New lift & escalator installation

Whether it’s a new building, an extension, or equipment that’s reached the end of its life, we’ll talk you through what’s involved before anything is specified.
Is this what you’re experiencing?
- A new building or extension needs a lift or escalator

What Eastern Lift Services can do
- We assess your building and its users.

What goes into specifying a new lift
The right equipment depends on your building: how much space is available, how many people need to use it and how often, and any specific accessibility requirements. We work through this with you in plain terms before recommending a specific type of lift — not the other way around.
Common questions
How long does installation take?
It depends on the scope and building access — we’ll give you a realistic timeframe once we’ve assessed your site.
Do I need planning permission?
Sometimes, depending on the building and the work involved — we’ll flag this early rather than leave it as a surprise.
Can you work alongside my architect or contractor?
Yes — we’re used to coordinating with other trades and professionals on a project.
