Platform Lifts in Cirencester
OnLevel — the UK's fastest,
lowest-disruption lift solution
Cirencester is known as the Capital of the Cotswolds, a handsome and affluent market town that was Corinium Dobunnorum, the second-largest town in Roman Britain, as the superb Corinium Museum records. Its soaring wool church of St John the Baptist, with its great fan-vaulted south porch, looks over the bustling Market Place, and the vast Cirencester Park of the Bathurst estate, fronted by one of the tallest yew hedges in the world, reaches right up to the town. Surrounded by sought-after stone villages, Cirencester is a prosperous place to live. From stone cottages to Georgian town houses, many Cirencester homes have steep staircases.
We install home lifts, commercial platform lifts, wheelchair lifts and through-floor lifts across Cirencester — including Stratton, Siddington, South Cerney, Kemble and Chesterton. Every installation is handled by our own SafeContractor accredited engineers (CN8516), usually within three to five days.
Residential & Commercial
Platform lift solutions for every building in Cirencester
Residential
Home Lift Installation
Cirencester's homes are built of Cotswold stone, from the cottages and Georgian houses around the wool church and the Roman street pattern to the Victorian villas and the newer houses out toward Stratton and Chesterton. Many of the older ones stand tall with narrow stairs. As the years tell, the upper floors of a stone home in the Capital of the Cotswolds can slip from reach. A home lift from OnLevel keeps a Cirencester home open on every floor rather than prompting a move from the Capital of the Cotswolds. A stone cottage by the wool church or a Georgian house on the old Roman street was not laid out for a lift, yet our residential model asks only a 150mm pit and no machine room, finished to suit. Step-free travel between the floors follows quietly.

Commercial Platform Lift
Shops, offices and venues across Cirencester — from the Market Place to the wool church, the Corinium Museum, Cirencester Park, the business parks, the inns and the surgeries — carry duties under the Equality Act 2010 to provide reasonable access for disabled people. A commercial OnLevel platform lift is often the least disruptive way to meet them. We work with the independent shops, boutiques and delis of the Market Place, the museum and the park and visitor businesses, the inns, tearooms and restaurants, the business parks and the agricultural college, and the GP and private clinics, care and nursing homes and consulting rooms around Cirencester. Tell us about your premises and how people move through them, and we will arrange a survey and a written, no-obligation quotation to match. Our lifts comply with Part M of the Building Regulations, BS 6440:2023 and BS 8300:2018.
Commercial platform lifts in GloucestershireThrough Floor
Through Floor Home Lifts
A through-floor lift rises straight between two storeys through a small opening in the ceiling, with no outdoor shaft, no deep digging and no machine room to house. In a Cirencester stone cottage or a Georgian town house, it can be finished to honour the age of the home and sit almost unnoticed. Most through-floor installations take three to five days, even in the tall, narrow rooms of a Cirencester period house. The factory-built lift is set into a prepared opening and the surround finished to match your interior, so the rest of the home stays in use while our engineers work.

Wheelchair & DDA Access
Wheelchair users across Cirencester — from Stratton and Siddington to South Cerney, Kemble and Chesterton — can regain independent movement between floors at home, or step-free entry to commercial premises, with a wheelchair platform lift from OnLevel. We supply vertical platform lifts for full storey-height travel and step lifts for raised entrances. All of our wheelchair lifts are DDA compliant and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

At home in any space
Built for Cirencester's most
demanding buildings
From heritage conversions and listed properties to modern new builds, the OnLevel lift slots in where traditional lifts cannot go. The 150mm pit depth, self-supporting structure and bolt-together installation mean it can be retrofitted into existing buildings without major structural work — so you keep the character of the space and still deliver compliant, dignified access.
Whether the setting is a converted warehouse, a period townhouse, or a brand-new commercial fit-out, the lift becomes part of the architecture — not a compromise added after the fact.

FAQs
Platform lift questions for Cirencester
How much does a platform lift cost in Cirencester?
A Cirencester lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a stone cottage or a Georgian town house 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.
Do I need planning permission for a home lift in Cirencester?
For most Cirencester homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The town conservation area around the Market Place and its many listed stone buildings 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.
How long does it take to install a platform lift in Cirencester?
Three to five days is typical for a Cirencester 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.
Can a platform lift be fitted in an old Cirencester town house?
Yes. The stone cottages and Georgian houses around the Market Place and the old Roman streets take a lift, eased into a corner or beside the stair. A shallow pit, no machine room and a slim footprint serve the upper floors with light work, faced to the period.
Is a platform lift better than a stairlift for a Cirencester home?
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 Cirencester home where a wheelchair is in use, the lift is generally the more capable and longer-lasting choice.
Do you service platform lifts in the Cirencester area?
Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Cirencester lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect, test and certify it, across Stratton, Siddington, South Cerney and Kemble, and respond quickly should a fault appear. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant.
How much space does a platform lift need in a Cirencester home?
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 suits homes from a compact stone cottage to a larger Georgian town house.
Are your Cirencester platform lift engineers accredited?
Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Cirencester 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.
