Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Cambourne

The cost depends on the type of lift, the number of floors it serves and the layout of your particular home or premises. A through-floor lift in a townhouse and a multi-floor commercial lift on the business park sit at different price points. We provide a written quotation with no hidden extras, so contact us for an accurate figure for your Cambourne home or business.

In most cases, no. A domestic platform lift is generally treated as permitted development and needs no planning application. Cambourne's modern homes rarely raise listing or conservation issues, but if your property carries any specific restriction we will identify it during the survey and guide you through any approvals required well before installation work begins on site.

Most Cambourne installations take three to five working days, including delivery, fitting, commissioning and the LOLER safety inspection. Because the OnLevel lift arrives factory-built and needs only a shallow 150mm pit, you avoid the weeks of structural building a conventional shafted lift would involve. We confirm the exact timeline in your written quotation before any work begins at the property.

Yes. Cambourne's modern townhouses and family homes take a lift very straightforwardly. Our units need no deep pit, no separate machine room and no significant structural change, which suits the well-proportioned new-build housing across the town. A through-floor model is often ideal here, rising through one small ceiling opening so the lift goes in without giving up a bedroom or reworking the layout.

For most Cambourne homes, yes. A platform lift carries you vertically between floors inside an enclosed car rather than seating you on a rail along the staircase. It takes a wheelchair, frame or scooter with you, gives a more dignified and independent experience, and adds value to a modern family home in a way that a stairlift fixed to the stairs does not.

Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Cambourne lift is running, our engineers return on a planned maintenance schedule to inspect, test and certify it, and respond quickly if a fault arises. Regular servicing keeps the lift safe, smooth and fully compliant across Cambourne, Cambridge, Bourn, Hardwick and the wider South Cambridgeshire area.

Often less than you would think. A through-floor lift takes up roughly the footprint of a large armchair and rises through a single neat ceiling opening, which fits the efficient layouts of Cambourne's modern homes without giving up a room. We measure at the survey and recommend the most compact option that still carries a wheelchair, so the lift suits your home rather than crowding it.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, so their health and safety practices have been independently vetted. Every Cambourne lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard alongside Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018, installed by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and fully tested, certified and signed off before handover.
