I asked a friend who does do this type of thing for a living and he said no one can answer your question the site needs to be inspected first and the same with the current equipment in place.

But he did say it is much cheaper to keep fixing old then replacing with new which is why so many people do this.

Your best bet it to try few companies get them to have a look but most will want to charge a fee for coming out to take a look mate said it will be few hundred for that

“Company fined over injuries caused by lift doors. Judge agreed it was an open and shut case”

There is actually a company called Schindler that manufactures lifts....

They service our lifts, according to my neighbour who is Treasurer for our Flats (we run our own company) he would happily sack them but they have the spare parts. For now we are tied to them but if we go for a new lift one day I don't think we will choose them.

His main issues are:
- They never respond to his letters / emails / complaints.

- The engineer who services our lifts if he cannot get access to the building marks it down as done rather than them informing us he couldn't get in.

I could go on but we are not impressed.

Schindler's Lifts are famous.

You will find lifts made by Otis in Reading.

Kone make lifts but not traffic Cones.

Showing my age, but when Schindler’s List (after the book Schindler’s Ark) came out, my first thought was of the lift company.

As a trained mechanical engineer, the logical solution would be to strip-out and re-fit a new system in the existing shaft.
Maybe utilising the redundant shaft is also an option.

However, businesses and politics work short-term. No-one wants to spunk a load of Wonga to get a problem sorted properly.

cheap and nasty , all the way

"you've been shafted", seems an appropriate phrase to use
