Complete Lift Replacement

Before deciding to replace a lift

You will need to consider: 

• Feasibility of any repairs to an existing lift 
• Likelihood of ongoing problems with an existing lift 
• Continual repair costs vs replacement cost 
• Duration of replacement works vs repeated downtime from recurring problems 
• Potential benefits of replacement: appearance, function and compliance 

The PIP Lifts team have extensive experience in both repairing and replacing lifts (including MRL, traction lifts and hydraulic lifts).

We will take you through all of the options available to help you make a fully informed decision, with full knowledge of both up-front and potential ongoing costs. 

Maximum satisfaction with minimum disruption 

If opting for a lift replacement, we will work closely with you to plan the necessary works, so you can feel confident that the improvements being made to the building will deliver exactly what is planned. Our modernisation team work to minimise disruption to the existing lift service.

Where required, we install temporary hoardings to provide a safe working area for our employees and to restrict public access.

When needed, and subject to agreement, we can limit our work to the times when your building is quiet or closed to the public. 

Modernisation vs lift replacement 

Installing a new lift can be expensive, so the cost must be weighed up against the likely lifespan of the existing lift and the options for modernising it.

Our highly experienced staff can advise you from the very beginning to ensure you have all the information you need to make the right choice. We will: 

• Visit the site to carry out a survey 
• Provide a report with our recommendations 
• Conduct a full risk assessment 
• Discuss the options with you before going ahead with any agreed work
