Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Dursley

A platform lift in Dursley typically falls between fifteen and thirty thousand pounds, depending on the number of floors served, the finish you choose and how much building work the structure needs. A straightforward two-storey home lift sits at the lower end, while a fully enclosed commercial lift costs more. We provide a fixed written quotation after surveying your property so there are no surprises later.

A home lift fitted inside your house does not normally require planning permission, as it counts as an internal alteration. The work must still meet Building Regulations. If your Dursley property is listed or sits within the Cotswolds conservation area, listed building consent may apply to internal changes, so we check the status during our survey and advise you before any work starts.

Most home installations in Dursley take three to five days from start to finish. The lift arrives factory-built and pre-wired, which keeps the on-site work short and the disruption low. Larger commercial or fully enclosed lifts can take a little longer where structural openings are involved. We confirm a firm timescale in your written quotation once the survey is complete.

Yes. The Victorian terraces climbing out of Dursley town centre are well suited to a through-floor lift, which rises between two stacked rooms without needing an external shaft. We assess the floor structure and find a discreet position, often a corner of the sitting room rising to a bedroom above, so the lift fits the period layout without major alterations.

It depends on your needs. A stairlift suits someone who can walk a few steps and sit on a moving seat. A platform lift is the better choice for anyone who uses a wheelchair, because the chair and passenger travel together. On the steep staircases common in older Dursley homes, a platform lift often gives a more stable and comfortable journey.

Yes. We service and maintain platform lifts throughout Dursley and the surrounding villages, including Cam, Stinchcombe, Uley, Coaley and Slimbridge. We offer planned maintenance visits and a call-out service for repairs, carried out by the same engineers who handle our installations. Regular servicing keeps your lift safe, compliant and running smoothly, and we keep records for any warranty or insurance requirements.

A home platform lift needs roughly the footprint of a small armchair, around one square metre, plus clearance to the floor above. It runs in a shallow 150mm pit with no separate machine room, so it tucks neatly into a corner or hallway. During our Dursley survey we measure the room and the floor above and confirm exactly where the lift will sit.

Yes. Our Dursley installations are carried out by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors. We are SafeContractor accredited (CN8516) and work to EN 81-41, Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. Every lift is tested, certified and signed off before handover, so you receive full documentation and the assurance that the installation meets current safety and accessibility standards.
