LOLER inspection questions — Oxford
Common questions from care home managers and maintenance leads in the Oxford area.
How often must patient hoists in Oxford care homes be LOLER inspected?
LOLER requires a thorough examination at least every six months for equipment used to lift people, including patient hoists, stand aids, and slings. Some equipment types or environments may require more frequent checks. We advise on the correct frequency when we visit and ensure your certificates remain current.
What does a LOLER thorough examination actually involve?
Our engineer inspects each piece of lifting equipment in detail — checking structural integrity, mechanical condition, controls, slings, and all accessories. We test the equipment under safe conditions, record any defects, and apply compliant pass/fail certification and labelling on the day.
Our CQC inspection is coming up. Will your paperwork help?
Yes. Our thorough examination reports include all the information CQC expects to see: equipment identification, examination date, outcomes, any defects noted, and recommended actions. These records are designed to be audit-ready and clear for non-specialist readers.
Do you cover care homes outside Oxford city in the wider Oxfordshire area?
Yes. We cover Oxford city and the wider county, including Abingdon, Didcot, Wallingford, Witney, Bicester, and Kidlington. If your care home is in Oxfordshire, get in touch and we will confirm we can reach you.
Can you handle both the LOLER inspection and servicing in one visit?
Where possible, yes. Combining a thorough examination with a planned maintenance visit often makes practical sense — it reduces disruption and means your equipment comes away inspected, serviced, and certified. We can discuss the options when you get in touch.
