Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Bodmin

A domestic platform lift in Bodmin generally ranges from around twelve to twenty-five thousand pounds, shaped by the travel distance, the floors served and your chosen finishes. Commercial passenger and wheelchair lifts span a wider band according to capacity and access. Since each Georgian townhouse or moor-edge cottage is different, we provide a fixed written quotation after a free survey rather than a rough guess.

An internal home lift very rarely requires planning permission, because it stays wholly inside your existing walls, and through-floor lifts usually count as permitted internal alterations. Listed buildings or properties in Bodmin's conservation areas may need consent, and commercial schemes can involve building control. We confirm the requirements for your particular property and handle any application that proves necessary on your behalf.

Most home lifts in Bodmin are installed within three to five working days from delivery, and a straightforward through-floor model can often be completed in just one day. Commercial platform lifts take longer where structural work is involved. Following the survey we issue a firm timetable, letting you arrange the installation around family or business life with no surprises along the way.

Yes. The granite cottages on Bodmin's moorland fringe often have steep, narrow staircases that a platform lift overcomes neatly. A through-floor model rises straight between storeys without a shaft, while a compact home lift tucks into a corner of the ground floor. We survey the moorstone structure and floor build-up first, then recommend the model that gives the simplest, tidiest route upstairs.

Each has its place. A stairlift carries a seated user along the existing staircase and is cheaper, which suits plenty of Bodmin homes. A platform lift travels vertically and takes a wheelchair complete with its occupant. When the stairs have become unsafe to climb, or a wheelchair needs to reach the upper floor, the platform lift is the more capable and lasting solution for the household.

Yes. Every lift we install around Bodmin is covered by our servicing and maintenance, reaching out to Wadebridge, Lostwithiel, St Austell, Liskeard and Lanivet. Routine servicing keeps the lift safe, quiet and compliant, and our engineers carry the common spares to fix most faults on the first visit. A maintenance plan is set up at handover so your cover begins immediately.

Surprisingly little. A home lift takes up about the area of a small armchair and sits on a shallow 150mm pit, so there is no deep excavation into a Bodmin cottage's solid base. A through-floor lift needs only a modest opening between two rooms. During the survey we measure your space precisely and mark out exactly where the car and landing will go.

Yes. We hold SafeContractor accreditation (CN8516) and install platform lifts to EN 81-41, with every job meeting Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. Installations in Bodmin are completed by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and each lift is tested, certified and signed off before handover, so you take ownership of a fully compliant and ready installation.
