Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Truro

A home lift in Truro typically falls between fifteen and thirty thousand pounds, depending on the number of floors served, the finish you choose and how straightforward the structure is. A Georgian townhouse on Lemon Street may need more groundwork than a modern Threemilestone house. We give a fixed written quotation after a free survey, so the figure you see is the figure you pay, with no hidden extras added later on.

Most home lifts sit entirely inside the property and count as permitted development, so no planning permission is required in Truro. Listed Georgian buildings near the cathedral or homes in the conservation area can be different, and external lifts may need consent. We check the position for your address before any work begins and handle Building Regulations approval where it applies, so nothing is missed.

A typical home or platform lift installation in Truro takes three to five working days from start to finish. The unit arrives factory-built, so most of the time on site goes into preparing the opening, fitting the lift and finishing the surround. We plan the work around your household so the home stays usable, handing back rooms as each stage of the installation is completed.

Yes. The tall Georgian townhouses around Lemon Street and Boscawen Street suit a through-floor or shaft lift well, as their generous room heights give a clean run between floors. Our engineers survey the structure first, position the lift to keep the period proportions, and match the surround to existing joinery so it sits comfortably within the historic interior of the house.

It depends on need. A stairlift suits someone who can walk a little and transfer onto a seat, and costs less. A platform lift carries a wheelchair user, their chair and a helper between floors without transferring, and gives a smoother, more dignified ride. For a wheelchair user in a multi-storey Truro home, the platform lift is usually the better long-term choice.

Yes. We offer service and maintenance contracts across Truro and the surrounding area, covering Threemilestone, Shortlanesend, Kenwyn, Highertown, Malpas and Chacewater. Regular servicing keeps a lift safe, smooth and reliable, and meets the manufacturer's requirements. Our own engineers carry out the visits, respond to any callouts, and keep full records of every check and adjustment made to your lift.

Less than most people expect. A through-floor home lift needs a footprint of roughly a square metre, about the size of an armchair, plus clear space above on the floor it serves. It calls for only a shallow 150mm pit and no separate machine room. In a compact Truro terrace we position the lift to keep the living space below as open as possible.

Yes. Our engineers are SafeContractor accredited (CN8516) and work to EN 81-41, Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. Every Truro installation is handled by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and each lift is tested, certified and signed off before handover. That gives you a fully compliant, properly documented installation and a single accountable team from survey to completion.
