Platform Lift & Home Lift Installation Across Hertfordshire
Base OnLevel installs OnLevel platform lifts across Hertfordshire for homeowners, commercial premises, and public-sector buildings. Whether you need a home lift, a through-floor lift, a wheelchair-accessible platform, or a commercial solution that meets the Equality Act 2010 and Part M — our engineers handle the full project from assessment to handover.
The OnLevel system requires only a 150mm pit and an 850 × 850mm platform footprint, making it suitable for period properties, listed buildings, and modern developments alike. Installation completes in 3–5 days with no hot works, no welding, and no crane required. We hold SafeContractor accreditation (CN8516) and every installation is carried out to EN 81-41.
Home Lifts in Hertfordshire
The OnLevel home lift fits through an existing floor opening with only a 150mm pit — no deep excavation required. For homeowners across Hertfordshire it provides a quiet, reliable way to remain in a property that might otherwise require downsizing or significant structural work.
Home lift installation →Commercial Lifts in Hertfordshire
Shops, offices, care homes, and hospitality venues across Hertfordshire are subject to the Equality Act 2010. The OnLevel commercial platform lift meets Part M and BS 8300 requirements without the lead time or structural disruption of a traditional passenger lift.
Commercial lift installation →Wheelchair & DDA Lifts in Hertfordshire
Wheelchair platform lifts provide external and internal step-free access where a ramp is impractical. All installations across Hertfordshire comply with BS 6440 and the Equality Act's DDA provisions, and we confirm planning implications for your specific site before work begins.
Wheelchair lift installation →Through-Floor Lifts in Hertfordshire
A through-floor platform lift travels between floors through a prepared opening, preserving staircase access and requiring no structural shaft. The compact footprint suits the varied property stock found across Hertfordshire, from Victorian terraces to modern extensions.

Hertfordshire — Common Questions
Where in Hertfordshire do you install platform lifts? ▾
We cover the whole of Hertfordshire from our base in Chelmsford, Essex. The same Base OnLevel engineers who handle the project assessment carry out the installation — there is no local subcontracting. If you are unsure whether we cover your specific location, call us on 01245 968541 or use the contact form.
How long does a platform lift installation take in Hertfordshire? ▾
Physical installation of an OnLevel platform lift takes 3–5 days on site. Before that, we confirm your specification and the lift is manufactured and delivered — the typical order-to-installation window across Hertfordshire is around nine weeks. There is no excavation, no hot works, and no structural shaft required, so disruption is minimal compared with a traditional passenger lift.
Do I need planning permission for a platform lift in Hertfordshire? ▾
Internal platform lifts generally fall under permitted development and do not require planning permission. Listed buildings and properties within conservation areas across Hertfordshire may require listed building consent or conservation area consent. We confirm this for your specific property as part of the project assessment, so you have a clear picture before committing.
Are OnLevel platform lifts suitable for older properties in Hertfordshire? ▾
Yes. The 150mm pit depth and 850 × 850mm footprint are designed specifically for properties where deep excavation is not feasible. This makes the system well suited to the period and Victorian housing stock found across much of Hertfordshire, where a traditional lift shaft would require significant structural modification.
