Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Painswick

A Painswick lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a tall, steep clothier's house of pale Painswick stone 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 Painswick homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The conservation area around the churchyard with its ninety-nine yews and the town's many 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 Painswick 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. Even a three-storey clothier's house of pale Painswick stone, narrow inside and steep between its floors, will take a lift that is eased in carefully and faced to the old stonework. The shallow pit and slim footprint reach the upper rooms with light work, leaving the historic fabric of the house unharmed.

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 Painswick 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 Painswick lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect, test and certify it, across Sheepscombe, Slad, Cranham and Pitchcombe, and respond quickly should a fault appear. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant.

Surprisingly little. A shallow 150mm pit and no machinery mean a corner or the space beside the stair is usually sufficient, which suits the tall, narrow stone houses around the churchyard whose steep, turning staircases and close walls would never accommodate a fully shafted lift.

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