Testimonials
Mike is an exceptional professional who takes his job seriously. He is always punctual, reliable, and ensures that no inspection ever goes overdue. If he misses a call, he calls back promptly, and his dedication to compliance is second to none.
There was even a time when, finding lift engineers still working during his visit, Mike offered to return that same afternoon- or the next day if needed- just to make sure the inspection was completed on time.
His commitment, attention to detail, and proactive attitude give us complete confidence in his work.

Mike carried out the LOLER inspections on the lifts at our King’s Wardrobe location for a number of years. He was professional from the start but also really friendly and easy to work with.
He took the time to explain everything clearly and made the whole process straightforward.
I’d happily recommend Mike to anyone looking for a reliable and personable service.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Michael Wheeldon
My name is Happiers Simbo chief engineer at the Westin London City hotel. I have worked as hotel chief engineer or director of engineering in different parts of the world. I have known Michael Wheeldon for the past 4 years as he carried out his duties of ensuring our lift statutory compliance for Allianz at the Westin London City hotel.
Michael is a highly skilled lift inspection engineer who assisted the Westin London City hotel to achieve necessary compliance from the time soon after commissioning of the lifts to the present. He assisted in highlighting important operational issues with the lifts after commissioning which led to the lift maintenance company rectifying them all the required areas. This has led to the hotel running a very highly efficient lift service.
Besides being highly skilled Michael has very high work ethics required for an engineer carrying out the work he does. He is a good communicator which assist him to establish great relationships with his clients.
I personally highly recommend him to any prospective clients.

His inspections were always thorough, professional, and clearly communicated, giving us confidence that our equipment was in safe hands. Mike consistently went above and beyond to ensure minimal disruption and provide helpful advice where needed. I’d have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable inspection professional.

We have had the pleasure to know Mike since early 2023. Mike is the consummate professional when it comes to vertical statutory inspection. His dedication and knowledge to provide unbiased and meaningful reporting on every aspect of vertical transportation is outstanding, more importantly he manages to explain the intricacy of any technical aspect in a pragmatic and logical technique which helps tremendously for people that may not be too abreast of technological terminologies.

I have had the pleasure of working with Michael Wheeldon for over two years as an Engineer Surveyor previously for Allianz at Thames Court, 1 Queenhithe, London EC4V 3DX. During this time, Michael has been responsible for carrying out inspections on the lifts and cradle systems.
Michael is a highly proactive, articulate, and skilled survey engineer with a wealth of knowledge in his field. He is not only reliable and efficient but also goes above and beyond to engage with clients, offer assistance, and address any queries to ensure their satisfaction. His dedication and expertise have made him an invaluable asset to our team, and his absence at Thames Court is deeply felt.
I would recommend Michael without any hesitation for any future roles or opportunities. His professionalism and technical proficiency speak for themselves.

Assistant Building Manager, Thames Court, London, EC4V
Mike inspected our lifts and cradles for around three years. His service was consistently exceptional—prompt, professional, and practical. He’s helped us at short notice more than once, and his reports are clear, informative and actionable. Where safe and possible, Mike would advise on how to rectify issues there and then; if not, he’d put the lift out of service in a safe, controlled way and set out next steps. I first met Mike early in my career and he took the time to explain the systems and fault causes in detail, which genuinely helped my development. I’d recommend him without hesitation.
