A professionally executed refurbishment can restore your lift to like-new performance, bring it up to current safety standards, upgrade its appearance, and extend its operational life by a decade or more – at a fraction of the cost of full replacement.
Gartec’s lift refurbishment service covers everything from cosmetic interior upgrades to full mechanical overhauls and control system modernisation. We work with all Gartec and Aritco lift models, and our refurbishment specialists will carry out a thorough condition survey to recommend the most cost-effective approach for your specific situation.
When Refurbishment Is Required
- Increased frequency of breakdowns or call-outs over the past 12–24 months
- Spare parts becoming harder to source for older model variants
- Control system or safety electronics reaching end-of-life
- Lift interior showing significant wear, damage or dated aesthetics
- Changes to building use requiring different load capacity or travel height
- The lift no longer fully meeting current accessibility or safety standards
- Noise levels that have increased noticeably over time
Our Refurbishment Services
The Refurbishment Process
- Initial survey – A Gartec refurbishment specialist visits your site, carries out a full condition assessment, and produces a written report with prioritised recommendations.
- Specification agreement – We work with you to define the scope, agree on finishes and components, and produce a detailed, fixed-price proposal.
- Planning – Works are scheduled to minimise disruption to building users, with clear communication throughout.
- Execution – our specialist refurbishment team carries out all works, with regular progress updates provided.
- Commissioning – Post-refurbishment, the lift is fully commissioned, tested against specification, and subject to a LOLER thorough examination before handover.
- Documentation – You receive full refurbishment records, updated lift documentation, and where applicable, a renewed warranty on refurbished components.
Return on Investment
When compared against the cost of full lift replacement (which typically includes structural works, installation downtime, planning, and significant capital expenditure), a comprehensive refurbishment frequently delivers equivalent performance outcomes at 30–60% of the cost, with significantly less disruption.
