Platform Lifts in Marlow
OnLevel — the UK's fastest,
lowest-disruption lift solution
Marlow is one of the most desirable towns on the Thames, where William Tierney Clark's elegant suspension bridge, the model for the great chain bridge in Budapest, carries the road across the river beside the spire of All Saints. The Compleat Angler hotel looks over the weir, the regatta and a famous rowing club have produced Olympic champions, and Higginson Park runs down to the water. Shelley wrote here, and the Georgian High Street remains one of the finest in the county. From riverside cottages to Georgian town houses, many Marlow homes have steep staircases.
We install home lifts, commercial platform lifts, wheelchair lifts and through-floor lifts across Marlow — including Bisham, Little Marlow, Marlow Bottom, Medmenham and Hurley. 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 Marlow
Residential
Home Lift Installation
Marlow housing is highly sought after, from the Georgian town houses and riverside cottages of the centre to the Victorian and Edwardian villas of the leafy roads and the large modern homes of Marlow Bottom. Many are tall, period properties of two or three storeys. As mobility changes, the staircase in a fine town or riverside house can keep its upper floors out of reach. A home lift from OnLevel keeps a treasured Marlow home fully usable rather than forcing a move from the river. The Georgian houses of the High Street and the cottages by the Thames were never built around a shaft, yet our residential model needs only a shallow 150mm pit and no machine room, and can be finished to suit a period interior. A High Street town house or a riverside cottage gains step-free travel between floors with little disturbance.

Commercial Platform Lift
Shops, offices and venues across Marlow — from the High Street and the Causeway to the suspension bridge, All Saints, Higginson Park, 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 boutiques, galleries and delis of the High Street, the riverside hotels, restaurants and the town's renowned dining rooms, the rowing club and the offices, and the GP and private clinics, care homes and village halls around Marlow. 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 BuckinghamshireThrough 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. Set into a Marlow Georgian house or a Thames-side cottage, it can be finished to honour the period and goes almost unnoticed. Most through-floor installations take three to five days, even in the tall rooms of a Marlow Georgian 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 Marlow — from Bisham and Little Marlow to Marlow Bottom, Medmenham and Hurley — 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 Marlow'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 Marlow
How much does a platform lift cost in Marlow?
A Marlow lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a tall Georgian town 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.
Do I need planning permission for a home lift in Marlow?
For most Marlow homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The town conservation area and its listed Georgian buildings near the bridge 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 Marlow?
Three to five days is typical for a Marlow 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 Marlow house?
Yes. The tall Georgian and Victorian houses of Marlow have the height and proportions to take a lift with ease, placed out of the way and faced to match the period rooms. A shallow pit and slim footprint reach the floor above with light work.
Is a platform lift better than a stairlift for a Marlow 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 Marlow 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 Marlow area?
Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Marlow lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Bisham, Little Marlow, Marlow Bottom and Medmenham, 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 Marlow home?
Very little. The OnLevel lift asks only for a shallow 150mm pit and houses no separate machinery, so a corner of a reception room or the space beside the staircase is usually enough. That is how it serves the Georgian houses by the bridge, where owners would sooner adapt than give up a home on the Thames.
Are your Marlow platform lift engineers accredited?
Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Marlow 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.
