Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Woodley

A Woodley lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a post-war semi or a modern detached home 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 Woodley homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The exceptions are rare here, mostly the conservation areas toward Sonning and any listed building, where external changes can require consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work begins and handle the building-regulations paperwork for you.

Three to five days is typical for a Woodley 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, and the twentieth-century houses of Woodley usually make it easy. Their even floor heights and a handy hallway or corner let the lift drop in cleanly, on a shallow pit and with no machine room, finished to match. The work involved is generally light.

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 Woodley 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 Woodley lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Earley, Winnersh, Sonning and Twyford, 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. So it slots readily into the tidy layouts of a Woodley semi or detached home.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Woodley 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.
