Maintenance & Servicing
Lift Maintenance Contracts — Flexible Plans for Every Building
We offer three maintenance contract tiers — Value, Prime and Premium — each designed around your lift type, usage and budget. Before recommending a plan, we can assess your equipment and visit frequency requirements, so you’re never paying for cover you don’t need.
Every contract includes planned preventative maintenance (PPM), compliance-focused service reporting, and access to our 24/7 emergency callout team.
We provide lift maintenance for a variety of lift types including Passenger Lifts, Goods Lifts, Platform Lifts, Dumbwaiters, Home Lifts, Through Floor Lifts along with Step Lifts.
Choose a Lift Maintenance Contract
Every lift is unique, and its maintenance package should be too. We offer a wide range of maintenance packages, each designed to cater to different requirements. Each package comes with a suite of services, ranging in coverage and support, ensuring that we’ve got you covered no matter your lift system.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.
Before recommending a comprehensive lift maintenance contract, we assess the condition of your lift and consider the volume of daily usage. This helps us determine the most appropriate level of maintenance cover, ensuring that your lift receives the precise care it requires.

What's Included in Every Lift Service Agreement
Our lift service agreements take the uncertainty out of maintenance. With clear terms and guaranteed service levels, you’ll always know when your next inspection is due, who’s attending, and what’s covered — whether you manage one lift or a national portfolio.
Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)
Every contract is built around a PPM schedule tailored to your lift type and usage. Our engineers carry out structured visits covering operational checks of doors, safety systems, electrical components and mechanical parts, along with lubrication and adjustments where required. Findings are recorded after every visit and a detailed service report issued, giving you full visibility of lift condition and any recommended follow-up works.
LOLER Compliance & Statutory Inspections
Under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER), all lifts used by employees or members of the public must undergo thorough examination at statutory intervals — typically every six months for passenger lifts. Our maintenance contracts are designed to keep you continuously compliant, with inspections carried out and documented by our qualified engineers. If you require a standalone LOLER inspection, we offer this as a separate service.
24/7 Emergency Callout Response
Even with regular maintenance, unexpected faults occur. All Deltron contracts include access to our 24/7 emergency response team. Every callout is recorded and reported, giving you full visibility of the fault, actions taken, and any recommended follow-up work. If your lift breaks down, our lift breakdown repair team can attend quickly to restore safe operation and minimise disruption.
Dedicated Account Management
Every Deltron client has a dedicated point of contact who manages your service schedule, tracks lift condition across your sites, and ensures nothing is missed. For facilities managers overseeing multiple buildings, this provides consistent oversight and centralised reporting across your entire portfolio.
We Maintain All Lift Types

Lift Maintenance Legal Requirements
Keeping your lifts safe, compliant and legal
Keeping lifts properly maintained is a legal requirement, not just good practice. Under LOLER, lifts used by employees or the public must be properly maintained and thoroughly examined at required intervals. Failure to do so can lead to HSE enforcement, prohibition notices, legal liability and serious safety risks.
A planned maintenance contract keeps your lifts safe, compliant and fully documented, with safety-critical faults identified and resolved quickly.
Need a standalone statutory inspection? Deltron also provides LOLER inspections as a separate service.
Preventative Maintenance vs Reactive Repairs
Preventative maintenance keeps your lifts reliable by fixing issues before they cause breakdowns. Reactive repairs only step in after faults occur — often leading to higher costs and disruption. Regular, planned servicing saves time, money, and inconvenience.
If lifts are ageing or experiencing recurring faults, our engineers may recommend lift modernisation or refurbishment to improve reliability and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lift Maintenance and Servicing
How often should a lift be serviced?
The frequency depends on how the lift is used, but most commercial lifts are serviced every 4 to 8 weeks. Higher-traffic buildings may require more frequent maintenance, while lower-use lifts can be serviced less often. A tailored maintenance plan ensures the right schedule for your building.
What does a lift maintenance contract include?
A lift maintenance contract typically includes planned preventative servicing, safety inspections, adjustments and ongoing technical support. Depending on the level of cover, it may also include breakdown response, replacement parts and compliance checks.
What is the difference between lift maintenance and lift repairs?
Lift maintenance is planned, routine servicing designed to prevent faults and ensure safe operation. Lift repairs are reactive and carried out when a fault or breakdown occurs. A strong maintenance strategy helps reduce the need for reactive repairs.
How much does lift maintenance cost in the UK?
Lift maintenance costs vary depending on the type, age and usage of the lift, as well as the level of contract cover. Buildings with higher usage or more complex systems typically require more frequent servicing and support.
Can you maintain lifts you didn’t install?
Yes. We regularly take over the maintenance of lifts from other providers and across all major lift brands. Our engineers will assess the condition of your equipment, identify any risks or inefficiencies, and implement a maintenance plan that keeps your lift safe, compliant and running reliably.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency call-outs?
Yes. All Deltron maintenance agreements include access to our 24/7 emergency response team, providing rapid assistance whenever you need it. Our nationwide network of engineers ensures your lifts are back in service quickly, safely, and with minimal disruption.
Can I switch lift maintenance providers?
Yes, and we make the process straightforward. We review your existing contract, manage the transition and put a clear maintenance plan in place, helping you improve reliability, response times and overall value from day one.
Is lift maintenance a legal requirement in the UK?
Yes. Under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998, all lifts used by employees or members of the public must be regularly maintained and undergo thorough examination at statutory intervals. Failure to comply can result in HSE enforcement action, prohibition notices and legal liability for any injuries or incidents arising from poorly maintained equipment. A planned maintenance contract ensures your lifts remain continuously compliant and fully documented.
