The passenger-lift stock in Sutton

Sutton town centre has offices, shopping centre lifts and new residential blocks. Belmont has hospital and research sites with bed lifts and passenger lifts. Cheam, Carshalton and Wallington have retirement housing, care homes and blocks over shops. Hackbridge and Beddington have newer residential development and industrial sites.

What the six-monthly examination covers

Six months for every lift that carries people, and for every hoist and stairlift in a care setting. Hospital bed lifts are examined like any passenger lift, but the visit has to be planned around the wards they serve. We agree the sequence with the estates team so no route is left without a lift.

Areas covered around Sutton

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

Common Questions

Passenger lift inspections in Sutton — common questions

Can you inspect hospital bed lifts without disrupting wards?

Yes. We plan the sequence with the estates team, examine one lift at a time, and work out of hours where a daytime isolation is not possible.

Do you send reminders before the next inspection?

Yes. We keep every lift's next-due date on record and contact you before it falls due, so a busy estates or care team does not have to track it themselves.

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.
