Lift Accreditation - Crucial for Safety & Maintenance
At RJ Lifts, we know how essential official company accreditations are when searching for lift maintenance services. Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) have been a legal requirement in the UK since 1998 – failing to upkeep these can result in legal trouble and safety issues.
Choosing the right lift servicing company significantly impacts the efficiency and security of your lift service. In this blog, we will explore the importance of lift certification and what you should look out for when choosing your lift maintenance team.

Why Company Accreditations Matter for Lift Maintenance
Proper lift certifications ensure your lift maintenance company possesses the knowledge to execute quality repair services while maintaining regulatory requirements. The UK Elevator Federation reports that lifts in the UK break down an average of 3 times per year – with appropriately accredited lift services and routine lift maintenance, you can avoid unexpected repairs and safety issues.
The risks of neglecting appropriate lift certification include:
- Safety Hazards – Without a certificated service, your lift could experience unexpected breakdowns, putting your passengers at risk of entrapment or injury.
- Legal Issues – Building owners must ensure their lifts are safe for public use. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines and further legal action.
- Worsened Conditions – Ignoring lift repairs as they arise allows small technical issues to become large safety issues later. Ensuring your technician is certified allows you to avoid lift failures down the line.
Did You Know? According to LOLER regulations, UK passenger lifts must be serviced every 6 months. At RJ Lifts, we provide a thorough lift inspection service that complies with LOLER regulations – contact us today to get your free quote! |
