Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Redruth

A home platform lift in Redruth typically falls between roughly twelve and twenty-five thousand pounds, depending on travel height, the number of floors served and the finishes you choose. Commercial passenger and wheelchair lifts vary more widely with capacity and door arrangement. Because every granite terrace and villa differs, we give a fixed written quotation after a free on-site survey rather than a vague estimate.

An internal home lift almost never needs planning permission, as it sits entirely within your own walls. Through-floor and platform lifts are usually treated as permitted internal alterations. Listed miners' cottages or buildings in Redruth's conservation area can need consent, and commercial work may touch building control. We check the position for your specific property and guide you through any application required.

Most home lift installations across Redruth are completed within three to five working days once the lift is on site. A simpler through-floor unit can often be fitted in a single day. Commercial platform lifts depend on the structure and the building works around them. After the survey we give you a firm timetable, so you can plan around the engineers with confidence.

Yes. The tall three-storey terraces left by Redruth's mining era have steep, narrow staircases that a platform lift handles well. A through-floor model needs no shaft and rises straight between storeys, while a compact home lift fits into a corner footprint. We survey the granite structure and floor build-up first to confirm the cleanest route before recommending the right model.

It depends on need. A stairlift carries a seated person up the existing flight and costs less, which suits many Redruth homes. A platform lift, however, carries a wheelchair and its user together and moves vertically rather than along the stairs. If walking the staircase has become unsafe or a wheelchair must reach the bedroom floor, the platform lift is the stronger long-term answer.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Redruth and the surrounding district, taking in Camborne, Pool, Illogan, Lanner and Carharrack. Regular servicing keeps the lift safe, smooth and compliant, and our engineers carry common parts to resolve most issues in a single visit. Maintenance plans are arranged at handover so cover is in place from the very first day.

Less than people expect. A home lift occupies roughly the footprint of a small armchair and drops onto a shallow 150mm pit, so no deep excavation is needed in a granite-built Redruth home. A through-floor lift uses a modest aperture between two rooms. During the survey we measure the available space and show exactly where the car and its landing will sit.

Yes. We are SafeContractor accredited (CN8516) and install to EN 81-41 for platform lifts, with all work meeting Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. Installations across Redruth are carried out by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and every lift is tested, certified and signed off before handover so you receive a fully compliant, ready-to-use installation.
