A Lift Modernisation (or a Lift Refurbishment) is the process of upgrading or changing major parts of an existing lift, think of it as like a big lift repair. A Lift Refurbishment can improve the performance of the lift and make it more reliable. we recommend them on old lifts as a lot of them may not comply with safety and disability standards, refurbishing the lift can solve this issue however as well as fixing any other problems.
One of the biggest lift modernisation projects was in 1891 in Birmingham Victoria Square by Colin Craney. We have done many successful lift modernisations ourselves for example in May we did a lift modernisation for a stoke care home, where we gave your average lift an upgrade. as part of this project we turned the doors into a telephone box and upgraded the parts, all while causing minimal disruption with the outcome of a happy client.
This is an option you should consider if you have an old lift, if your lift is new we recommend a lift service or lift repair. Here are some reasons why you should consider a lift modernisation.
Minimal Disruption For Your Business – This type of lift project causes little disruption, instead of going through the hassle of taking the lift out and putting a new one in, we simply replace the parts, this doesn’t take as long and causes a lot less disruption to your business.
Quick to install – We can normally get a lift upgrade installed within a week, parts normally take around 3 weeks from when we order them. typically a new lift can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.
Environmentally friendly – In a world where being eco-friendly is important, we can say a lift modernisation is environmentally friendly because we are using old parts of a lift and replacing them rather than putting in a new lift altogether. The Lift is kept where it is but we put new parts in and improve it.
Cost Effective – This type of lift project is cost-effective as you wouldn’t need to pay to put the new lift in and instead you pay for the parts and time on site, it also will mean we won’t need to repair it for a while or as much, as old lifts often need repairs more, with this being said it will save you money in the long run.
Improved Interior and up to standards – A Lift Modernisation will make your lift interior look nicer, because who doesn’t want that? we have had some really creative ones in the past and we allow the client to choose what design they want and put their creative spin on it. they can also put the lift up to standard as lift laws and regulations have changed over the years and a lift that is 15+ years old may not follow these rules, as part of the process we will get the lift in line with today’s standards.
Nationwide Lift Services also offer the full turn key package for our clients for existing sites and new buildings. We offer the complete lift removal service, associated builders-work and electrical work, as well as the lift replacement. This allows us to be involved from early design phase right through to handover on site. By having one contractor on site, this cuts down on interfacing with other trades, improves communication and ultimately the level of service. We can even offer lift shafts nationwide to save time and money.
