Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Mayfield

A Mayfield lift is priced to the property rather than from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a medieval timbered house or a larger home in the lanes 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 Mayfield homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The High Weald landscape designation and the village's many listed timbered houses are the exception, where internal alterations to a listed building can need consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work begins and handle the building-regulations paperwork for you.

Three to five days is typical for a Mayfield 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, though a medieval timber-framed house calls for a careful eye. We survey the frame and the floor levels first, then position the lift where it works with the structure rather than against it, finishing it to sit comfortably among the beams. The shallow pit and slim footprint reach the upper floor while keeping the old fabric of the house intact.

It depends on whether a wheelchair has to travel. A stairlift carries a seated rider and leaves the chair at the foot of the stairs. A platform lift raises the wheelchair or scooter with its user, floor to floor. For a Mayfield home where a wheelchair is in daily use, the platform lift is generally the more capable and longer-lasting choice.

Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Mayfield lift is fitted, our engineers return on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Five Ashes, Mark Cross, Rotherfield and Heathfield, and respond quickly should a fault appear. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and fully compliant year after year.

Very little. The OnLevel lift needs only a shallow 150mm pit and houses no separate machinery, so a corner of a reception room or the space beside the staircase is usually enough. That compact footprint matters in the older houses along the High Street, where rooms are characterful but the floor area is precious and best kept clear.

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