LOLER Examinations for Lifts & Hoists Across London, Kent & the South East

Under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER), certain lifts and lifting equipment must be thoroughly examined at regular intervals by a competent person.

​

We provide independent LOLER examinations across London, Kent and the South East for stairlifts, platform lifts, homelifts and ceiling hoists in both residential and commercial settings.

What is a LOLER Examination?

A LOLER examination is a statutory thorough inspection carried out to ensure lifting equipment is safe to use and compliant with current regulations.

​

Unlike routine servicing, a LOLER inspection focuses on safety, structural integrity and legal compliance rather than maintenance.

​

Following examination, a written report and certificate is issued outlining:

​

• The condition of the equipment
• Any defects found
• Whether the lift remains safe to use
• Any remedial actions required

Inspection Intervals
