Lift Servicing & Maintenance in Bedford

The UK’s move from traditional analogue phone lines to all-digital voice services is progressing, with full switch-off expected by 2027. Many existing lift alarm systems still rely on analogue telephone lines to make emergency calls from the lift car.

For duty-holders in Bedford, this creates three key risks:

• Alarm calls may fail once analogue lines are withdrawn
• Passengers could be unable to contact help during an entrapment
• Buildings may no longer meet expected safety and compliance standards

We can review your current alarm configuration and advise on suitable upgrade options. In most cases, we recommend GSM/4G auto-dialler solutions with integrated battery backup, which:

• Operate independently of traditional analogue lines
• Are designed to continue working during local power cuts or network issues
• Support reliable, compliant emergency communication over the long term

These upgrades can be scheduled as part of your maintenance plan to minimise disruption.

If you are experiencing repeated faults, slow response times or limited communication from your current contractor, it may be time to consider an alternative approach.
