We build around lifts.
Oracle Builders delivers the specialist building work that lift contractors need before, during and after installation or modernisation—safely coordinated, professionally finished and properly documented across the UK.
One building partner around the lift.
From secure hoardings and structural alterations to final making good, we coordinate the construction package around the lift contractor’s programme. Clear RAMS, tidy working areas and dependable communication come as standard.
Fire-rated hoardings & protection
Secure landing hoardings, controlled access, secondary fall protection, signage and floor protection for live projects.
Shaft & entrance alterations
Formation and adjustment of lift openings, blockwork, stud walls, lintels, cutting and associated structural builders’ work.
Pits, thresholds & waterproofing
Pit alterations, infills, concrete thresholds, tanking and preparation to support new or replacement lift equipment.
Fire stopping & compartmentation
Installation around lift entrances, service penetrations and shaft interfaces using specified systems and recorded handovers.
Making good & finishes
Plastering, carpentry, skirtings, decoration, trims and final finishes around newly installed landing doors.
Installation support
Strip-out assistance, lift-car driving support, shaft cleaning, painting and responsive construction attendance.
Practical support. Proper control.
We understand that lift programmes depend on the surrounding building work being ready at the right time. Our process is built around coordination, site safety and a clean handover.
Survey & scope
Review site conditions, interfaces, access and the lift contractor’s requirements.
Plan & protect
Agree RAMS, sequencing, working areas and protection for building users.
Deliver & coordinate

Finish & hand over
Complete making good, quality checks and project records ready for sign-off.
Quality building work, closer to home.
Alongside our specialist lift work, Oracle Builders continues to deliver selected domestic improvements across Minehead, West Somerset and the surrounding South West.
Built on craft.
Run with care.
Oracle Builders Ltd is led by Dominic Smale, a construction professional with experience from hands-on carpentry through to Level 6 construction management. We combine traditional workmanship with the planning, documentation and communication expected on modern commercial sites.
Whether supporting a complex lift replacement or improving a family home, the standard is the same: understand the job, protect the site, do the work properly and leave a finish everyone can be proud of.
Let’s build the right package around your project.
