Platform Lifts in Hurley
OnLevel — the UK's fastest,
lowest-disruption lift solution
Hurley is a historic and tranquil Thames village between Maidenhead and Marlow, set on one of the loveliest reaches of the river, where islands divide the water above Hurley Lock. The village grew around a Benedictine priory, and fragments of it survive beside the Norman church; Ye Olde Bell, the inn founded as the priory's guesthouse in 1135, claims to be among the oldest in England. The wooded chalk slopes of the Chilterns rise behind, and the riverside draws boaters and walkers all summer. A quiet, well-heeled village, Hurley is much sought after. From timbered cottages to riverside houses, many Hurley homes have steep old staircases.
We install home lifts, commercial platform lifts, wheelchair lifts and through-floor lifts across Hurley — including Burchett's Green, Knowl Hill, Warren Row, Bisham and Medmenham. Every installation is handled by our own SafeContractor accredited engineers (CN8516), usually within three to five days.
Residential & Commercial
Platform lift solutions for every building in Hurley
Residential
Home Lift Installation
Hurley is a village of period homes, the timbered and brick cottages clustered along the High Street and the lane to the church, the larger riverside houses on their grounds toward the lock, and the country houses dotted up the wooded slopes toward Burchett's Green. So many are low and old with tight, winding stairs, while the bigger houses climb to three floors. Once a staircase turns awkward, the rooms above can slip out of everyday use. A home lift from OnLevel allows a Hurley household to remain in a beloved riverside home instead of leaving the village for level ground. These ancient cottages and country houses came centuries before any lift, but our residential model calls for no more than a 150mm pit and dispenses with a machine room entirely. Slipped in by the staircase or in a quiet corner, it joins the floors of a cottage or a river house without heavy building work.

Commercial Platform Lift
Shops, offices and venues across Hurley — from the village to the lock and islands, the priory church, Ye Olde Bell, the inns and the riverside businesses — carry duties under the Equality Act 2010 to provide reasonable access for disabled people. A commercial OnLevel platform lift is often the least disruptive way to meet them. We work with the village inns, hotels and tearooms, the riverside, marina and camping businesses, the country pubs and event venues, and the GP surgeries, care and nursing homes and village halls around Hurley. Tell us about your premises and how people move through them, and we will arrange a survey and a written, no-obligation quotation to match. Our lifts comply with Part M of the Building Regulations, BS 6440:2023 and BS 8300:2018.
Commercial platform lifts in BerkshireThrough Floor
Through Floor Home Lifts
A through-floor lift rises straight between two storeys through a small opening in the ceiling, with no outdoor shaft, no deep digging and no machine room to house. Inside a Hurley timbered cottage or a riverside house, it can be finished in keeping with the old building and kept almost out of sight. Most through-floor installations take three to five days, even in the low, beamed rooms of a Hurley cottage. The factory-built lift is set into a prepared opening and the surround finished to match your interior, so the rest of the home stays in use while our engineers work.

Wheelchair & DDA Access
Wheelchair users across Hurley — from Burchett's Green and Knowl Hill to Warren Row, Bisham and Medmenham — can regain independent movement between floors at home, or step-free entry to commercial premises, with a wheelchair platform lift from OnLevel. We supply vertical platform lifts for full storey-height travel and step lifts for raised entrances. All of our wheelchair lifts are DDA compliant and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

At home in any space
Built for Hurley's most
demanding buildings
From heritage conversions and listed properties to modern new builds, the OnLevel lift slots in where traditional lifts cannot go. The 150mm pit depth, self-supporting structure and bolt-together installation mean it can be retrofitted into existing buildings without major structural work — so you keep the character of the space and still deliver compliant, dignified access.
Whether the setting is a converted warehouse, a period townhouse, or a brand-new commercial fit-out, the lift becomes part of the architecture — not a compromise added after the fact.

FAQs
Platform lift questions for Hurley
How much does a platform lift cost in Hurley?
A Hurley lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a timbered cottage or a riverside house 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.
Do I need planning permission for a home lift in Hurley?
For most Hurley homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The village conservation area, the green-belt setting and the many listed timbered and priory-era 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.
How long does it take to install a platform lift in Hurley?
Three to five days is typical for a Hurley 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.
Can a platform lift be fitted in an old Hurley cottage?
Yes. Even a low, beamed cottage with winding stairs can usually take a lift, eased in with care and finished to suit the old timber and brick. A shallow pit and slim footprint reach the floor above with light work, and the character of the home is kept.
Is a platform lift better than a stairlift for a Hurley home?
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 a Hurley home where a wheelchair is in use, the lift is generally the more capable and longer-lasting choice.
Do you service platform lifts in the Hurley area?
Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Hurley lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Burchett's Green, Knowl Hill, Warren Row and Bisham, and respond quickly should a fault appear. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant.
How much space does a platform lift need in a Hurley home?
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 timbered cottages of the village, where the old beams and low ceilings rule out a conventional shafted lift.
Are your Hurley platform lift engineers accredited?
Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Hurley 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.
