Friendly, local service… nationwide
With a significant number of commercial and industrial buildings in Scotland dating from the mid-20th century (often falling into Grade B and C property classifications), many passenger and goods lifts are reaching or exceeding their 15-to-20-year life expectancy. Consequently, many building owners are now considering, or have already begun, essential lift modernisation.
In the residential sector, Glasgow and the surrounding areas have a significant number of multi story apartment blocks. Again, some buildings date back to the mid-20th century and will already have experienced refurbishment but perhaps have not included a comprehensive lift modernisation. In addition, Glasgow, the economic hub for the area, has become one of the UK’s largest retail districts outside of London. It benefits from the 2.64 million annual (2024) tourist overnight visits to the city, so keeping passenger lifts up to date and working reliably is vital to the hospitality sectors.
For all businesses, public authorities, residential and other sectors where passenger lifts are installed and particularly relating to lifts that are over ten years old, keeping them safe in use and compliant with the latest legislation is essential for both passengers and the building’s facility management team.
Across the UK and throughout Scotland, Jackson lift modernisation engineers undertake a wide range of lift modernisation services, covering traction, hydraulic and mobility access lifts, and routinely modernise and refurbish lifts that are up to 20 years old or even older.

Jackson also provides a reliable and high-quality lift maintenance service undertaken by experienced engineers who all live in Scotland, ensuring a fast and dependable response.
Due to the wide range and type of lifts Jackson modernises, when a request is made for us to estimate for lift modernisation work, one of our Scottish-based Sales Engineers will respond and arrange to visit the site to discuss your requirements and undertake a technical lift survey and condition report. This survey and report are
undertaken to form the basis of our modernisation estimate and subsequent discussions about the proposed work. In instances where a customer has a lift consultant in place, our local sales engineer will always work closely with them to achieve the best long-term lift modernisation solution.
When working in a fully operational building, Jackson local engineers always take extra care to overcome any inconvenience or disturbance to those living in, working at or visiting the building.
We work across all sectors, including but not limited to:
