Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Hemel Hempstead

Hemel Hempstead's homes span centuries: the Georgian and Tudor houses of the Old Town High Street, the Victorian villas and terraces of Boxmoor near the station, the post-war New Town houses of Adeyfield and Bennetts End, and the later estates of Grovehill and Woodhall Farm. As mobility changes, the staircase in any of these homes can become a daily obstacle. A home lift from OnLevel keeps you in your Hemel Hempstead home rather than facing a move. The Georgian houses of the Old Town and the Victorian villas of Boxmoor were never built around a lift shaft, but the OnLevel residential lift needs only a 150mm pit and no machine room. It fits beside the staircase or into a corner, so an Old Town townhouse or a New Town family home gains a lift between floors with limited structural work.

Shops, offices and public buildings across Hemel Hempstead — from the Marlowes centre and the Old Town High Street to the business parks at Maylands and the offices of the new town centre — have duties under the Equality Act 2010 to provide reasonable access for disabled visitors and staff. A commercial OnLevel platform lift is often the most practical route to compliance, without the heavy groundworks of a conventional passenger lift. We work with retailers in the Marlowes centre and the independent shops and inns of the Old Town High Street, offices on the Maylands business park, the Old Town Hall and other civic venues, care homes and GP surgeries across Adeyfield and Boxmoor, and businesses near the Grand Union Canal at Apsley. Tell us about your premises and we will provide a no-obligation quotation matched to your building. Our lifts comply with Part M of the Building Regulations, BS 6440:2023 and BS 8300:2018.

A through-floor lift rises between storeys through a compact opening in the ceiling — no external shaft, no deep excavation, no machine room. That makes it well suited to Hemel Hempstead's older housing, where the Georgian houses of the Old Town and the Victorian villas of Boxmoor leave little room for a more intrusive lift. Installation takes 3 to 5 days, even in the tighter layouts of Hemel Hempstead's older homes. The factory-built lift is fixed into a prepared opening and the surround finished to match the room. Its small footprint keeps the rest of the house in use while the work is carried out.

Wheelchair users across Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding area — from the Old Town and Boxmoor to Adeyfield, Bennetts End and Leverstock Green — can regain independent movement between floors at home, or step-free entry to commercial premises, with a wheelchair platform lift from OnLevel. We supply vertical platform lifts for full storey-height travel and step lifts for raised entrances. Every wheelchair lift meets DDA requirements and is certified for indoor and outdoor use.
