Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Eton

An Eton lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a tall High Street house or a riverside cottage all shape the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial installation. We survey the property first, then provide a written, no-obligation quotation at no charge.

For most Eton homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The High Street conservation area and the many listed timber-framed and Georgian buildings are the exception, where internal changes to a listed home can also require consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work begins and handle the conservation and listed-building paperwork for you.

Three to five days is typical for an Eton installation. Because the lift arrives factory-built and sits in a shallow 150mm pit, the home avoids the weeks of shaft and masonry work a conventional lift would involve. We agree the timetable with you in advance, so each stage is planned and the completion date is clear from the very start.

Yes. Even a tall, narrow High Street house can usually take a lift, eased in with care and finished to suit the old timber and joinery. A shallow pit and slim footprint reach the upper floors with light work, so the character of the home is kept intact.

It depends on whether a wheelchair has to travel. A stairlift carries a seated rider and leaves the wheelchair below. A platform lift carries the wheelchair or scooter up with the user, between the floors. For an Eton home where a wheelchair is in use, the lift is generally the more capable and longer-lasting choice.

Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Eton lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Eton Wick, Windsor, Datchet and Dorney, and respond quickly should a fault appear. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant.

Very little. The OnLevel lift asks only for a shallow 150mm pit and houses no separate machinery, so a corner of a room or the space beside the staircase is usually enough. That is how it serves the tall High Street houses of the town, where the close old walls leave no room for a conventional shafted lift.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Eton lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard alongside Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. The work is carried out by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and each lift is fully tested, certified and signed off before handover.
