Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Looe

A home lift for a Looe property typically falls between roughly twelve and thirty thousand pounds, depending on the number of floors served, the finish you choose and how the harbourside cottage or hillside house is laid out. Because every home is different, we survey the property and the staircase first, then give you a fixed written quotation with no obligation to proceed.

Most home lifts sit inside the existing structure and count as permitted development, so planning permission is rarely needed in Looe. Listed buildings in the older parts of East and West Looe, or properties in the conservation area, may need consent, and external lifts can too. We will tell you during the survey whether any approval applies and help you arrange it.

A straightforward home lift in a Looe house is usually installed in three to five working days. Through-floor models and commercial platform lifts can take a little longer where building work is involved. We confirm the exact schedule after the site survey, and our own engineers carry out the whole job from start to handover without subcontractors.

Yes. The narrow stacked cottages along the steep streets of East and West Looe are exactly where a through-floor lift earns its place, rising directly between floors where no stairlift would fit the twisting flight. We assess the floor structure and the room above during the survey and choose a model and position that suit the cottage.

It depends on what you need. A stairlift is cheaper and follows the line of your existing stairs, which suits many Looe homes well. A platform lift carries a wheelchair and its user together, travels between floors independently of the staircase, and gives a more spacious ride. The right choice turns on mobility, the layout of the house and the budget.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Looe and the surrounding area, from Polperro and Talland to Duloe, Pelynt and Liskeard. Regular servicing keeps the lift safe, smooth and covered by its warranty. We offer maintenance plans with scheduled visits and respond promptly to any callout when something needs attention.

Less than people expect. A typical residential lift occupies around the footprint of a small armchair and needs only a shallow 150mm pit, with no machine room and no separate motor housing. That compact size matters in the tight Looe waterside cottages, where we position the lift to take the least possible floor area from each room.

Yes. We are SafeContractor accredited (CN8516) and our lifts meet EN 81-41, Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. Every installation in Looe is carried out by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and each lift is tested, certified and signed off before handover, so you receive a fully compliant and documented installation.
