Our Story
Celebrating 10 years · 2016–2026
Technical Lift Services was founded in 2016 with a simple mission: to provide professional, reliable lift engineering services with a focus on safety and quality. In 2026 we're proud to be celebrating ten years of keeping Southern England's lifts moving.
Based in Dorset, we serve clients across Southern England, from residential buildings to commercial properties, healthcare facilities to industrial sites.
Our team of qualified engineers brings decades of combined experience across all lift types and manufacturers. Engineers are NVQ Level 3 & 4 qualified, with several professionally registered with the Engineering Council (EngTech / IEng) — a benchmark we actively support and fund. We're committed to continuous training and staying current with industry developments.
What sets us apart is our engineer-first approach. When you contact us, you speak directly with technical professionals who understand your equipment and can provide informed advice.

Vetted & Trusted Staff
The safety of your building occupants is a priority. Site-based personnel are DBS checked to the level legally available and appropriate for their role and working environment. Enhanced or barred-list checks are only undertaken and stated where the role is eligible.
Where we work in sensitive environments — such as schools, care homes, hospitals or residential buildings — we match the level of vetting to the requirements of that setting and the eligibility of the role.
We keep vetting records current as part of our commitment to providing a safe, trustworthy service. If your site has specific vetting requirements, let us know and we will confirm what we can provide before attendance.
Our Vetting Standards
- DBS checks — to the level legally available and appropriate for the role and working environment
- Role-based eligibility — Enhanced or barred-list checks only where the role is eligible
- Site-specific requirements — matched to the setting, confirmed with you before attendance where needed
- Ongoing compliance — vetting records kept current and reviewed regularly
Our ethos
How we work, in three words.
We don't play hard-sell games or hide behind contracts. Our approach is built on a simple promise to every client we work with.
Open.
Transparent quotes, honest reports and direct answers — even when the answer is “you don't need this work doing yet.” You see what we see, in plain language.
Predictive maintenance.
We track wear, fault history and component life across every site so problems get caught on a planned visit — not at 2am with the lift between floors.
Genuine investment in your assets.
Your lifts are long-life assets, not a recurring callout fee. We protect their life-cycle with the right parts, the right time, the right people — so the equipment outlasts the contract.
Our Values
These principles guide everything we do, from how we train our engineers to how we deliver service to our clients.
Safety First
Safety is at the heart of everything we do. We never compromise on safety standards, and every engineer is trained to the highest level.
Engineer-Led
We're a team of engineers, not salespeople. You'll deal directly with qualified professionals who understand your lift systems.
Documentation Quality
Thorough documentation isn't an afterthought - it's essential for compliance and helps you manage your lift assets effectively.
Technical Excellence
NVQ Level 3 & 4 qualified engineers — several professionally registered with the Engineering Council (EngTech / IEng) — backed by manufacturer training and ongoing CPD.
Quality Commitment
We take pride in our work and stand behind every job we complete. Your satisfaction and safety are our priorities.
Customer Focus
We build long-term relationships with our clients, understanding their needs and providing consistent, reliable service.

Official Certifications
Our ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications are issued by a UKAS-accredited certification body. The scope of that accreditation is limited to the activities described on the certification body's schedule of accreditation (PDF).
ISO Certifications via a UKAS-Accredited Body
We are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 by a certification body that is itself accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). To be clear, it is our certification body — not Technical Lift Services — that holds UKAS accreditation.
The UKAS “crown and tick” symbol on our certificates signifies that our certification body is technically competent, impartial, and operates to recognised standards. This provides confidence that our management systems have been assessed against rigorous, internationally recognised criteria.
Because UKAS is a signatory to International Accreditation Forum (IAF) arrangements, certificates issued under its accreditation are recognised internationally — demonstrating our commitment to quality, environmental responsibility, and occupational health and safety.
Schedule 18 Certification
We are certified under Schedule 18 of the UK Lifts Regulations 2016, which sets out the quality assurance requirements for lift installers operating in Great Britain.
This certification confirms that we operate approved quality systems covering all stages from design through to final inspection and testing, ensuring lifts meet essential health and safety requirements.
Schedule 18 certification enables us to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements and confirms our technical competence in the installation and maintenance of lift systems to the highest safety standards.
