LOLER inspection questions — Reading
Common questions from care home managers and maintenance leads in the Reading area.
How often do patient hoists need a LOLER inspection in Reading care homes?
LOLER requires thorough examinations at least every 6 months for equipment used to lift people. CQC inspectors routinely check that certificates are current and documentation is in order. We provide the paperwork you need to pass with confidence.
Do you cover care homes across the whole Reading area?
Yes — we cover Reading and all surrounding areas including Caversham, Woodley, Earley, Tilehurst, Wokingham, Bracknell, Maidenhead, Newbury, and Henley-on-Thames. We also cover further into Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, Surrey, and Buckinghamshire.
Can you fit around residents and care home routines?
Absolutely. We schedule visits to minimise disruption to your residents and staff, and our engineers are trained in safeguarding and infection control. We work quietly and efficiently in care environments.
What documentation do we get after the inspection?
You receive a thorough examination report for each piece of equipment inspected, including clear pass/fail outcomes, equipment identification, any defects noted, and recommended next steps. Equipment is tagged on-site. Reports are suitable for CQC audit files.
