What kind of costs can you expect?

The maintenance costs you can expect depend on a variety of factors. The type of lift you have is of course of significant importance. Is the lift used very intensively or not? Does the lift transport a few people or usually several people at the same time? These factors also influence maintenance costs. In addition, the number of failure reports is important. The more faults, the more maintenance is naturally required. The costs for a maintenance contract depend on the number of maintenance visits required annually. The costs of a maintenance contract can vary from £ 200 to £ 2,100 per year.

What should you pay attention to when taking out a maintenance contract?

If you want to conclude a maintenance contract, there are a number of factors that you should consider carefully. It is important that you know what is or is not covered by the maintenance contract. For example, the inspection of the lift is not always included in the contract. We recommend that you check that the cost of replacing parts is included in the contract. In addition, remedying malfunctions should of course not entail any additional costs. The contract duration and the notice period are also things that you have to take into account when entering into a contract.

How often you have to have the lift serviced mainly depends on how intensively the lift is used. With a home lift, it is usually sufficient if you have the lift serviced once a year. If a lift is used intensively, it is advisable to have it serviced at least four times a year. Good maintenance prevents malfunctions and other problems with the lift.

The legal obligations you must comply with

Due to the Lifts Directive that you must comply with, lift maintenance is mandatory. For example, a periodic inspection must take place 12 months after the lift has been put into use. After this, a periodic inspection must take place every 18 months. In addition to mandatory lift maintenance, it may also extend the life of your lift. How much maintenance is sensible depends on how intensively the lift is used and, for example, the age of the lift.
