Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Dulwich

Every Dulwich project is priced individually rather than to a set tariff. The travel height, the model chosen and the particular demands of a Dulwich Estate villa or a Herne Hill semi all shape the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial installation. We survey the property first and then provide a written, no-obligation quotation entirely free of charge.

For most Dulwich homes none is required, since the lift sits wholly indoors as permitted development. With several conservation areas and the protected Dulwich Estate frontages, however, external alterations to period houses can sometimes need consent. We check exactly where your property stands before any work starts and handle the conservation and building-regulations paperwork on your behalf throughout.

Three to five days is typical for a Dulwich 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 demands. We agree the timetable with you beforehand, so every stage is planned and the completion date is clear from the very beginning of the job.

Yes. The large Victorian villas around Dulwich Village and the College have generous rooms but no lift, and an OnLevel platform lift suits them well. A shallow pit, the absence of a machine room and a slim footprint let the lift stand beside the staircase with only light work, whether the house is a double-fronted villa or a later Edwardian semi.

They meet different needs. A stairlift suits a single person who manages one flight and uses no wheelchair. A platform lift becomes the better choice the moment a wheelchair or scooter has to reach an upper floor, as it carries both the person and the mobility aid. Many Dulwich households choose the lift so the family home keeps working for the long term.

Yes. A maintenance plan accompanies every lift we install. Once a lift is fitted in Dulwich, we look after it across East Dulwich, West Dulwich, Herne Hill and Camberwell, returning for scheduled safety checks and on hand should a repair be needed. Regular servicing keeps the lift reliable and fully compliant with the relevant safety standards.

Surprisingly little. The OnLevel lift needs only a shallow 150mm pit and houses no separate machinery, so a corner of a room or the area beside the staircase is normally enough. That is how it fits the tall villas near Dulwich Park and the Picture Gallery, where a conventional shafted lift could never realistically be constructed within the house.

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