Escalators are a vital part of many commercial and public environments, helping large numbers of people move safely and efficiently between floors every day. As equipment ages, however, reliability can decline, components can become increasingly difficult to source and maintenance requirements may begin to increase. At Total Escalators, we provide professional escalator modernisation services across the UK, helping businesses extend the useful life of existing systems and improve their overall performance.

With more than 50 years of industry experience, our team has the knowledge required to work with a wide range of escalator systems. We support customers throughout the UK and Ireland and work with equipment from leading manufacturers including Kone, Thyssen, Otis and Schindler.

Professional Escalator Modernisation

Modernisation can provide a practical alternative to completely replacing an existing escalator. Rather than removing a complete system that may still have many serviceable elements, modernisation allows ageing or problematic components to be addressed as part of a planned programme of work.

Every escalator and every site is different, which is why we approach modernisation projects according to the condition of the existing equipment and the requirements of the customer. Our experienced team can assess the escalator, identify areas requiring attention and help determine an appropriate way forward.

This allows work to be planned around the needs of the building and its users while concentrating investment on the areas of the system where improvements are most beneficial.

Modernising Existing Escalator Systems

An older escalator does not necessarily need to be replaced simply because individual parts have become worn, outdated or unreliable. Modernisation can help retain the existing installation while dealing with components that are contributing to maintenance issues or reduced reliability.

We can work with existing escalator systems from major manufacturers and provide access to parts alongside our repair, servicing and maintenance capabilities. This gives our customers a single experienced team to support an escalator throughout its working life.

Where further work is required alongside a modernisation project, Total Escalators can also provide escalator refurbishment, repairs, handrail renewals, servicing and maintenance.

Escalator Modernisation for Commercial and Public Buildings

We work with escalators operating in a wide variety of private and public environments. In buildings where escalators form an important part of everyday pedestrian movement, reliability is particularly important. Unplanned downtime can inconvenience customers, visitors, tenants and staff and place additional pressure on other routes through the building.

Our aim is to provide a practical modernisation solution that takes the operating requirements of the site into account. We understand the importance of working carefully and efficiently, particularly in busy environments where disruption needs to be managed effectively.

Supporting Your Escalators Beyond Modernisation

Modernisation is only one part of maintaining an escalator throughout its operational life. Once improvement work has been completed, appropriate ongoing servicing can help identify developing issues, reduce avoidable breakdowns and keep equipment operating effectively.

Total Escalators provides nationwide service and maintenance support as well as parts and repairs. Should an urgent problem occur, we also provide a responsive 24-hour emergency call out service.

By combining modernisation with ongoing maintenance and repair expertise, we can provide continuity from the initial assessment of an ageing escalator through to its future servicing requirements.
