Complii, one of the UK’s leading providers of building safety and regulatory compliance services, announced the acquisition of The Escalator Company, a specialist in escalator, lift and travelator servicing, maintenance, refurbishment and installation. Based in Rochester, Kent, The Escalator Company brings over two decades of experience and a strong reputation for engineering excellence to Complii.
The acquisition further builds out Complii’s dedicated Lifts and Escalators division, which was established to deliver specialist building compliance services across the full range of vertical and horizontal transportation equipment. With The Escalator Company now part of the Group, Complii is uniquely positioned to offer clients a genuinely end-to-end Lifts and Escalators compliance service, covering everything from planned preventative maintenance and reactive repairs to full refurbishment, new installation, and escalator spare parts supply.
The Escalator Company was founded in 2002 as a family business and has grown into one of the UK’s most respected names in the sector. The business has worked across all major manufacturers’ equipment and has built a strong track record of prioritising refurbishment and upgrade over replacement - an approach that aligns closely with Complii’s commitment to delivering practical, cost-effective compliance outcomes for clients.
The acquisition further enhances Complii’s position as the UK’s most comprehensive building compliance partner. Building owners and managers can now access an even more integrated suite of compliance services - spanning water, air, fire, electrical, lifts and escalators - through a single, trusted partner.
