Passenger & Goods Lift Inspections in Thanet

Lifts play a vital role in many buildings across Thanet — from commercial premises in Margate to residential blocks in Ramsgate. Whether they carry people or goods, they must be inspected regularly under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998 and PUWER to ensure they remain safe, compliant, and fully operational.

​

At Excel Inspection Solutions, we deliver professional LOLER and PUWER inspections for lifts across Thanet, covering Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs, and the surrounding area. Our qualified engineer surveyors examine all types of lift equipment and provide digital reports, safety assessments, and condition surveys tailored to your property.

What types of lifts do we inspect?

We carry out statutory lift inspections across Thanet for:

​

  • Passenger lifts (residential, public and commercial buildings)

  • Platform lifts and step lifts

  • Home lifts and domestic installations

  • Goods lifts and service lifts

  • Kitchen lifts and dumbwaiters

  • Evacuation and disabled access lifts

​

All inspections are carried out under LOLER, and where relevant, PUWER.

LOLER for passenger and goods lifts

Under LOLER, lifting equipment used to move people must be thoroughly examined every 6 months. Equipment lifting goods only must be inspected at least once every 12 months.

​

Our Thanet lift inspection service includes:

  • Visual and functional checks on the lift

  • Inspection of key safety components and alarms

  • Review of maintenance records and servicing history

  • Highlighting of safety defects or non-compliance

  • Delivery of a digital LOLER report with photographs

​

We also check associated lifting equipment like suspension chains and lifting accessories.

Why regular inspection matters

Lifts face regular use and wear — especially in blocks of flats, hotels and public buildings. Over time, faults can emerge that compromise both safety and compliance.

​

Routine inspections help you:

  • Remain compliant with LOLER and PUWER

  • Reduce breakdowns and liability risks

  • Ensure user safety and confidence

  • Support insurance documentation

  • Plan ahead with clear reporting and recommendations
