The passenger-lift stock in Hillingdon

The Heathrow perimeter has a long run of large hotels, each with several passenger lifts and service lifts in use every hour of the day. Stockley Park and Uxbridge have office campuses and a university. Hayes and West Drayton have new residential blocks on former industrial land, plus logistics sites. Ruislip and Northwood are mostly residential, with care homes and retirement housing.

What the six-monthly examination covers

All passenger lifts are six-monthly. A hotel service lift that staff ride in is six-monthly as well; a dumbwaiter that carries only goods is twelve. In hotels, where several lifts of different types sit in one building, getting each lift on the right interval is half the job.

Areas covered around Hillingdon

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

Common Questions

Passenger lift inspections in Hillingdon — common questions

Our hotel has passenger lifts, service lifts and dumbwaiters. Are they all six-monthly?

Passenger lifts are. A service lift that staff ride in is too. A dumbwaiter or goods lift that carries only goods is twelve-monthly. We list every lift with its own interval so each is examined on time and no more often than it needs.

Can you work night shifts for hotel lifts?

Yes, by arrangement. Hotels around the airport are busy at most hours, so we agree the quietest window with the duty manager and examine one car at a time.

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.
