Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Brighton

We quote each Brighton job to the property, not a fixed rate. The travel height, the model chosen and the home — a tall Hanover terrace differs from a seafront flat — all shape the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial scheme. After a survey, the written quotation is free and carries no obligation.

For most Brighton homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The city's many conservation areas and listed Regency buildings — around Kemptown and the seafront especially — are the exceptions, where external changes can require consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work begins and handle the conservation and building-regulations paperwork for you.

Three to five days is typical for a Brighton 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. Brighton sets Regency seafront houses and Kemptown squares beside the Victorian terraces of Hanover and Preston Park, and OnLevel lifts suit them all. A shallow pit, no machine room and a slim footprint let a lift stand beside the stairs with light work, whether the house is a listed Regency property or a recent build.

It depends on what has to ride between the floors. A stairlift suits one seated person on a single flight. A platform lift suits anyone bringing a wheelchair or scooter upstairs, carrying user and aid together. For a Brighton home where a wheelchair is in use, the lift is generally the more capable and longer-lasting choice.

Yes. A maintenance plan comes with every lift we install. Once a lift is fitted in Brighton, we look after it across the city and out to Hove, Portslade and Rottingdean, returning for scheduled safety checks and ready to attend if a repair is needed. Regular servicing keeps the lift reliable and compliant with the relevant standards.

Very little. The OnLevel lift asks only for a shallow 150mm pit and houses no separate machinery, so a corner of a room or the space beside the staircase is usually enough. That is how it fits the tall Regency and Victorian terraces of Brighton, where a traditional shafted lift simply could not be built.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Brighton 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.
