Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Tiverton

A Tiverton lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a wool merchant's town house or a terrace near the Heathcoat factory all shape the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial installation. We survey the property first, then provide a written, no-obligation quotation at no charge.

For most Tiverton homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The town conservation area and the listed houses near St Peter's and the castle are the exception, where internal changes to a listed home can also require consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work begins and handle the conservation and listed-building paperwork for you.

Three to five days is typical for a Tiverton installation. Because the lift arrives factory-built and sits in a shallow 150mm pit, the home avoids the weeks of shaft and masonry work a conventional lift would involve. We agree the timetable with you in advance, so each stage is planned and the completion date is clear from the very start.

Yes, absolutely. A tall town house from the cloth-trade years, with steep, turning stairs between the floors, will still take a lift that is fitted with care and finished to suit the room. The shallow pit and compact footprint reach the floor above with light disruption, so the riverside town home keeps its character and stays comfortable for the household.

It depends on whether a wheelchair must travel. A stairlift carries a seated rider and leaves the wheelchair below. A platform lift carries the wheelchair or scooter up with the user, between the floors. For a Tiverton home where a wheelchair is in use, the lift is generally the more capable and longer-lasting choice.

Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Tiverton lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect, test and certify it, across Cullompton, Bampton, Witheridge and Crediton, and respond quickly should a fault appear. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant.

Very little. A shallow 150mm pit and no machinery mean a corner or the space beside the stair is usually enough, which suits the older wool merchants' town houses and the factory terraces whose steep stairs and close walls would never make room for a fully shafted conventional lift.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Tiverton lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard alongside Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. The work is carried out by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and each lift is fully tested, certified and signed off before handover.
