Platform Lifts in Fareham

OnLevel — the UK's fastest,
lowest-disruption lift solution

Fareham is an old market town at the head of Portsmouth Harbour, long known for two things: the deep-red Fareham bricks that faced the Royal Albert Hall, and the strawberry fields that once made this the Strawberry Coast. Portchester Castle, a Roman shore fort with a Norman keep, guards the water nearby, and Titchfield keeps its abbey ruins and Tudor cottages. The Georgian High Street still climbs from the creek. From red-brick terraces to creekside cottages, many Fareham homes have steep staircases.

We install home lifts, commercial platform lifts, wheelchair lifts and through-floor lifts across Fareham — including Titchfield, Stubbington, Locks Heath, Warsash and Portchester. Every installation is handled by our own SafeContractor accredited engineers (CN8516), usually within three to five days.

Platform lift solutions for every building in Fareham

Residential

Home Lift Installation

Fareham housing ranges widely, from the Georgian houses of the High Street and the red-brick terraces of the old town to the Tudor and flint cottages of Titchfield and the waterside developments of Warsash, Whiteley and Park Gate. Few were ever built with a lift in mind. As mobility changes, the staircase in a Georgian townhouse or a creekside cottage can become the hardest part of the day. A home lift from OnLevel lets you stay in your Fareham home rather than move away. The High Street townhouses and the Titchfield cottages were never built around a lift shaft, yet our residential model needs only a shallow 150mm pit and no machine room. It tucks into a corner or beside the staircase, so a brick terrace by the Quay or a Locks Heath house gains step-free travel between floors with little structural work.

Commercial

Commercial Platform Lift

Shops, offices and venues across Fareham — from West Street and the Fareham Shopping Centre to Cams Hall, Portchester Castle, the marinas, Holly Hill park and the Solent Business Park at Whiteley — carry duties under the Equality Act 2010 to provide reasonable access for disabled people. A commercial OnLevel platform lift is often the least disruptive way to meet them. We work with the shops of West Street and the Shopping Centre, the marinas and chandlers of Warsash and Portchester, the offices of the Solent Business Park, and the GP surgeries, care homes and schools across Fareham. Tell us about your premises and how people move through them, and we will arrange a survey and a written, no-obligation quotation to match. Our lifts comply with Part M of the Building Regulations, BS 6440:2023 and BS 8300:2018.

Through Floor

Through Floor Home Lifts

A through-floor lift rises straight between two storeys through a small opening in the ceiling, with no outdoor shaft, no deep digging and no machine room to house. That makes it a discreet answer for Fareham's older housing, where a red-brick terrace or a Titchfield cottage has no space for a conventional shaft. Most through-floor installations take three to five days, even in the snug rooms of a Fareham brickmaker's terrace by the creek. The factory-built lift is set into a prepared opening and the surround finished to match your interior, so the rest of the home stays in use while our engineers work.

At home in any space

Built for Fareham's most
demanding buildings

From heritage conversions and listed properties to modern new builds, the OnLevel lift slots in where traditional lifts cannot go. The 150mm pit depth, self-supporting structure and bolt-together installation mean it can be retrofitted into existing buildings without major structural work — so you keep the character of the space and still deliver compliant, dignified access.

Whether the setting is a converted warehouse, a period townhouse, or a brand-new commercial fit-out, the lift becomes part of the architecture — not a compromise added after the fact.

FAQs

Platform lift questions for Fareham

How much does a platform lift cost in Fareham?

A Fareham lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a Georgian townhouse or a Titchfield cottage 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.

Do I need planning permission for a home lift in Fareham?

For most Fareham homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. Conservation areas such as the High Street and Titchfield and listed buildings are the exception, where external changes can require consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work begins and handle the conservation and building-regulations paperwork for you.

How long does it take to install a platform lift in Fareham?

Three to five days is typical for a Fareham 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.

Can a platform lift be fitted in an older Fareham property?

Yes. Fareham sets Georgian townhouses on the High Street beside the red-brick terraces of the old town and the cottages of Titchfield, and OnLevel lifts suit them all. A shallow pit, no machine room and a slim footprint let a lift stand beside the stairs with light work, whether the home is a townhouse or a cottage.

Is a platform lift better than a stairlift for a Fareham home?

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 Fareham home where a wheelchair is in use, the lift is generally the more capable and longer-lasting choice.

Do you service platform lifts in the Fareham area?

Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Fareham lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Titchfield, Stubbington, Locks Heath and Portchester, and respond quickly should a fault appear. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant.

How much space does a platform lift need in a Fareham home?

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 fits the red-brick terraces of the old town and the cottages of Titchfield, where a traditional shafted lift simply could not be built.

Are your Fareham platform lift engineers accredited?

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