Maintaining the Sesame lifts

Every Sesame lift comes with a one-year warranty, which includes one standard service six months after installation. We strongly recommend that Sesame also services your DDA lift after the warranty period has expired. British Standards recommends that DDA lifts are serviced every six months by the manufacturer. The engineers who service our DDA lifts are the same engineers who have built and installed our DDA lifts.
