At TJ Lift Solutions, we specialise in providing safe, reliable, and compliant lift solutions for educational environments across the UK. From primary schools and secondary schools to colleges, universities, and specialist learning centres, we understand the unique challenges these settings present and offer tailored lift systems to meet the needs of students, staff, and visitors alike.
Our lift installations, servicing, and maintenance plans are designed to support accessibility, safety, and efficiency—ensuring that vertical transport systems in educational buildings remain fully operational, compliant with current regulations, and fit for purpose.
Supporting Accessibility and Inclusion
Educational settings must be inclusive and accessible to all. That’s why we offer a wide range of DDA-compliant lifts and Equality Act-ready solutions to help schools and colleges provide barrier-free access to all areas of the building.
Whether you’re retrofitting an existing site or incorporating lifts into a new development, we provide expert advice on the best systems for your layout, usage demands, and available space.
Our lift solutions for schools and universities include:
Compliant, Safe and Future-Ready
Every lift installation in an educational environment must meet strict health and safety requirements. All of our lift systems are fully compliant with relevant UK regulations, including BS EN 81, BS 9999, Part M Building Regulations, and LOLER standards.
Safety is our top priority. We ensure that all school lifts include features such as emergency alarms, child-safe controls, hold-to-run functions (where required), and anti-vandal finishes where appropriate.
We also offer expert consultancy to help schools meet their safeguarding, risk assessment, and accessibility audit obligations.
Bespoke Solutions for Every Educational Setting
Each educational site is different, and our team works closely with headteachers, facilities managers, local authorities, architects, and school business managers to provide lift systems that are durable, energy-efficient, and easy to use.
Whether it’s a discreet platform lift for a listed primary school building, a heavy-duty passenger lift for a busy secondary school, or a panoramic glass lift for a modern university campus, our solutions are tailored to your environment and users.
