As the UK’s capital city, London is the location of thousands of period Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian three-, four- or five-storey homes.

Although a large proportion of these will have been converted into multiple occupancy buildings, there remains a significant number of family residences owned privately or under company ownership and used by professionals. Many of these prestigious homes, particularly those in areas like Belgravia, Knightsbridge, Mayfair, and Chelsea, have passenger lifts installed for convenience or to assist residents with limited mobility.

Due to the low-rise nature of these townhouses, the most common type of lift installed is hydraulic, as there is often no space for a motor room above the lift shaft. While Machine-Room-Less (MRL) lifts are an option, they are usually more expensive than an equivalent hydraulic lift. Platform lifts typically offer the most economical solution for low-rise residential buildings and can often be installed within an existing lift shaft.

Across the country, and particularly in London, Liftec Express has an enviable history of maintaining, repairing, and modernising lifts in private residences. We also provide a reliable and cost-effective supply and installation service for hydraulic, traction, and platform lifts, offering expert advice to help you find the ideal option for your needs and budget.

One of the issues encountered when working in any residential property is that of disturbance to residents. We fully understand this and always take extra care to lower noise when maintaining a lift and reduce noise and dust when modernising or installing a lift. We also recognise the importance of adhering to schedules, and we proactively keep residents informed of any potential delays.

Liftec Express offer a range of lift maintenance contracts for residential lifts of all types, including original and non-original manufacturers’ closed and open protocol equipment, hydraulic and traction lifts.

If you manage residential lifts and are thinking about lift maintenance, modernisation or lift installation and would like to speak with a reliable company that has friendly and respectful engineers, now may be the time to speak with Liftec Express.
