Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Hampstead

A home platform lift in Hampstead generally starts around 20,000 pounds and increases with the number of floors served, the finish and the cabin size. A tall hillside house with three or four stops costs more than a two-stop lift in a smaller home. We give a fixed written quote after visiting the property, with no obligation, so you have the complete figure before committing to any work.

An internal lift usually needs no planning permission, as it stays inside the existing house. Hampstead lies within extensive conservation areas and holds many listed Georgian and Victorian houses, so listed building consent can apply where protected fabric is touched. We assess this at survey and, where consent is required, prepare clear drawings to support a smooth application to Camden Council.

Most home installations in Hampstead take three to five days on site once the survey and any consents are settled. A two-stop lift is quicker; a tall village house serving three or four floors, or one needing extra builder's work, takes longer. We confirm a firm schedule in advance and keep disruption inside the house contained throughout the work.

Yes. Hampstead's steep Georgian townhouses are well suited to our lifts, since a compact cabin climbs several narrow storeys without the wide footprint older lifts required. We site it beside the stair or in a hall recess, work around original joinery and cornicing, and where the house is listed we agree the detailing with Camden's conservation officers before any work starts.

For Hampstead's tall hillside houses a platform lift is often the better fit. A stairlift must wind around every flight and narrow an already tight stair, 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 preserves the value of a sought-after village home far better than a seat fixed to the stairs.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Hampstead and the neighbouring areas of Belsize Park, Highgate, West Hampstead, Golders Green and Swiss Cottage. Servicing keeps the lift running safely and satisfies 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 people who fitted your lift also look after it.

Less than most owners imagine. A home lift cabin covers roughly a square metre, about the footprint of a small armchair, and runs from a standard socket with no separate plant room. In a narrow Hampstead house we usually find that space beside the staircase or in a hall recess, so the lift fits without losing a bedroom or disturbing the proportions of the period rooms.

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 Hampstead homeowners and businesses a fully documented, compliant installation they can trust.
