Supplementary lift testing in Kent.
When an examiner asks for further evidence, start with the exact request. Forge Lifts helps Kent lift owners arrange specified tests and document the results.
24/7 emergency call-outs · One-off repairs welcome
Your building. Your equipment.
The right test starts with a clear scope.
Supplementary tests may be requested to investigate a particular component or equipment function more closely. Send the examiner’s wording and full report so we can establish what needs to be assessed.
We review the lift details, available documentation and site arrangements before agreeing the work. Test suitability and any preparatory work depend on the equipment; a single standard package will not suit every installation.
What we can help with.
Prepare the site
Confirm equipment access, isolation arrangements and the effect on building users. A pre-test survey or additional preparation may be needed.
Record the result
Keep the test record with the lift documentation and make it available to the examiner where requested. Any resulting repairs are discussed separately.
From enquiry to next steps.
Our Dartford team supports properties across Kent and Medway. Start with the lift details and the work you need.
Send the examiner’s report
Include the complete request, site postcode, lift make and identification. Tell us about any stated timescale.
Agree the test arrangements
We discuss scope, suitability, preparation and access before confirming attendance.
Review the next action
The test record supports the follow-up discussion. A test does not itself resolve an equipment defect or replace the examiner’s assessment.
Useful to know
Your questions,
answered.
Is supplementary testing the same as LOLER examination?
No. Testing can provide further information for an examiner, but it is separate from the thorough examination itself.
Can testing always go ahead at the first visit?
Not always. The equipment may need a preliminary survey, documentation, preparation or repair before the specified work can proceed.
Do I need a Forge maintenance contract?
You can enquire about supplementary testing without moving your maintenance contract. Share the report and existing arrangements so the work can be coordinated.
