Lifts
We know how essential a lift can be to your everyday life.
At Optivo, we have approximately 1,000 communal lifts and items of lifting equipment and we do everything we can to make sure they are operating the way you need them to work.
We carry out regular inspections and reviews of our lifts to ensure they are working:
- efficiently,
- safely
- and meeting the needs of our residents.
Repairs to lifts
We’re committed to investing in our lifts to ensure our residents have modern, safe and reliable means of moving between floors.
You can read more about our lift refurbishment programme.
If a lift is out of service or has developed a fault, then please report this to us.
In an emergency (e.g. someone is stuck in the lift) please call us on 0800 121 60 60. Our Lift Contractors will respond within one hour of the issue being reported. For non-urgent repairs, our Lift Contractors will attend within four hours.
Report it
Please note: There's currently a global shortage of the parts we need to keep all the lifts working. Our contractors are doing their best to find the right electrical components as quickly as possible to repair any broken lifts or door entry systems.
For more information about our approach to lift management you can read our Passenger Lift and Lifting Equipment Management Plan. This sets out how we manage the risks posed by lifts and lifting equipment in our properties in line with the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER).
