Lift pit alterations, concrete thresholds, infills and tanking. We prepare the building to the lift contractor’s dimensions, levels and installation requirements.
Preparing the pit and landings
Check dimensions, levels and condition.

We agree the work, materials and curing time with the lift contractor so the pit and landings are ready for the next stage.
