Platform Lifts in Radlett
OnLevel — the UK's fastest,
lowest-disruption lift solution
Radlett is one of the most prosperous commuter towns in Hertfordshire, a leafy and largely affluent place strung along the line of the Roman Watling Street between Elstree and St Albans. Once the home of an aerodrome where Handley Page built aircraft, it has long been a sought-after address for professionals working in London, with large detached houses on tree-lined avenues. The smart shops and restaurants of the High Street, the parks and the nearby film studios at Elstree all add to its appeal. From Edwardian villas to gated modern houses, many Radlett homes have generous but climbing staircases.
We install home lifts, commercial platform lifts, wheelchair lifts and through-floor lifts across Radlett — including Shenley, Aldenham, Letchmore Heath, Elstree and Borehamwood. Every installation is handled by our own SafeContractor accredited engineers (CN8516), usually within three to five days.
Residential & Commercial
Platform lift solutions for every building in Radlett
Residential
Home Lift Installation
Radlett is a town of substantial homes, from the Edwardian and inter-war villas of the avenues near the station to the large gated modern houses on the leafy roads and the comfortable family homes toward Shenley and Aldenham. A great many run to three or four storeys on generous plots. When the stairs become a daily struggle, the top of a fine house can fall out of use. A home lift from OnLevel keeps a large Radlett house open on every floor instead of leaving the upstairs stranded. Built for room and not for a shaft, these detached houses still take our residential model, on a shallow 150mm pit and with no machine room, finished to a high standard. An avenue villa or a gated modern house then gains step-free travel between its floors.

Commercial Platform Lift
Shops, offices and venues across Radlett — from the High Street and Watling Street to the parks, the places of worship, the film studios, the restaurants and the offices — 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 boutiques, salons and delis of the High Street, the restaurants and cafes, the offices, the studios and the places of worship, and the GP and private clinics, care and nursing homes and consulting rooms around Radlett. 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.
Commercial platform lifts in HertfordshireThrough 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. In a tall Radlett villa or a modern detached house, it can be set discreetly into a corner and finished to match the home. Most through-floor installations take three to five days, even in the large rooms of a Radlett avenue villa. 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.

Wheelchair & DDA Access
Wheelchair users across Radlett — from Shenley and Aldenham to Letchmore Heath, Elstree and Borehamwood — 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. All of our wheelchair lifts are DDA compliant and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

At home in any space
Built for Radlett'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 Radlett
How much does a platform lift cost in Radlett?
A Radlett lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a large avenue villa or a gated modern house 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 Radlett?
For most Radlett homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. Conservation areas and the occasional listed building are the exception, where external changes can require consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work begins and handle the building-regulations paperwork for you.
How long does it take to install a platform lift in Radlett?
Three to five days is typical for a Radlett 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 a large Radlett house?
Yes, and the substantial villas and modern houses of Radlett suit one especially well. With high ceilings and generous landings, a lift can be placed discreetly and finished to match the interior. A shallow pit, no machine room and a slim footprint let it serve three or four storeys with light structural work.
Is a platform lift better than a stairlift for a Radlett 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 Radlett 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 Radlett area?
Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Radlett lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Shenley, Aldenham, Letchmore Heath and Elstree, 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 Radlett home?
Very little. The OnLevel lift asks only for a shallow 150mm pit and houses no separate machinery, so a corner of a reception room or the space beside the staircase is usually enough. That is how it serves the large houses of the avenues, where owners would sooner adapt than leave a fine Radlett home.
Are your Radlett platform lift engineers accredited?
Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Radlett 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.
