Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Wickford

We quote each Wickford job to the property, not a fixed price. The number of floors, the model chosen and the house — a plotland bungalow differs from a post-war semi — all shape the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial scheme. After surveying, the written quotation is free and carries no obligation.

For most Wickford homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. Any conservation area or listed building, such as the older parts near St Catherine's Church, is the exception, 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 Wickford 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. Wickford sets early plotland bungalows beside inter-war and post-war semis and the newer estates of Shotgate, 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, whatever the age and style of the house.

It depends how much you need it to do. A stairlift is the lighter, simpler choice for one person on a single flight. A platform lift is the more capable one, taking a wheelchair or scooter up with its user. For a Wickford home where a wheelchair is in use, the platform lift is generally the better long-term fit.

Yes. Every OnLevel lift comes with a service plan. Once your Wickford lift is fitted, our own engineers return regularly to inspect and test it and are on hand quickly if anything needs attention, covering homes from the town centre out to Shotgate, Runwell and Rettendon. Ongoing servicing keeps the lift safe, dependable and compliant.

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 plotland bungalows and post-war semis of Wickford, where a traditional shafted lift simply could not be built.

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