    HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

    There are several key factors that we consider when estimating the cost of a professional lift removal and new lift installation, including the lift type, weight, and size, what needs to be removed, the job location, and how the lift equipment will be disposed of. We may need to factor in additional costs, like the cost of obtaining permits or providing our own skip. We can provide the most accurate quote for your lift removal once we know more about your situation.

    FAQS

    When it comes to professional lift removal services, we take care of removing all the following components:

    • The car: This is the passenger compartment that moves up and down the lift shaft.
    • Lift machinery: This includes the motors, gearboxes, and electrical components that power the lift’s movement.
    • Control system: This is the brains of the operation, managing things like calling floors and door opening.
    • Lift doors: Both inside the car and at each landing.
    • Lift rails and guides: These keep the car moving smoothly within the shaft.
    • Counterweight: This balances the weight of the car and helps the lift operate efficiently.

    Additionally:

    • Safe disposal of fluids: Lift removal services involve draining any hydraulic fluids or oils, which require proper disposal according to regulations.

    We understand that lift removal can be a complex process, and our experienced team is here to ensure a smooth, safe, and environmentally responsible removal.

    WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER REMOVING A SERVICE LIFT?

    There are a few reasons to consider removing a service lift:

  • Reduced Maintenance Costs: Maintaining an old or unused service lift can be expensive. Regular inspections, repairs, and safety certifications can add up over time. Removing the lift eliminates these ongoing costs.
  • Reclaim Valuable Space: Service lifts can take up a significant amount of space in a building. Removing the lift can free up valuable floor space that can be used for other purposes, potentially increasing property value.
  • Safety Concerns: Older lifts may not meet current safety standards or have outdated features. Removing a potentially unsafe lift reduces the risk of accidents and potential liability issues.
  • Non-Compliance: Building codes and regulations regarding lifts can change over time. An older lift might not comply with current safety codes, making it unusable and potentially hazardous.
  • Obsolete Technology: Older lifts might be slow, inefficient, or have limited weight capacity. Removing a lift that no longer meets your needs allows for the installation of a more modern and efficient model if necessary.
  • Once we’ve removed the lift equipment from your building, we’ll dispose of it for you. We take the responsible disposal of lift equipment very seriously, making sure to remove all components in an environmentally friendly way:

  • Recycling: Many lift components, particularly metal elements like the car itself, rails, guides, and counterweight, can be recycled.  We work with recycling facilities to ensure these materials are processed and reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle, minimising environmental impact.
  • Proper Disposal: Components that can’t be recycled, such as electrical components, control systems, and certain fluids (like hydraulic oils), require proper disposal according to regulations.  We understand these regulations and handle the disposal process responsibly to avoid environmental contamination.
