The passenger-lift stock in Harrow

Harrow town centre and Wealdstone have new residential blocks above shops and on former office sites. Stanmore, Pinner and Edgware have retirement housing, care homes and mansion-style blocks, many with a single lift that residents rely on. The borough also has independent and state schools with lifts and platform lifts for accessibility, and a major hospital.

What the six-monthly examination covers

Every lift that carries people is six-monthly. In retirement housing and care homes the lift is often the only way to the upper floors for most residents, so the visit is planned with the manager and kept short. School lifts are easiest to examine in the holidays, and we can schedule them then.

Areas covered around Harrow

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

Common Questions

Passenger lift inspections in Harrow — common questions

Can you inspect our school's lift during the holidays?

Yes. School lifts and platform lifts are easiest to examine when pupils are not on site. We can book the visit for the holidays, as long as the six-monthly due date allows it, and remind you before the next one.

Does a platform lift in a school need a LOLER inspection?

Yes. A platform lift carries people, so it is six-monthly like any passenger lift, even though it is small and slow. It is one of the lifts most often missed.

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.
