Preparing Cambridge Lifts for the Digital Landline Switch-Off

The nationwide move away from analogue phone lines towards all-digital services is progressing, with full switch-off expected by 2027. Many existing lift alarm systems in Cambridge still depend on analogue telephone lines for emergency communication.

If your lift alarm uses an analogue line, you could face:

  • Alarm calls failing or becoming unreliable after migration
  • Passengers unable to reach a rescue service during an entrapment
  • Increased safety and compliance risk for duty-holders

We can review your current auto-dialler and communication setup and advise on the most appropriate upgrade path. In most cases, we recommend GSM/4G-based lift alarm systems with integral battery backup, which are designed to:

  • Operate independently of traditional analogue lines
  • Continue to function during local power cuts or network interruptions
  • Support reliable, compliant emergency communication into the future

Alarm upgrades can be coordinated alongside routine maintenance to avoid unnecessary disruption.

LOLER Examinations in Cambridge

Day-to-day servicing must be supported by formal safety checks to meet legal obligations. Under LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998), lifts must undergo periodic thorough examination by a competent person.

For lifts in Cambridge, we can manage the entire process:

  • Planning examinations at the correct intervals
  • Carrying out detailed checks on structural, mechanical and safety-critical components
  • Identifying any deterioration, defects or non-compliance issues
  • Producing formal written reports suitable for your records, insurers and auditors

Where a LOLER report highlights remedial actions, our maintenance team can schedule and complete the required work, ensuring that both safety and documentation remain up to date.

The Importance of Lift Maintenance in Cambridge

Cambridge’s buildings range from historic university sites and scientific facilities to modern accommodation, offices and public spaces. Each of these environments depends on dependable lift performance to keep people, equipment and everyday operations moving efficiently.

Safety & Compliance

Those responsible for building safety in Cambridge must ensure that lifts are cared for properly and inspected at the right intervals. A well-managed maintenance programme, combined with formal LOLER examinations, helps demonstrate compliance and strengthens accountability for safe lift operation.

Reliability for High-Demand Environments

In settings such as laboratories, hospitals, academic buildings and student residences, lift outages can quickly disrupt activity. Routine maintenance helps prevent avoidable stoppages, reduces the risk of entrapments and keeps essential movement flowing throughout the building.

Reduced Long-Term Costs & Asset Protection

Small issues identified early are far simpler and more economical to resolve than major component failures. Proactive servicing extends the operational life of key lift parts, helping building owners manage budgets more effectively and plan future upgrades with confidence.

Enhanced Experience for Lift Users

Smooth operation, accurate levelling and reliable door performance all contribute to the quality of a building. Well-maintained lifts give a positive impression to visitors, tenants, students and staff, while neglected systems often lead to noise, poor ride quality and recurring complaints.
