Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Bosbury

A home or platform lift in Bosbury usually ranges from around £15,000 to £30,000, depending on the number of floors served, the finish you choose and any building work needed first. A simple through-floor lift in a timber-framed cottage sits at the lower end, while a glazed commercial lift in a village inn or cider premises costs more. After a free site survey we give a fixed written quote, with no obligation to go ahead.

An internal home or through-floor lift in Bosbury rarely needs planning permission, because the work stays inside the existing house. Permission is more likely for an external lift, or where a timber-framed property near the church is listed or sits within a conservation area. We assess this at the survey and, where consent or listed building approval is needed, we guide you through the application before any installation begins.

Most home and through-floor lifts in Bosbury are installed in three to five days once the survey is complete and the lift has been built to your specification. A straightforward through-floor lift in a village cottage can be finished in a couple of days, while a glazed commercial lift with groundworks takes longer. We confirm a clear timetable in your written quote so you know exactly what to expect once our engineers are on site.

Yes. Many Bosbury homes are timber-framed cottages set among the hop yards and orchards, and a through-floor or home lift suits them well because neither needs a separate shaft or a deep pit. We survey the joists, the headroom and the landing above, then choose a compact lift that works with the existing structure. Glass or painted finishes help it sit comfortably within a beamed cottage interior without crowding the room or its character.

It depends on your needs. A stairlift carries one seated rider up the staircase, while a platform or home lift travels vertically to take a wheelchair, a walking frame or two people together. For wheelchair users, or households wanting the Bosbury staircase kept clear, a platform lift is usually the better long-term choice. We discuss both options at the survey so the decision suits your home and the way you live in it.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Bosbury and the surrounding hop-yard country, including Ledbury, Cradley, Coddington, Mathon and Colwall. Our engineers carry out planned maintenance visits and respond to call-outs, keeping your lift safe and reliable in line with EN 81-41. Regular servicing also protects the warranty and the smooth running you rely on, whether the lift is in a timber-framed cottage, a village inn or a small office on the Ledbury road.

Less than most people expect. A through-floor lift in a Bosbury home occupies a footprint a little larger than an armchair on each floor and needs only a shallow 150mm recess rather than a deep pit. A home lift runs on a slim self-supporting rail and tucks neatly into a corner or against a wall. At the survey we measure the room and the ceiling above to confirm the best position before anything is fitted.

Yes. Every Bosbury installation is carried out by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and we are SafeContractor accredited under CN8516. Our lifts are installed to EN 81-41, comply with Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018, and each one is tested, certified and signed off before handover. That accreditation means the same standards on every job, from a timber-framed cottage to a village inn.
