Our Lift Removal Process
Removing a lift in London requires careful planning, technical expertise, and strict compliance. Our process ensures everything runs smoothly from start to finish:
-
- Inspection & Condition Report
A London-based engineer visits your site to assess the lift and surrounding structure. A detailed condition report outlines the removal plan, timelines, and safety measures. - Tailored Plan
We design a project strategy that matches your building’s specific requirements. This may include arranging permits, providing skips, and scheduling work to avoid disruption to occupants. - Safe Dismantling & Disposal
Our engineers carefully dismantle the lift car, doors, control systems, machinery, and rails. Fluids are safely drained and disposed of in compliance with environmental regulations. - Recycling & Waste Management
Metals and reusable parts are sent to recycling facilities, while non-recyclable components are disposed of responsibly. - Site Clearance
Once complete, the area is left clear and ready for your next step—whether that’s a retrofitted installation, a new lift with gratifying finishes, or repurposing the space entirely.
Our clients value this structured approach because it minimises disruption, ensures safety, and guarantees compliance.
