Platform Lifts in Windsor
OnLevel — the UK's fastest,
lowest-disruption lift solution
Windsor is one of the most famous towns in England, gathered beneath the walls of Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world and a home of the Royal Family for nearly a thousand years. The Long Walk stretches three miles south into Windsor Great Park, Eton College stands across the Thames, and Wren's old Guildhall, the cobbled streets and the riverside draw visitors from around the globe. An affluent and historic royal town, Windsor blends grand period houses with cottages and Georgian terraces. From castle-quarter cottages to Clewer villas, many Windsor homes have steep staircases.
We install home lifts, commercial platform lifts, wheelchair lifts and through-floor lifts across Windsor — including Eton, Datchet, Old Windsor, Dedworth and Clewer. 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 Windsor
Residential
Home Lift Installation
Windsor housing is historic and sought-after, from the Georgian and Victorian terraces of the streets below the castle to the larger villas of Clewer and the Edwardian and modern houses toward Dedworth and Old Windsor. Many of the older homes are tall and built up close to their neighbours. As mobility changes, the staircase in a tall town house can keep its upper floors out of reach. A home lift from OnLevel lets you keep a Windsor home beneath the castle rather than leave it for somewhere on the level. The Georgian terraces and Clewer villas were never built around a lift shaft, yet our residential model needs only a shallow 150mm pit and no machine room. Tucked into a corner or beside the stair, it gives a town house or a Clewer villa step-free travel between floors with little structural work.

Commercial Platform Lift
Shops, offices and venues across Windsor — from Peascod Street and the Royal Windsor shopping arcades to the castle, the Great Park, the racecourse, the riverside hotels and the restaurants — 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 shops and arcades of Peascod Street, the riverside hotels, tearooms and restaurants, the tourist and racecourse businesses and the offices, and the GP and private clinics, care and nursing homes and consulting rooms around Windsor. 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.

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. In a Windsor Georgian town house or a Clewer villa, it can be finished to respect the age of the home and sit almost unnoticed. Most through-floor installations take three to five days, even in the tall rooms of a Windsor town house. 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 Windsor — from Eton and Datchet to Old Windsor, Dedworth and Clewer — 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 Windsor'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 Windsor
How much does a platform lift cost in Windsor?
A Windsor lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a Georgian town house or a Clewer villa 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 Windsor?
For most Windsor homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The town conservation area below the castle and its many listed 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.
How long does it take to install a platform lift in Windsor?
Three to five days is typical for a Windsor 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 a Georgian Windsor town house?
Yes. The tall Georgian and Victorian town houses below the castle suit a lift well, with the height and the rooms to take one discreetly. It can be placed with care and finished to match the period joinery, with a shallow pit and slim footprint reaching the upper floors with light work.
Is a platform lift better than a stairlift for a Windsor 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 Windsor 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 Windsor area?
Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Windsor lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Eton, Datchet, Old Windsor and Clewer, 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 Windsor 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 Georgian town houses below the castle, where owners would rather adapt than leave a historic home.
Are your Windsor platform lift engineers accredited?
Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Windsor 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.
