Yet another area, like roofs , where you are going to get ripped off.
Do NOT use a big firm of lift maintenance people as they will invariably tell you that the lift either needs replacing or a major overhaul costing £30,000. Find yourself a small firm of authorised lift people (you need a licence to mess with lifts - quite rightly). With luck they will be able to keep the lift going safely and cheaply.
Never, ever go in a lift in an empty building. I once did this in an empty factory in the middle of nowhere in the middle of Winter. As it started up, I suddenly realised that if it stopped I was going to die there. Nobody knew where I was and it had no alarm system. Fortunately, it kept going and the doors opened.
