Hi-Tec Lifts are keen on investing in young people. We believe that if you find people with a good attitude and good work ethic, then they will learn and progress. I think we are lucky to have found Andy Followes and Elliot Lake. I also think they are lucky to work alongside Steve and Neil who have over 40 years of lift installation experience between them.

In the photo you can see Steve Bowditch, Neil Duncan, Andy Followes and Elliot Lake – good looking bunch. Steve has been with the company for 15 years and Neil 20 years. They have installed hundreds of lifts in their time at Hi-Tec. Even though we are a small business we are still investing in young people. We currently have two apprentice installers Elliot and Andy who are keen to learn and progress in our business. To have the option to learn from someone like Steve or Neil is great for the young guys.

As a company we think keeping installation in house works better. Our teams can become expert installers on certain products, making install faster but more importantly better quality. We will always outsource our testing as we feel as though this makes sure our teams are doing a good and safe job for our customers.

Hi-Tec also offer the full turn key package for our clients for existing sites and new buildings. We offer the complete lift removal service, associated builders-work and electrical work, as well as the lift replacement. This allows us to be involved from early design phase right through to handover on site. By having one contractor on site, this cuts down on interfacing with other trades, improves communication and ultimately the level of service.

We often get involved in projects early with architects, consultants and clients as we can offer that extra level of service that you sometimes need. We offer budget costs, design, drawings, BREEAM information, traffic calculations, X10 lift specifications and tenders for all types of lifts.

We can meet any lift requirement you may have and are always very competitive on price. So if you have a project with a passenger lift or home lift on then please contact us if we can help at all for any lift repair or modernisation work, we also offer free site surveys and like to be involved from conception to completion. You can get in touch by emailing us at  or telephone us on: 01782 562000

Lift Modernisation Solutions are essentially a big lift repair or replacement of major components. Lift upgrade work is an ideal solution for existing sites and offers clients many benefits over a full lift replacement.

It can also include lift upgrade works to the hydraulics, doors and lift interior too.

Not only does a lift modernisation solutions make your lift more reliable, but it can make it run more efficiently too. You tend to find this outlay pays for itself within a few years due to less breakdowns and costs but also due to less power consumption.

From receipt of an order we can often start on site within two weeks and all work is completed within one week. This gives our customers a fully upgraded lift within three weeks.

All the lift parts and components that we supply are open protocol and we offer a 24 month warranty on work completed.

Some parts on older lifts can become obsolete from manufacturers, so we will advise customers early so they can budget for lift modernisation work in the future.

We have recently handed over a passenger lift in Birmingham for a care home. The main contractor asked us to get involved in this project after the site unfortunately flooded and the existing lift was badly damaged. We removed the lift that was on site and have replaced it with a MRL traction passenger lift – all within 10 weeks. We managed to match in a passenger lift to the existing shaft, pit and available headroom on site.

The client wanted special colours for their passenger liftto match their colour scheme. We supplied the lift with white vinyl patterned walls, grey granite flooring and stainless steel ceiling with spotlights. The doors are finished in stainless steel to match in with the hallway.

The lift shaft was existing but our passenger lift is bespoke but without a big price tag. We managed to fit in a 10 person passenger lift into the existing structure and offered special EN81 compliance. The passenger lift in Birmingham was installed within 3 weeks.

Our installation team had high praise from the tester who said it was “one of the best installations he had ever seen”. Also the main contractor was pleased with our performance saying “your company have helped us from day one and your lads were spot on”. It is always great to get true honest feedback on our company and staff. We must say that the contractor and client have also been great and supportive.

We can meet any lift requirement you may have and are always very competitive on price.
