Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Greenwich

A home platform lift in Greenwich typically starts around 20,000 pounds and rises with the number of floors served, the chosen finish and the cabin size. A three-storey terrace near the Park costs more than a simple two-stop lift. We provide a fixed written quote after surveying the property, with no obligation, so the full price is clear before any work is arranged or booked.

An internal lift sits inside the existing house and rarely needs planning permission. Greenwich includes a World Heritage Site and large conservation areas with many listed Georgian and Victorian homes, so listed building consent can apply where protected fabric is affected. We check this at survey and, where consent is needed, prepare drawings to support a straightforward application to the council.

Most home installations in Greenwich take three to five days on site once the survey and any consents are settled. A two-stop lift sits at the quicker end, while a three-storey terrace or a job needing extra builder's work takes longer. We confirm a firm date beforehand and keep the working area tidy and contained throughout the installation.

Yes. The Georgian townhouses near Greenwich town centre and the Park suit our lifts well, because a compact cabin rises through several storeys without the wide footprint older lifts demanded. We position it beside the stair or in a hall corner, work around original features, and where the building is listed we agree the detailing with conservation officers before any work begins on site.

For Greenwich's three-storey terraces a platform lift is often the stronger option. A stairlift has to follow every flight and turn, while a platform lift carries you in an enclosed cabin straight up through the floors and takes a wheelchair, a frame or a companion. It also protects the value of a period home, where a stairlift bolted to the stairs can read as a temporary measure rather than a lasting fix.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Greenwich and the nearby areas of Blackheath, Deptford, Charlton, Lewisham and New Cross. Regular servicing keeps the lift safe and meets the EN 81-41 standard for platform lifts. We offer planned maintenance contracts with priority callouts, and our own engineers carry out the visits, so the team that fitted your lift is the team that maintains it.

Less than people generally expect. A home lift cabin occupies about a square metre, close to the footprint of a small armchair, and runs from a standard socket with no separate plant room. In a Greenwich terrace we usually find that space beside the staircase or in a hallway, so the lift fits without losing a bedroom or upsetting the proportions of the period rooms it serves.

Yes. We are SafeContractor accredited (CN8516) and use our own trained teams rather than subcontractors. Our home lifts meet EN 81-41 and our commercial lifts meet Part M and BS 8300:2018, so installations satisfy both safety and accessibility standards. Every lift is tested, certified and signed off before handover, giving Greenwich homeowners and businesses a fully documented, compliant installation they can rely on.
