Non-comprehensive — what it covers
- •Scheduled visits — labour and call-outs
- •Routine inspection and safety checks
- •Lubrication, cleaning and adjustment
- •Minor consumables (oil, grease)
Cheaper upfront, but spare parts are billed separately — a single controller or rope replacement can dwarf a year's premium.
Comprehensive — what it adds
- •Everything in non-comprehensive, plus
- •Most spare parts and components
- •Replacement of worn ropes, rollers, contacts
- •Controller and drive electronics cover
Costs ~65% more, but caps your downside — predictable spend and most parts included. Worth it for older lifts and high-usage homes.
Common exclusions (both contract types)
×Damage from misuse, flooding or power surges
×Civil or shaft works and cosmetic interiors
×Vandalism, accidents and force-majeure events
×Statutory licence and inspection fees
Always read the exclusions clause — many disputes are over what counts as misuse versus wear and tear.
