Peace of mind, exactly when you need it most.
When a lift breaks down, every minute counts. At Sheridan Lifts, our emergency repairs team is on call 24/7, 365 days a year, ready to get your lift back up and running fast, safely, and entirely hassle-free. We don’t use outsourced call centres; when you contact us, you speak directly with our UK-based expert coordination team who deploy engineers immediately.
As one of the UK’s largest independent lift repair companies, we have local engineers stationed nationwide. Our coordination team manages this resource 24 hours a day using real-time vehicle tracking, ensuring the nearest available expert is dispatched straight to your site. This rapid response not only reduces stress for trapped passengers but radically minimises the disruption to your commercial operations.
- Guaranteed 1-hour response time for passenger entrapments to ensure safe and speedy releases.
- Strict 4-hour breakdown response time as standard, minimising costly operational downtime.
- Extensively trained engineers equipped to fault-find and repair all major worldwide lift manufacturers.
Specialist fault-finding across all lift types.
Whether your lift was installed by us or another company, our engineers are trained to repair all makes and models. We carry the advanced software tools required to access and diagnose closed-protocol systems from major global brands.
Counterweighted and rope-driven. The most efficient option above four floors, the smoothest ride, and the longest service life. Needs a machine room or a compliant overhead.
The gearless motor sits in the shaft, so no plant space is lost. Now the default for new-build where headroom allows. Quiet, efficient and cheaper to build around.
A ram pushes the car from below. Low headroom, heavy loads and short travel suit it well. The power pack can sit up to ten metres away in a cupboard.
We will tell you when a smaller lift is fine.
Oversizing is common. A 13-person car in a building where eight would carry the peak load costs more to buy, more to run and takes more of the floor plate.
The traffic calculation takes an afternoon and usually pays for itself twice over.
Directly employed engineers, not subcontractors.
The same team surveys the shaft, sets the rails, hangs the doors and commissions the lift. Nobody hands the job on halfway.
On occupied buildings we work to an agreed access plan, including out-of-hours where the stair is the only alternative route.
Typical applications
Two 1000 kg cars in a shared shaft serving eight floors, sequenced as a duplex group to cut lobby waits at peak.
Machine-room-less lift installed in a four-storey block with no plant space, commissioned before first handover.
Low-headroom hydraulic lift threaded into a listed stairwell without altering the principal staircase.
Full replacement of a 1970s lift in an occupied block, with an agreed twelve-day outage and daily resident notices.
