The controller
The most common cause of poor levelling, slow response and unexplained faults. A modern controller also reports what went wrong, which shortens every future visit.
Modernisation
Keep the shaft. Replace what has actually worn out.
An old lift is rarely old all the way through. The shaft, the guide rails and often the motor have years left. The cabin, the doors, the controller and the drive are usually what is failing. We audit first, then replace only what the audit says.
Why it is worth doing
A full replacement is not always the honest answer
A lift that judders, levels badly, takes too long to answer a call or costs a fortune in callouts is usually telling you about its controller and its doors, not its structure. Replacing the whole installation means new civil work, a long shutdown and a much larger bill.
Modernisation keeps the shaft and the parts that are sound, and replaces the parts that are not. The lift comes back faster, quieter and cheaper to run, and the building is without it for days rather than months.
Where the audit says a full replacement is the right call, we will tell you that too. It is a bigger order for us, which is exactly why the audit findings go to you in writing.
What we replace
Six things a modernisation usually covers
The drive
A VVVF drive replaces older two-speed gear. Smoother starting and stopping, quieter running and a real cut in the electricity bill.
Doors and door operator
Doors are the single biggest source of breakdowns on an old lift. New operator, new interlocks, and a full-height light curtain instead of a mechanical safety edge.
The cabin
New walls, ceiling, flooring, handrail, lighting and car operating panel, chosen from the same cabin design range as a new lift.
Safety devices
Automatic rescue device, overspeed governor check, new buffers and interlocks, brought up to what IS 17900 expects.
Landing fixtures
New landing panels and position indicators at every floor, which is the part residents actually see and judge the building by.
The audit
What happens before anyone quotes
We inspect the machine, the shaft, the rails, the ropes, the doors and the controller, and we test what can safely be tested. You get a written report listing what is sound, what is worn and what is unsafe, with a recommendation against each item.
That report is yours whether or not you order the work. If it says your lift needs replacing rather than modernising, it will say so plainly.
Price
Why there is no from-price here
Every old lift has worn differently. A controller and door package on a G+3 residential lift and a full cabin, drive and fixture replacement on a G+8 commercial machine are not the same job, and a published from-price would only mislead.
What we can promise is the same contract as a new lift: itemised lines, the completion date in writing, and the licence and inspection paperwork handled by us.

Where to go from here
Ask about this lift
Tell us the building. We will tell you the number.
Modernisation starts with an audit, not a quotation. Tell us the age of the lift, the make if you know it, and what is actually going wrong, and we will tell you what is worth keeping.
- A free site survey. The drawings are yours whether or not you order.
- An itemised quotation, with the licence and the designer cabin already inside it.
- A written completion date, and interest paid by us if we miss it.
