Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Wimbledon

A home platform lift in Wimbledon usually starts at around 20,000 pounds and rises with the number of floors, the chosen finish and the cabin size. A large house near the Common serving three floors costs more than a simple two-stop lift in a terrace. We provide a fixed written quote after surveying your property, with no obligation, so the full price is clear before any work is booked.

An internal lift sits within the existing house and rarely needs planning permission. Wimbledon has several conservation areas and many period and larger detached homes, however, so listed building consent applies where protected fabric is affected. We check this during the survey and, where consent is required, prepare the drawings and details to make the application to Merton Council straightforward.

Most Wimbledon home installations take three to five days on site once the survey and any consents are in place. A two-stop lift sits at the faster end, while a three-storey house near the Common or one needing extra builder's work takes a little longer. We agree a firm date beforehand and keep the working area tidy and contained while we fit.

Yes. The Victorian terraces around Wimbledon town centre and Merton Park suit our lifts well, because a compact cabin needs only a square metre or so and runs from a normal socket. We position it beside the staircase or in the hall, work carefully around original features, and where a terrace falls within a conservation area we agree the approach with the council before starting.

In Wimbledon's larger multi-floor houses a platform lift usually wins. A stairlift has to follow each flight and bend, while a platform lift carries you in an enclosed cabin straight up through the storeys and accepts a wheelchair, a frame or a companion. It also protects the value of a substantial home, where a stairlift on the stairs can look like a stopgap rather than a permanent solution.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Wimbledon and nearby Raynes Park, Merton Park, Southfields, Putney and Wandsworth. 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.

Surprisingly little. A home lift cabin takes up about a square metre, close to the footprint of a small armchair, and works from a standard plug with no separate plant room. In a Wimbledon house we generally find that space beside the stair or in a hallway, so the lift goes in without giving up a bedroom or upsetting the proportions of the 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, covering both safety and accessibility. Every lift is tested, certified and signed off before handover, so Wimbledon homeowners and businesses receive a fully documented, compliant installation backed by the people who built it.
