Lift Maintenance in PBSA and Academic Spaces  

Lift maintenance is crucial for ensuring the smooth, efficient, and safe operation of academic spaces and Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA). Whether your premises have multiple floors or cater to students and residents, Derwent FM’s specialists are here to effectively maintain your lifts. 

• Compliance with Regulations:
  Lift maintenance ensures your organisation, and its premises remain compliant with regulations such as the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER). In academic spaces and PBSA, adherence to these regulations is essential to provide safe and accessible vertical transportation for all users. 

• User Satisfaction and Safety:
  Well-maintained lifts contribute to user satisfaction. When lifts operate smoothly, efficiently, and without interruption, building occupants are more content. In academic environments, where students, faculty, and visitors rely on lifts, maintaining their functionality is crucial for convenience and safety. 

• Tailored Maintenance Schedules:
  Lift maintenance involves a tailored schedule that considers the unique needs of your premises. Academic buildings often have specific usage patterns, and customising maintenance ensures optimal performance and minimises disruptions. 

• Preventing Issues and Emergency Repairs:
  Regular inspections identify potential issues before they escalate, preventing serious problems. Emergency repairs are also carried out promptly to minimise downtime, crucial for academic spaces where timely access is essential. 

• Efficient Service Visits:
  Derwent FM’s specialist engineers carry necessary parts and tools during scheduled visits, minimising disruption to academic operations. This efficiency ensures that most maintenance tasks can be completed in a single visit. 

• Experience and Expertise:
  Lift technicians at Derwent FM have years of experience working with various lift types from different manufacturers. Our expertise ensures smooth, efficient elevator operation, benefiting academic spaces and PBSA alike.
