Is your lift's licence holding you up?
The building is ready and the lift is installed, but official operation cannot begin without the licence. Each day of delay means units left unoccupied, tenants unable to move in, and a legal liability that stays open. What the authorities require is rarely obvious until you are already in the process.
Elevator licensing is the official permit that allows your lift to operate legally. Our technician visits the site, checks the lift's condition, and confirms what the authority needs. We then compile the full document file and follow the application through every stage until the licence is issued and handed to you.

Does your lift need a new licence?
A newly completed building
If your lift was recently installed but not yet licensed, a site visit establishes what the authority requires before we submit the application.
An existing lift without a licence
We assess the lift's condition first to establish whether it meets current requirements or needs remedial work before the application can be filed.
A licence due for renewal
Renewal conditions depend on the authority and the lift's condition at inspection; the site visit determines exactly what must be prepared.

Honest answers before you open a licence file
What determines the cost of the licensing process?
Cost depends on the lift type, the building, the authority involved, and the lift's condition at inspection. If repair or modernisation is needed before the application is accepted, that affects the overall scope. The site visit gives a clear picture before anything is submitted.
Will the licensing inspection mean the lift must be stopped and made unavailable during the process?
Document preparation and application follow-up do not require the lift to be stopped. If repair or modernisation work is needed before the official inspection, the downtime depends on what that work involves, and the technician confirms this after the site visit.
Will there be disruptive works or noise in the building during licensing?
The site visit for file preparation causes no disturbance to building occupants. If the lift needs adjustments before the official inspection, we explain the scope and likely impact straight after the assessment.
Are the building and its occupants safe during the licensing process?
If the lift is running during the process and its condition raises any concern, we tell you plainly after the assessment. The decision to keep it running or suspend use depends on what the site reveals, and we will not leave you without a clear recommendation.
How do I know the company I choose genuinely understands what licensing authorities require?
Ask for a step-by-step explanation of the process and what happens if the application is queried or rejected. A company that knows the answers in advance and flags weaknesses in your file before submission is one worth trusting, not one that simply promises an outcome.

All our servicesQuestions about elevator licensing
What documents does elevator licensing typically require?
Required documents vary by building type, lift type and the authority involved. After the site visit and assessment we give you the full list and flag anything missing before the application is submitted.
Can a lift installed years ago still be licensed?
Usually yes, but it depends on the lift's condition and whether it meets current requirements. Modernisation or repair work may be needed before the application is accepted, and the site inspection determines exactly what.
When must an elevator licence be renewed?
The authority sets the licence period and renewal conditions, which vary case by case. We recommend contacting us before expiry so we can confirm the renewal requirements and prepare the file in good time.
What happens if the lift fails the licensing inspection?
The inspection authority states what must be corrected. We review the findings with you, advise on any repair or upgrade needed, then resubmit the application once those points are addressed.
Do you follow up with the licensing authorities on my behalf?
Yes, we liaise with the relevant authorities and track the application on your behalf. Your role is to provide the required documents; we inform you of any official query that needs a direct response from you.
Can a licensing application be submitted before construction is fully complete?
It depends on the authority's requirements and the stage of construction. In some cases certain works must be complete first. After the site visit we advise on the right time to submit the application.
What does the inspector check during a licensing site visit?
The inspector typically checks the lift's condition, its components, the machine room, the shaft, and whether technical requirements are met. The precise points vary by lift type, building and authority involved.
