Complete Lift Installation Support

Our lift installation services support commercial, residential and public-sector projects across the UK, from initial site survey through to installation, testing and handover.

We take the time to understand the building, how the lift will be used and any practical or structural requirements before recommending a suitable solution. Our team can support with lift specification, site requirements, coordination with architects and contractors, installation, commissioning and ongoing aftercare.

We work on both new-build and existing properties, including retrofit and refurbishment projects, helping clients plan around available space, access requirements, travel height, structural considerations and the wider project programme.

With more than 30 years of industry experience, S&D Lifts provides practical support throughout the installation process to help make each project as straightforward as possible.

Lift Installation for New Builds and Existing Buildings

We install lifts in both new-build developments and existing properties, including retrofit and refurbishment projects.

For existing buildings, our team will assess factors such as available space, access, travel height, structural requirements and how the lift needs to be used before recommending a suitable solution.

For new-build projects, we can work alongside architects, contractors and project teams to help coordinate lift specifications, site requirements and installation as part of the wider construction programme.

Goods Lifts and Service Lifts

We install goods and service lifts for warehouses, retail premises, manufacturing environments and other buildings where loads need to move safely between levels. For smaller items, food, documents or laundry, our service lifts and dumbwaiters offer a compact alternative.

Residential and Home Lift Installation

A residential lift installation can improve accessibility, support independent living and make a multi-storey property easier to use. Our home lift installation service covers existing homes, renovations and new-build projects, with configurations chosen around the available space and intended use.

Our Lift Installation Process

Consultation and Site Survey

We discuss the building, users, intended loads and project programme before surveying the proposed location. This helps our lift installers identify suitable options, site requirements and any potential constraints.

Specification, Design and Coordination

Once the lift is selected, we prepare the specification and coordinate requirements with the client and, where relevant, architects and contractors. Enabling works, electrical supplies, shafts, pits and structural responsibilities vary by project and will be clarified before installation.

Installation, Testing and Handover

Our engineers install, test and commission the lift before handover. We explain safe operation, provide relevant documentation and can continue supporting the equipment through planned maintenance, repairs and long-term aftercare

Lift Installation FAQs

Yes. Many platform lifts, home lifts, goods lifts and service lifts can be retrofitted. Suitability depends on the available space, structure, access and required travel, which we assess during the survey.

Timescales vary by lift type and project complexity. Manufacturing lead times, preparation works, stops and site access can all affect the programme. We provide a project-specific schedule once requirements are confirmed.

Cost depends on the specification, capacity, travel, finishes, structural requirements and enabling works. A site survey allows us to prepare an accurate quotation.

Some projects require a shaft, pit, supporting structure, electrical supply or openings, while others need limited preparation. We define the required works and responsibilities before installation.
