The passenger-lift stock in Merton

Wimbledon has office buildings near the station, new residential blocks and mansion-style flats. Colliers Wood has new towers and retail parks. Morden and Mitcham have council and housing association blocks, retirement housing and care homes. Raynes Park and South Wimbledon are mainly residential, with smaller blocks that each have one lift.

What the six-monthly examination covers

All six-monthly. In smaller blocks with one lift, the examination is quick but the date is easily lost, especially when the managing agent changes. We keep the record and the reminder with the building, not with whoever happened to book the last visit.

Areas covered around Merton

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

Common Questions

Passenger lift inspections in Merton — common questions

We've just taken over management of a block. How do we find out when the lift is due?

Ask the previous agent for the last Report of Thorough Examination; it shows the next-due date. If it cannot be found, book an examination straight away. From then on we keep the record and remind you, so it survives any future change of agent.

Do you inspect lifts in Wimbledon offices outside working hours?

Yes. We can examine office lifts early, late or at weekends, one car at a time, so tenants are not affected.

Further reading

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.
