Modernisation at Sunderland Marina

Sunderland Marina is situated on the North East coast at the mouth of the river Wear, and offers sailors immediate access to the open sea at all states of tide. Sunderland Marina is uniquely owned and operates alongside a charitable trust which also provides Outdoor Education through its centre ‘Adventure Sunderland’ based on the seafront.

We were recently approached by the facilities manager on site to complete some modernisation works which were essential.

The OTIS lift in the Marina Building had been recently experiencing technical issues and required a complete modernisation. We installed a brand-new control panel, and alongside this, completed a full shaft rewire.

We completed this in just a 7-day turnaround, also installing new COP, new buttons and new door gear to keep it up to date. The newly modernised lift is now in ship-shape condition!

“I just wanted to say thank you for sending the young man to mend my lift,” Linda shared in her review. “I thought it was going to be too old to repair, but he’s done it, so I’m really impressed with his attitude and his work skills. He was very friendly and helpful and has done a good job getting it working again, so thank you and him, he’s a credit to the company.”

"I have enjoyed working with Ascendant lifts and in particular Sam, I have found them to be professional and knowledgeable. The engineers and office staff are always on hand to answer our queries whilst maintaining a good standard of workmanship on what is a very difficult site to manage. The calls for emergencies are always attended to at the earliest opportunity and feedback is communicated in a timely manner to ensure the hospital is compliant and safe for service users, public and staff. Thank you for your hard work and I look forward to building on our relationship."

“To everyone that has been involved in this whole process in the past 2-3 months, thank you and please keep up the amazing work. We in the lift team pride ourselves on having partnerships rather than a client/contractor relationship and it’s very clear to see that if we all operate as partners as we have been doing, any situation can be tackled and overcome.”

“Firstly, I would like to commend all the engineers that work on our lifts. We are fully aware that our stock at times can be quite challenging, and I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to be working very hard on one lift, only to be called to another as an emergency. Given these frustrations, your engineers continue to represent the Ascendant brand perfectly. They are very polite to our staff and residents, something that can be quite tricky seeing as many times. If we can pass this praise onto the engineers in question that would be great, I know from experience that receiving praise can really make a difference in some cases. Keep up the cracking work!".

“The engineer (Kenny) was really helpful and lovely, my lift is fully up and running now. I’m delighted, can’t fault the service”.

"Professional nature, reassurance and fast response / repair time”.

“The whole thing was seamless, you took care of everything and were amazing at keeping me updated! I’m confident I know the warranty and its timeframe and I’m so happy with my new lift”.
