Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Consett

The price depends on the kind of lift, how many floors it serves, and the layout of your particular property. A two-floor home lift falls in a different bracket from a larger commercial passenger lift. We survey your Consett home or business and provide a full written quotation with no hidden extras, so you know the exact figure before deciding whether to go ahead with the installation.

In most cases no, since a domestic platform lift is treated as permitted development and the work stays inside your home. If your Consett property is a listed building, or sits within a conservation area such as parts of Shotley Bridge, we will explain exactly which consents apply and help you arrange them before any installation begins, so that nothing is missed along the way.

Most domestic and commercial installations take three to five working days, including delivery, fitting, commissioning and the LOLER safety inspection. Because the OnLevel lift arrives factory-built and needs only a shallow pit, a Consett property avoids the weeks of structural building that a conventional shafted lift would demand. We confirm the full timeline in your written quotation before any work begins on site.

Yes. Because our lifts need no deep pit, no machine room and no major structural change, they suit the compact steelworker terraces that fill much of Consett and the older stone homes around it. We survey the property first, work out a route that respects the existing walls and floors, and fit a lift that sits within the terrace while restoring full access between both floors.

A platform lift moves you vertically between floors rather than along the staircase, and it carries a wheelchair, frame or scooter with you. It leaves the stairs free for everyone else in the home, adds value to the property, and gives a more dignified ride. For many Consett residents planning for the long term, that mix makes it the stronger choice over a stairlift.

Yes. Servicing forms part of every OnLevel installation. Once your lift is fitted, our engineers return on a regular maintenance plan to inspect, test and certify it, and we respond quickly should a fault occur. We keep lifts safe, smooth and compliant across Consett, Stanley, Leadgate, Shotley Bridge and Lanchester, so yours stays reliable for many years to come.

Far less than most people expect. A compact OnLevel home lift has a footprint roughly the size of an armchair and can be tucked beside the staircase or into a corner, needing only a shallow pit rather than a full shaft. During our Consett survey we measure the room you have available and confirm the neatest position before any installation is arranged.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, so their health and safety practices are independently vetted. Every Consett lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard alongside Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018, and is fitted by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors. Each installation is tested, certified and signed off before handover, giving you a fully compliant lift.
