Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Tewkesbury

A Tewkesbury lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a timber-framed alley 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.

For most Tewkesbury homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The medieval-town conservation area and its many listed timber-framed 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.

Three to five days is typical for a Tewkesbury 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. Even a tall, narrow timber-framed cottage in the medieval alleys takes a lift, eased in with care and faced to the old timber and plaster. A shallow pit and slim footprint reach the floor above with light work, the character of the home kept intact.

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 Tewkesbury 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 Tewkesbury lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect, test and certify it, across Bishop's Cleeve, Ashchurch, Twyning and Bredon, and respond quickly should a fault appear. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant.

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 is how it serves the timber-framed cottages of the alleys, where a conventional shafted lift could never be built.

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