Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Saltash

A home platform lift in Saltash usually costs between around twelve and twenty-five thousand pounds, depending on the travel height, the number of floors served and the finishes chosen. Commercial passenger and wheelchair lifts cover a wider range according to capacity and access. Because every hillside terrace and waterside cottage differs, we provide a fixed written quotation after a free survey rather than a loose estimate.

An internal home lift almost never requires planning permission, as it stays entirely inside your own walls, and through-floor lifts usually count as permitted internal alterations. Listed riverside houses or properties in Saltash's conservation area may need consent, and commercial work can involve building control. We check the requirements for your particular property and handle any application that proves necessary on your behalf.

Most home lifts in Saltash are installed within three to five working days from delivery, and a simpler through-floor unit can often be fitted in a single day. Commercial platform lifts take longer where structural work is involved. After the survey we set out a firm timetable, so you can arrange the installation around home or business life with complete confidence and no surprises.

Yes. Saltash's terraces climb steeply from the Tamar and often have tight, awkward staircases that a platform lift handles well. A through-floor model rises between storeys without a shaft, while a compact home lift fits into a corner of the ground floor. We survey the structure and floor build-up of your hillside home first to confirm the cleanest, simplest route upstairs.

Each suits a different situation. A stairlift carries a seated person up the existing staircase and costs less, which works for many Saltash homes. A platform lift moves vertically and takes a wheelchair along with its user. When climbing the stairs has become unsafe, or a wheelchair must reach the upper floor, the platform lift is the stronger and longer-lasting answer for the household.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Saltash and the surrounding Tamar valley, taking in Torpoint, Callington, St Germans, Landrake and Carkeel. Regular servicing keeps the lift safe, quiet and compliant, and our engineers carry common parts to resolve most issues in one visit. A maintenance plan is arranged at handover so cover begins from the very first day.

Less than most people expect. A home lift takes up roughly the footprint of a small armchair and sits on a shallow 150mm pit, so no deep excavation is needed in a Saltash hillside home. A through-floor lift uses only a modest aperture between two rooms. During the survey we measure the space available and show exactly where the car and its landing will sit.

Yes. We are SafeContractor accredited (CN8516) and install platform lifts to EN 81-41, with all work meeting Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. Installations across Saltash 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.
