Independent lift engineers

Lift maintenance

Planned maintenance, reliable breakdown support and a clear choice of cover. Tailored to your equipment and your building.

Choose the right maintenance cover

Basic — planned visits, routine checks and reporting. Repairs, parts and extra call-outs are quoted separately. Semi Comprehensive — planned maintenance with agreed breakdown support and selected repair cover. Fully Comprehensive — broader labour and specified parts cover, subject to survey and the written contract. Every proposal states the visit schedule, response arrangements, inclusions and exclusions. HEC maintains passenger, goods, platform and service lifts, escalators, travelators and dumbwaiters across Ireland. Independent statutory thorough examinations are separate from routine maintenance.

Maintenance Contract Options

HEC offers different levels of cover depending on the equipment and the customer’s requirements.

Basic Maintenance

Planned preventative maintenance visits, routine inspections, adjustments and reporting. Repairs, replacement parts and additional call-outs are quoted separately.

Semi-Comprehensive Maintenance

Planned maintenance with an agreed level of breakdown support and selected repair coverage. The precise inclusions are clearly defined in the contract.

Fully Comprehensive Maintenance

A higher level of cover designed to provide greater cost certainty. This may include planned maintenance, breakdown attendance, labour and specified replacement parts, subject to the equipment’s condition and the agreed contract terms.

Following an initial survey, we will recommend the most appropriate level of cover and clearly explain what is included and excluded.

What Does Lift Maintenance Include in Ireland?

A lift or elevator maintenance service typically includes planned inspections, cleaning, lubrication, adjustments, safety checks, fault identification and condition reporting. Depending on the agreed contract, it may also include breakdown attendance, fault diagnosis, emergency communication checks and specified repair or parts cover. HEC defines all inclusions and exclusions before the contract begins.

Changing Your Lift Maintenance Provider

You are not normally required to remain with the company that installed your equipment. HEC can survey the installation, review its maintenance history and prepare a proposal for taking over the contract.

Before commencing, we can identify existing defects, obsolete components and any immediate repairs that may be required. This gives both parties a clear record of the equipment’s condition at the beginning of the agreement.

Does HEC Offer Transparent Pricing for Lift Services in Dublin?

Yes. HEC provides clear, itemised maintenance proposals based on the equipment type, age, condition, usage, operating environment and required level of cover. Each proposal identifies the planned visit schedule, breakdown support, reporting arrangements, inclusions and exclusions so customers can compare the service on a like-for-like basis before proceeding.
