Lift Installations for The Royal Academy of Arts In London

A couple of years back, the Tower Lifts team proudly announced its inclusion in a major project at the Royal Academy of Arts, at Burlington House in London. As of right now, we’re even prouder to say we’re officially on the job and producing incredible results in this historic building.

We’re installing two lifts in this London landmark – the first of which being a two-stop passenger lift with a 2000kg capacity, finished as per the architect’s design and with both reduced headroom and pit. The second lift is needed for moving art over 4 floors, which has a 4000kg capacity and an extra-large cabin with special doors measuring 2.5m high.

As with all historic structures, the building at the Royal Academy of Arts posed its own unique set of challenges and restrictions. With more than 15 years’ experience and expertise, we know exactly what it takes to get the job done – creativity, innovation and uncompromising commitment to quality.

The Royal Academy of Arts

Situated right in the heart of the capital, the Royal Academy of Arts was founded to generate and promote greater interest in and awareness of art. The institution has been housed in the same building for more than 100 years, occupying a prime plot on Piccadilly. Built in the 17th century, our job was to install a cutting-edge lift that would in no way affect the beauty or history of the building’s interiors.

Important buildings like Burlington House represent some of the most challenging environments in which to work. Often featuring non-standard shapes, layouts and general specifications, these aren’t the kinds of buildings that were designed with cutting-edge lift systems in mind. But in order to meet with modern building regulations and disability legislation, comprehensive and seamless access to all key levels must be provided.

Here at Tower Lifts, challenging buildings and demanding projects are our specialty. Over the past 15 years, we’ve put our experience and expertise to work in historic, listed and important buildings of all shapes and sizes. Even when restrictive space rules out traditional elevators, you can count on Tower Lifts to get the job done.

Custom Solutions of Quality

The Royal Academy of Arts chose to hire the Tower Lifts team on the back of our reputation and the recommendations out past customers. We ensure that every client is provided with a 100% bespoke solution, crafted from the ground up to meet their requirements, expectations and budgets. We excel where others would simply be unable to deliver the required result. Whatever it takes, we’re here to make it happen.

We can also be counted on to minimise disruption, maximise the efficiency of the installation process and provide our committed support, every step of the way. From initial design consultancy to installation to long-term aftercare and periodic maintenance, the Tower Lifts team covers all requirements under one roof.

Shining the Spotlight on Lift Refurbishment in London

Lift Refurbishment in London

Whilst providing a lift refurbishment in London isn’t the most glamorous aspect of the work we do at Tower Lifts, we consider it to be one of the most important, and rewarding, services that we offer. Vertical passenger transport has been around for well over a century now, and many of the lifts that our engineers are called out to assess for refurbishment were installed as an original feature in buildings that were erected decades ago. Many of these lifts are still in working order but have become unreliable, noisy and slow; the Tower Lifts team are always delighted to be able to offer a range of solutions that will restore the transport to full working order, with the option to retain original features that have made it part of the fabric of the building for residents.

A Lift Refurbishment in London Enhances Performance

Even a lift that has been well maintained will begin to show wear and tear in its components with the passing of time. Our highly skilled engineers will always offer a detailed diagnosis of the faults – both immediate and imminent – which will need to be attended to. A lift upgrade in London will provide a schedule of work which repairs and replaces faulty and aged components with the aim of providing excellent transport performance for the building’s residents.

Safety Features are Integral to a Lift Refurbishment in London

Tower Lifts takes safety very seriously, and we invest in ongoing training for our engineers and installers. A lift upgrade in London will include a comprehensive survey of the safety features required in order to meet current regulations. We will also discuss a range of options that offer full accessibility for residents, in order that the standards set by the Disability Discrimination Act are fully met.

A Lift Refurbishment in London Improves Transport Appearance

Whilst concerns over lift performance, safety and accessibility will always be foremost, many of our clients are also keen to improve the appearance of their transport. Over years of use the doors, surround, and passenger cab can begin to look rather worn – and this can lead to an air of dilapidation at the heart of the host building. A lift upgrade in London will usually include an element of aesthetic enhancement and our installers are experienced in understanding clients’ requirements and finding the solutions that will meet them.

We have worked with numerous clients in London on lift refurbishments, and their feedback has always been highly complementary with regards to the detailed and attentive service they have received, and the solutions Tower Lifts have been able to provide. Most important, we receive regular reports of the ways in which our refurbished lifts have added value to the buildings in which they are installed, and to the lives of residents who have come to rely upon them.

If you have a lift installed which requires maintenance or servicing, we have a team of experts ready and willing to keep your lift working safely and efficiently

If you would like a call from one of our team regarding Lift modernisation in London, please contact us today on 01525 601099 or by email: info@tower-lifts.co.uk

In addition to Lift refurbishment, we also supply and install a varied range of lifts throughout the UK including:

Domestic Lifts • Food Lifts • Bespoke Platform Lifts • Service Lifts • Platform Lifts • Goods Lifts • Scenic Lifts • Heavy Duty / Car Lifts • Passenger Lifts • Dumbwaiter Lifts • MRL Lifts • Fire lifts • Residential Lifts • low-Headroom Lifts

Tower Lifts to Install EN81-72 Firefighter Lift in London

EN81-72 Firefighter Lift in London

Tower Lifts are delighted to have been awarded the contract to fit two passenger lifts at Sutton Court, Sutton in London. This twelve-storey apartment block is situated just five minutes from Sutton town centre and provides a perfect location for commuters working in central London as it provides easy access to the City in around thirty minutes. Our lift engineers in London will be installing a standard passenger lift alongside an EN81-72 Firefighter lift to provide access to all floors.

Why an EN81-72 Firefighter Lift is Necessary for Apartment Blocks

In order to protect and ensure the safety of residents living in apartment blocks, firefighter lifts are installed in order to:

Allow firefighters to reach the source of the fire.
Access floors where residents of the building may be trapped.
Maintain mobility for the fire services when stairs may be being used for evacuation.
Restrict resident use of the lift for evacuation as this may place them in further danger.

Our lift engineers in London choose the EN81-72 Firefighter lift to install in apartment blocks because it meets all current specifications, and provides an excellent safeguard for residents. The lift includes a trapdoor providing access into the lift shaft, and the controls are especially protected against water. Most important, the lift can be controlled by firefighters in the case of a fire, ensuring that lift traffic is restricted to the fire-services.

Choose a Lift Company in London with a Reputation for Excellence

It’s not worth taking a risk when it comes to passenger safety – which is why Tower Lifts is the first choice lift company in London for so many of our clients. We believe that our lifts provide the safest and most efficient vertical transport for passengers – because we take care to ensure passengers safety every step of the way. Our lift engineers in London are highly qualified installers who receive consistently excellent feedback on their work. Every lift we install is the product of over a decade of experience – and we won’t walk away from a job until we’re satisfied that it meets our – very high – standards of completion.

Maintaining Your EN81-72 Firefighter Lift

Once your lift is installed you are required to maintain and service it in order to ensure its readiness in case of an emergency. For Tower Lifts this is all part of the comprehensive service we offer and our lift engineers in London will be happy to discuss with you our maintenance and service plan for ongoing safety and peace of mind.

If you have a firefighter lift installed which requires maintenance or servicing, we have a team of experts ready and willing to keep your lift working safely and efficiently
