LOLER examinations slipping through the net
Six-monthly thorough examinations are easy to lose track of across a growing book of installed lifts. Gaffer tracks every due date and prompts you before the deadline, so no lift goes uninspected.

Sound familiar?
The day-to-day headaches stairlift installers tell us about most — and how Gaffer fixes them.
Survey notes and load-test results scattered
Measurements, stair profiles and load-test readings stuck in notebooks, photos and the van. Capture the full survey, installation and commissioning record on site and store it against the lift and customer.
Slow quotes lose the job
Families often get a couple of quotes and pick the one that turns up first. Build a clear stairlift quote from your phone after the survey and get it to the customer the same day.
Everything stairlift installers need in one place
LOLER & compliance records
Survey, installation, commissioning, load-test and thorough examination records completed on site — no re-typing back at the office.
Fast quoting
Saved templates and per-lift pricing so straight-stair and curved-rail quotes go out the same day as the survey.
Scheduling & dispatch
See every engineer's day, avoid double-booking surveys, installs and examinations, and send "on my way" texts automatically.
Invoicing & payments
Turn a signed-off installation into an invoice instantly and take card or Direct Debit to get paid faster.
Service & examination reminders
6-monthly examination or annual service due? Gaffer reminds you and the customer, turning one install into a recurring maintenance contract.

Yes. The Stairlift Installer Trade Pack includes a LOLER Thorough Examination Record alongside commissioning and load-test workflows, so every 6-monthly examination is captured on site and stored against the lift and customer.

Can it remind customers when a 6-monthly examination is due?
Yes. Gaffer tracks service and examination due dates and can automatically remind you and the customer, turning each installed lift into a recurring service contract.
