A lift survey is a comprehensive assessment of a building’s lift. The survey can cover various aspects such as lift safety, performance, maintenance quality, and compliance with legislation.

Here are some common types of lift surveys:

1. Maintenance Quality Audit: Evaluates the quality of maintenance work performed by contractors.
2. Condition Survey: Assesses the current state, wear and tear, and environmental impacts on the lift equipment.
3. Reliability Investigation: Identifies root causes of poor reliability or frequent breakdowns.
4. Safety Survey: Checks compliance with safety standards and identifies potential hazards.
5. Performance and Reliability Survey: Focuses on issues like floor levelling, noise, and vibration.
6. Regulations Survey: Ensures the lift meets all necessary legal obligations and standards.
7. Refurbishment or Modernisation Survey: Determines the extent of refurbishment or upgrades needed.

The findings from these surveys are compiled into detailed reports, which include recommendations, estimated equipment lifespan, and budgetary costs for any necessary works.
