Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Bourton-on-the-Water

A Bourton lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a small riverside cottage or a larger family 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 Bourton homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The conservation area around the green and the Windrush and the town's listed cottages 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 Bourton 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, it can. A small stone cottage beside the Windrush and its footbridges, low inside and steep on the stairs, will still take a lift that is worked in carefully and finished to suit the riverside home. The shallow pit and slim footprint reach the floor above with little disruption, so the cottage keeps its character and stays comfortable to live in.

It depends on whether a wheelchair has to 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 Bourton 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 Bourton lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect, test and certify it, across Lower Slaughter, Upper Slaughter, the Rissingtons and Stow-on-the-Wold, 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 by the stair is usually enough, which suits the small riverside cottages by the Windrush whose low ceilings and close walls would never make room for a fully shafted conventional lift.

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