Modernisation

A programme of modernisation can often extend the life of existing mechanical handling equipment such as lifts, escalators, cable cars and any type of vertical transportation.  

GET IN TOUCH

From experience, we know that occasionally a contractor’s desire to present the best price and their bid in a more favourable light, can sometimes lead to the exclusion of minor items. Unfortunately, these shortfalls can result in increased costs later on.

We help hundreds of clients devise the most appropriate modernisation specification for their particular project, while considering the main areas, such as:

– What type of mechanical handling equipment is required?
– Will it be fit for purpose?
– How do we accurately compare competing tenders?
– Are all contractors quoting for the same elements and the same value added?

The modernisation contract can then be implemented by your chosen provider, or LECS UK can also help you with issuing to tender, tender analysis and contractor interviews. LECS UK can also provide full project management consultation too if required.

LECS (UK) is a highly professional lift consultancy that provides a very responsive and high quality service.

Very practical and straightforward to work with.

Rob Levy - Mechanical Operations Manager, Engineering Services - Royal Borough of Greenwich

Running a funicular railway that is almost a hundred years old requires a lot of expertise and patience. Throw in a beachside location and a lot of salt in the air and the maintenance becomes all consuming. For almost 15 years we have been able to call on David Cooper and his team at LECS UK to assist us and also to carry out our inspections.  It is fair to say that without their professionalism, attention to detail and go the extra mile attitude, the railway would have closed along with so many other parts of our national heritage.  LECS UK has enabled an amateur charitable group to take over an inclined cable railway and run it with confidence and profitability, something for which we are very grateful.

Lindsay Yelland - Chairman, Babbacombe Cliff Railway CIO

We operate hotels, serviced apartments and luxury private residential units.  The smooth running of our vertical transportation systems is paramount and we are delighted to have LECS UK’s support to rely on.

Marco Savini - Project Director, Como Holdings (UK) Ltd

We have used the engineering services of LECS(UK) for a number of years supporting various corporate and retail clients predominantly with the provision of periodic engineering lift inspections. We have always found the LECS team courteous, professional in all regard and responsive.  A recent example of their prompt response required a LOLER inspection for a retail client who simply had let their ‘in store’ passenger lift inspection lapse. One call at 7pm and they were on site at 9am the following morning! – Highly recommended

Stuart Harlow - Director, Principal Consultant - Aston Francis

TGP thanks LECS UK for the professionalism shown in executing our recent works. It was always envisaged this would prove to be a troublesome project to complete so to complete on schedule given the additional recent and on-going restrictions and anxieties [Corona Virus] speaks volumes for LECS.

Pat Cahill - Senior Surveyor, The Guinness Partnership

As an independent authorising engineer (lifts) providing services to NHS Trusts we needed an independent lift engineer consultant to perform the audits of the maintenance being performed for our client Trusts. A single call to LECS (UK) to discuss what options were available and the need to audit to the requirements of HTM 08-02 resulted in a very positive response.

John Stephens - Principal Partner, Walnut Lodge Services

We have a long relationship with LECS UK and value their professional advice for both consultancy and project management of the lifts in our buildings. We are pleased that the entire project [Park Lane, London] was professionally managed by LECS UK. LECS UK’s advice and management of this project was invaluable.
