Lift Report
Gain a clear, independent overview of your lift assets
If you’re responsible for one lift or an entire portfolio, making decisions without a clear baseline can be risky. Whether you’re acquiring a new building, reviewing an existing site, or planning future investment, you need reliable information you can trust.
An ILECS lift report gives you a clear, independent overview of your lift. It brings together technical, compliance and lifecycle information, so you can understand what you have today and plan confidently for tomorrow.
See the full picture before making your next move.
Rather than relying on fragmented information or assumptions, an ILECS lift report provides a single, reliable point of reference. It’s often the first step when clarity is needed and is particularly useful when:
- Undertaking due diligence on a new building or acquisition
- Creating a baseline overview of lifts across a portfolio
- Supporting capital planning for future replacement or modernisation
- Establishing a clearer understanding of lift assets before wider strategy work
We will provide you with essential information regarding the age, condition, and compliance of the installed equipment, along with comments on maintenance, an estimate of the remaining service life, and budget costs to support you with your capital expenditure for future replacement or modernisation.

What we commonly get asked…
As independent lift and escalator consultants, we regularly get asked the following questions. If you can’t find an answer to your question, feel free to get in touch to ask a member of our team.
How can I reduce the frequency of lift breakdowns?
In the UK, lifts typically experience an average of four breakdowns per year. However, it is important to note that this statistic does not mean each lift will break down four times every year.
To minimise the occurrence of breakdowns, it is essential to implement regular servicing and inspections, as well as to ensure that the door tracks are clear and unobstructed.
Lifts are mechanical and electrical systems that require proper care and maintenance to avoid misuse and ensure longevity.
How do you know when a lift has reached the end of its useful life?
The average lifespan of a lift is between 15 and 20 years, assuming it has been installed correctly, well-maintained with quality equipment, and cared for by its users. Lifts that are over 15 years old may face a shortage of spare parts and technical support, which can lead to more extended downtimes in the event of a breakdown.
What will an asset overview report from ILECS tell me?
An asset overview report provides a clear, easy-to-understand snapshot of your lift’s condition, using a traffic light system to highlight key areas. It also outlines the lift’s remaining lifespan and offers indicative budget costs for modernisation or replacement. This helps you plan effectively for capital expenditure and ensure your lift remains reliable and compliant.
