Equipment We Examine

ISE Compliance specialises exclusively in the thorough examination of passenger lifts under LOLER 1998. This focus means our engineers have deep, dedicated expertise in lift technology, safety systems, and the specific regulatory requirements that apply to passenger-carrying equipment.

 From a single passenger lift in a residential property to a multi-car traction lift installation in a commercial building, we provide thorough examinations that are precise, fully documented, and legally compliant.

LOLER at a Glance

Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998 is a legal requirement for any business or organisation in the UK that has passenger lifts. These regulations exist to protect passengers, reduce risk and ensure lift safety is never compromised.

If you’re a Residential Management Company (RMC) or Duty Holder, you are legally responsible for arranging thorough lift examinations every six months. These inspections must be carried out by an independent, competent person (not your lift maintenance company).

At ISE, we provide fully accredited engineer surveyors who meet all LOLER requirements, giving you complete peace of mind that your lifts are safe, compliant and legally covered.

Why Choose ISE Compliance?

As specialists in this sector, we know the bug-bears, little niggles and time issues involved in maintaining statutory compliance for in-service lifts. That’s why our examination services include a range of value-added benefits designed to make compliance simple.

Our service is tailored specifically for the residential property management sector. To make life easier, we offer an annual contract covering 2 LOLER examinations (every six months), carried out on time and hassle-free.

Sheila

We’ve had an excellent experience working with Chris and his company, ISE, for our LOLER inspections and insurance certification needs. From the start, Chris has been incredibly responsive and professional, always quick to answer queries and provide guidance. When we found ourselves in need of annual contracts for inspections, to ensure our lifts were compliant, ISE was able to attend, helping us meet deadlines and maintain operational continuity. Their thorough approach and in-depth knowledge of the regulations gave us complete confidence that everything was up to standard. It’s clear that Chris takes pride in delivering reliable, quality service, and we would highly recommend ISE to anyone needing LOLER inspections or lift compliance support. Their dedication and responsiveness set them apart.

COO - Evolve Block & Estate Management Ltd

Helen

We are happy with the service provided, we know that all of our LOLER inspection are completed on time and the reports are issued the same day highlighting any matters of concern. Chris Dello, our main point of contact, is always very helpful, if we require any advice and we would definitely recommend these services to other agents and companies requiring the statutory lift inspections.

Head of Facilities, NOW Students

Martin

Excellent service and the communication in particular has been superb! Agreed dates for LOLER inspections have been completed on time, and Chris is always on hand to assist when needed. Really appreciate the support in ensuring our lifts are compliant, as when taking over a portfolio of properties from a previous management agent, this can at times be very difficult. The additional advice on certain aspects of our lift management is also very much appreciated.

Director of Consulting Services, Fjeld Consulting

Scott

We have been hugely impressed with Chris and the team at ISEUK – they are extremely responsive and we have been very happy to introduce them to additional clients. Our client has been very happy to continue working with ISEUK and has received great support from them to keep them compliant through a significant period of growth.
