The passenger-lift stock in Enfield

Enfield Town, Palmers Green and Southgate have blocks over shops, retirement housing and care homes. Edmonton and Ponders End have council estates with medium and high-rise blocks, and Meridian Water is a new residential district under construction. Brimsdown and the Lea Valley have warehouses, factories and distribution sites with goods lifts and passenger lifts to offices and mezzanines.

What the six-monthly examination covers

Passenger lifts are six-monthly; goods-only lifts are twelve-monthly. On industrial sites a goods lift that people ride in is six-monthly too, which is a common gap. We sort each lift onto the right interval on the first visit and keep the record from then on.

Areas covered around Enfield

Passenger lifts carry people, so the statutory interval is six months — not twelve.

Common Questions

Passenger lift inspections in Enfield — common questions

Staff sometimes ride in our goods lift. Does that change the interval?

Yes. If people travel in it, it is six-monthly rather than twelve, and it must be designed and marked for carrying people. If it is goods-only, staff should not ride in it at all. We will tell you which applies on the first visit.

Do you cover the whole of Enfield?

Yes, from Enfield Town and Southgate to Edmonton and the Lea Valley industrial estates, along with the rest of north London.

How Often Does a Passenger Lift Need Inspecting?
Every six months. The confusion is almost never about the number — it is about whether the maintenance visits already cover it. They do not. A service contract and a thorough examination are different things done by different people for different reasons, and having one does not satisfy the duty for the other.
Will the Examiner Leave My Lift Out of Service?
It is the question duty-holders ask least often and worry about most, and it is the real reason many let their maintenance contractor examine its own work. A thorough examination takes the lift out of normal service deliberately — that is what testing the safety gear means. Getting it back is specific to the installation in front of you rather than to the name on the doors.
Can My Lift Company Carry Out the LOLER Inspection?
It is one of the most common questions duty-holders ask, and the honest answer is not a flat no. LOLER does not name a prohibited person. What it requires is a competent person, and HSE expects that person to be sufficiently independent and impartial to make objective decisions — which is where a maintenance provider examining its own work runs into difficulty. This is about the structure of the arrangement, not about anyone's honesty.
