Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation March

Every March project is priced on its own rather than to a fixed rate. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a Victorian terrace near the station or a larger house by St Wendreda's all affect the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial scheme. We survey the property first and then provide a written, no-obligation quotation at no charge.

For most March homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The exception is the March conservation area around the Market Place and the town's listed buildings, including St Wendreda's, where external changes can require consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work and handle the conservation and building-regulations paperwork for you.

Three to five days is typical for a March 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. March sets the Victorian railway terraces beside the Georgian houses of Broad Street and the newer homes on the town's edges, and OnLevel lifts suit them all. A shallow pit, no machine room and a slim footprint let a lift stand beside the stairs with light work, whether the house is a period terrace or a recent build.

It really depends on the home. A stairlift manages a single flight and one seated rider, whereas a platform lift links the floors fully and carries a wheelchair, frame or scooter along. In a March home where someone uses a wheelchair, or a three-storey house near Broad Street, the lift is usually the more practical and longer-lasting answer for the household.

Yes. A maintenance plan comes with every lift we install. Once a lift is fitted in March, we look after it from the town centre out to Wimblington, Doddington and Manea, returning for scheduled safety checks and ready to attend if a repair is needed. Regular servicing keeps the lift reliable and compliant with the relevant standards.

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 fits the railway-era terraces and older homes of March, where a traditional shafted lift simply could not be built.

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