Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Fairford

A Fairford lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a stone market-town cottage near St Mary's or a Georgian 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.

For most Fairford homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The conservation area around the market place and St Mary's church and the town's listed houses 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 Fairford 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. A stone cottage near St Mary's church, narrow inside with stairs that turn steeply, will still take a lift that is eased in with care and faced to the existing stonework. The shallow pit and compact footprint reach the floor above with light work, so the market-town home keeps its old character and remains easy 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 Fairford 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 Fairford lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect, test and certify it, across Lechlade, Kempsford, Quenington and Southrop, and respond quickly should a fault appear. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant.

Very little. A shallow 150mm pit and no machine room mean a corner or the space beside the stair is usually enough, which suits the tall, narrow market-town houses near St Mary's whose tight landings and close walls would not accommodate a fully shafted conventional lift.

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