Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Wadhurst

A Wadhurst lift is priced to the property rather than from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a tall ridge-top period house or a newer commuter home 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 Wadhurst homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors and counts as permitted development. The High Weald landscape designation and the listed houses around the old town centre are the exception, where external changes can need consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work begins and handle the building-regulations paperwork on your behalf.

Three to five days is typical for a Wadhurst 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 demand. We agree the timetable with you in advance, so every stage is planned and the completion date is clear from the outset.

Yes. The converted farmsteads and barns of the Wadhurst ridges often have the open volume and the generous floors that suit a lift well. We work with the existing structure, placing the lift where it sits naturally and finishing it to match the converted interior, with a shallow pit and slim footprint reaching the upper level without heavy alteration.

It depends on whether a wheelchair has to travel. A stairlift carries a seated rider and leaves the chair at the bottom of the stairs. A platform lift raises the wheelchair or scooter together with its user, floor to floor. For a Wadhurst 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 Wadhurst lift is fitted, our engineers return on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Tidebrook, Cousley Wood, Ticehurst and Frant, and respond quickly should a fault appear. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and fully compliant for the long term.

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 modest footprint is what lets it serve the substantial ridge houses above Bewl Water, where owners would rather adapt than leave a long-held family home.

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