Established in 2000, SLS has evolved into a specialist designer, supplier and installer of all types of lifts and vertical transportation.

We provide architects, developers, building owners/occupiers and contractors with a one-stop-shop for a vast variety of lifts. These range from simple dumbwaiters and access hoists through to high spec, high speed, state of the art lifts, found in some of London's finest 5* hotels. In short, we provide vertical transportation solutions across all levels that satisfy the most discerning of clients and consultants.

We have a track record of exceeding our customers expectations through our core principle of never compromising on quality. Our client care and the long-term reliability of our lifts differentiate us from the competition and have ensured repeat business with our key clients throughout the past decade.

Each project is undertaken by a specialist team of designers and engineers who have the level of experience within the industry to deliver to expectations. Each client has a Director as a point of contact, thus ensuring a consistent level of client care throughout every project.

Sustainability and Green Technology are an integral part of SLS's design approach; we provide our clients with practical advice and solutions to reduce the environmental impact on their buildings, thus helping to reduce building costs significantly in the long term.

As a dedicated vertical transportation specialist, we offer a comprehensive range of services. Being entirely independent affords us the opportunity to offer unbiased, knowledge based consultation services as well as practical solutions to overcome seemingly insurmountable problems.

Our state of the art 3D modelling software can produce photo-realistic rendered images of your project directly from the 'drawing board', which can then be introduced into the architectural design. Innovative lighting and progressive use of finishes allow the widest array of visual options.

This allows the client and designers to experiment with colours and finishes to ensure that the finished project is precisely what the client has in mind.

From our experience, the early involvement of SLS in the collaborative design process from the planning stage onwards has proved most beneficial to our clients. You will benefit from our experience to be able to predict problem issues before they can become a problem. Then, using our vast library of data and advanced industry knowledge, we will advise on all areas of the lift installation including fire control, acoustic engineering, disabled access, sustainability, vibration and integrate them all into the elevator design.
After wages, real estate is often the most costly outgoing for any business. At SLS we recognise the significant capital outlay that is required when investing in lifts, and in the backdrop of the financial crisis, it is more imperative than ever that clients get best value from their existing lifts.

This means higher demands on the level of efficiency in addition to reduced down-time while works are being carried out, especially where lifts are business critical (data centres, hotels etc). We provide detailed surveys and reports which access the true potential of existing lifts compared with the options for refurbishment. This helps to increase the efficiency of operation of existing lifts and to extend their operating life.

SLS has an exemplary track record in providing enhanced value solutions.

Specialist Lift Services offer a comprehensive suite of maintenance agreements. Naturally we offer standard, premium and comprehensive contracts, but these can be altered to precisely suit your requirements. As a measure of our forward planning each lift is provided with a pre-planned rota of works for 3 years at the outset of the agreement between us. This is a clear example of our commitment to you and your elevators.

Without regular servicing some components can be exposed to an unacceptably high probability of sudden, unplanned failure; at best this is an inconvenience, at worst, for business critical lifts, it can be a disaster. Let our enthusiastic team, backed up by experienced, proficient managers, take care of your lifts and their precious cargo – your own team.

We realise that our team is often a reflection of your own. That's why all of our field staff wear smart, practical uniforms and are fully trained. We will always take account of feedback from site as this is often the best way to confirm what we are being told by the lift fault logger systems.

Staff training includes legislation, health and safety and product updates so that we remain well informed.

Our company vehicles carry a wide range of spares that should be able to cope with most stoppages, but for those that are beyond our immediate control, we have access to all makes of lift and control system spares. In some instances, with older lifts for instance, some components have become obsolete. Our huge depth of experience means that we are able to provide modern components and integrate them into old controllers while decisions are made as to long term viability of parts.

At Specialist Lift Services we provide an entirely independent lift design service which means that our choice of materials, components and 'design' layout is solely focused on the project requirements. Being free of the constraints of a narrow lift catalogue or brochure allows us to base our design on your project requirements first and foremost; efficiency of design before cost.

Our record shows that we deliver a client based, responsive solution that ensures an efficient scheme uniquely designed for each project. We encourage our clients to consult with us at the earliest possible opportunity as our wealth of experience assists in producing a sustainable, flexible solution in the best possible time frame and our past jobs portfolio is evidence that we take the greatest care to ensure the best, and most effective use of project resources.

Active project management is the simplest way to ensure that any problems are dealt with promptly. We know that this is an area in which we excel and its proof is all too evident by the positive feedback we get from client and project managers alike. You will not be surprised to learn that on-site supervision of our proficient, enthusiastic workforce is closely monitored, and thereby we ensure best practice combines smoothly with ambition and hard work to produce results that we are proud of.

The lift interior is a completely blank canvas onto which a combination of materials only limited by your imagination can be applied. Materials can be selected to integrate or contrast with the lifts surrounding decor or to provide durability in high usage applications.

Fittings such as lights, handrails and push buttons can all be selected to further enhance the required aesthetic whilst still complying with the requirements of standards such as the Equality Act 2010 (which replaced the Disability Discrimination Act 1995).

Designing a lift is more than making a box to go up and down. The lift needs to blend in with the surrounding architecture or stand out to make a statement, understanding the client brief and ensuring it meets the required effect.

At Specialist Lift Services we understand the building process clearly, and thereby appreciate that architects require accurate information early in the design process.  We are happy to provide details and information that allows architects and designers to progress their designs.

We can confirm that a given lift will comply with specification or regulation criteria using our extensive knowledge base.

This allows you the freedom to concentrate on the rest of the building, or the information that will drive the required decision.

Having spent many productive hours in design meetings over many years we are able to offer our extensive consultative archive.

We provide sizes and specifications for lifts at this early stage that will be included in the design in which you can have full confidence. We design elevators that fit to your building and are not constrained to brochure specifications.

As an entirely independent, privately owned Lift Company, we owe no allegiance to any supplier or manufacturer. This leaves us free to choose the most appropriate components for any works that we undertake. Our strong position in the marketplace gives us the freedom of opinions based solely on our experienced based knowledge. Our inventive approach to unusual projects, combined with a thorough understanding of our shared industry, leads to SLS providing solutions in situations where some of our competitors would tell you there are none!
