Platform Lifts in Stoke Poges
OnLevel — the UK's fastest,
lowest-disruption lift solution
Stoke Poges is a leafy and affluent village north of Slough, forever linked to Thomas Gray, who wrote his Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard in the churchyard of St Giles here and lies buried beside it beneath a monument by James Wyatt. Close by stands Stoke Park, a Palladian mansion set in Capability Brown parkland with one of the oldest golf courses in England, familiar from the Goldfinger film, and the serene Gardens of Remembrance. From churchyard-lane cottages to parkland villas, many Stoke Poges homes have steep staircases.
We install home lifts, commercial platform lifts, wheelchair lifts and through-floor lifts across Stoke Poges — including Farnham Royal, Farnham Common, Wexham, Fulmer and Stoke Green. 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 Stoke Poges
Residential
Home Lift Installation
Stoke Poges is a place of comfortable, well-spaced homes, from the old cottages near the church and the green lanes to the substantial inter-war and modern houses and the large villas near the park. Some are old and low, many are detached on generous, leafy plots. As mobility changes, a steep staircase can place the upper floors of a fine home beyond easy reach. A home lift from OnLevel keeps a much-loved Stoke Poges home fully usable rather than prompting a move. The old lane cottages and the parkland villas 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 the home. A church-lane cottage or a parkland villa gains step-free travel between floors with little disturbance.

Commercial Platform Lift
Shops, offices and venues across Stoke Poges — from the village shops to St Giles, Stoke Park, the Gardens of Remembrance, the golf clubs and the country 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 shops and the post office, the country pubs, restaurants and hotels, the golf and country clubs and the Stoke Park estate, and the GP and private clinics, care homes and village halls around Stoke Poges. 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. In a Stoke Poges lane cottage or a larger parkland house, it can be set quietly into a corner and finished to suit the home. Most through-floor installations take three to five days, even in the rooms of an old Stoke Poges 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.

At home in any space
Built for Stoke Poges'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 Stoke Poges
How much does a platform lift cost in Stoke Poges?
A Stoke Poges lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of an old lane cottage or a parkland 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 Stoke Poges?
For most Stoke Poges homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The conservation area around St Giles and Stoke Park and the listed 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 Stoke Poges?
Three to five days is typical for a Stoke Poges 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 Stoke Poges cottage?
Yes. Even a low, old lane cottage can usually take a lift, placed with care and finished to match the old brick and timber. The shallow pit and slim footprint reach the floor above with light work, so the character of the home is kept intact.
Is a platform lift better than a stairlift for a Stoke Poges 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 Stoke Poges 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 Stoke Poges area?
Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Stoke Poges lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Farnham Royal, Farnham Common, Wexham and Fulmer, 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 Stoke Poges 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 old cottages near the church, where a traditional shafted lift simply could not be built.
Are your Stoke Poges platform lift engineers accredited?
Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Stoke Poges 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.
