Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Letchworth

Pricing is worked out for each Letchworth project rather than fixed to a list. The travel height, the model you choose, and the demands of a garden-city cottage near Broadway or a larger home on Manor Park all play a part, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial scheme. We survey the property, then set out a written, no-obligation quotation at no charge.

For most Letchworth homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors and counts as permitted development. The exception is the town's extensive conservation areas, where external changes to a protected garden-city property can need consent. We confirm where your home stands before any work and handle the conservation and building-regulations side for you.

Three to five days is the norm for a Letchworth installation. The lift arrives factory-built and drops into a shallow 150mm pit, so the home avoids the weeks of shaft construction a conventional lift would bring. We agree the timetable with you in advance, so each stage is planned and the completion date is clear from the start.

Yes. Letchworth pairs early Arts and Crafts cottages around Norton Way and Broadway with the larger post-war and modern homes of the Grange, Jackmans and Manor Park estates, 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 house is a 1905 cottage or a later build.

It depends on the household. A stairlift seats one rider on a single flight, while a platform lift serves every storey with a wheelchair, frame or scooter aboard. For a Letchworth home with a wheelchair user, or a tall cottage near the town centre, the platform lift is usually the more capable and more saleable choice for the long term.

Yes. Maintenance comes with every lift we install. Once a lift is fitted in Letchworth, we service it from the town centre and Norton out to Willian, Baldock and Hitchin, returning for regular safety checks and ready to attend if a repair is ever needed. Routine servicing keeps the lift reliable and compliant with the relevant standards.

Very little. The OnLevel lift asks only for a 150mm pit and holds no separate machinery, so a corner or the space beside the stairs is usually enough. That is how it fits the compact garden-city cottages of Letchworth, where a traditional shafted lift simply could not go, while still carrying a wheelchair between floors.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Letchworth 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 certified and signed off before we hand it over.
