Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Tetbury

A platform lift in Tetbury generally costs between fifteen and thirty thousand pounds. The price depends on the number of floors served, the finish chosen and the structural work involved, which can be higher in tall listed townhouses serving three storeys. A basic home lift sits at the lower end and an enclosed commercial unit at the higher end. We confirm a fixed written quotation after the survey.

A lift fitted inside your home is an internal alteration and usually needs no planning permission, though it must satisfy Building Regulations. Many Tetbury properties are listed or stand within the conservation area, where listed building consent can apply to internal works. We confirm your property's status during the survey and advise on any consent needed well before work begins.

Most home installations in Tetbury take three to five days. The lift is built and wired at the factory before delivery, keeping the on-site work short and tidy. Lifts serving three storeys, or commercial lifts needing structural openings, can take a little longer. We set out a clear timescale in your written quotation once the survey of your property is complete.

Yes. Tetbury's tall Cotswold-stone townhouses are an ideal case for a platform lift that serves all three storeys from a single shaft. We survey the floor structure on each level and find a vertical alignment that works through the building, then position the lift so it reaches every floor while keeping the alterations to the period interior sympathetic.

It depends on the household. A stairlift suits a single user who can sit on a moving seat and walk a little. A platform lift is the stronger choice for wheelchair users and for tall houses, since the chair rides up with the passenger. Across multiple floors in a Tetbury townhouse, a platform lift usually gives a smoother and more practical solution.

We provide scheduled maintenance visits and a prompt repair call-out, all delivered by the engineers who install our lifts. Routine servicing keeps your lift safe and compliant, and we hold full records to support any warranty or insurance requirements.

A home platform lift needs about one square metre of floor space, similar to a small armchair, plus clearance up through each floor it serves. It sits in a shallow 150mm pit and needs no separate machine room, so it fits into a corner, hallway or stairwell void. During our Tetbury survey we measure each level and confirm the lift's exact position.

Yes. Our Tetbury installations are completed 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.
