Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Stevenage

Stevenage's homes are defined by the New Town: the post-war houses and maisonettes of Bedwell, Broadwater, Shephall, Chells and Pin Green, built from the 1950s, alongside the Georgian and Victorian houses of the Old Town High Street and the newer homes of Great Ashby. As mobility changes, the staircase in any of these homes can become a daily obstacle. A home lift from OnLevel keeps you in your Stevenage home rather than facing a move. The compact post-war houses of the neighbourhoods and the older homes of the Old Town were not 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 even a modest two-storey neighbourhood house gains a lift between floors with limited structural work.

Shops, offices and public buildings across Stevenage — from the pedestrianised Town Square and the Westgate centre to the science and aerospace campuses of GSK and Airbus in the west — 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 Town Square and the Westgate and Forum centres, the independent shops and inns of the Old Town High Street, offices and laboratories on the Gunnels Wood industrial and science parks, the Gordon Craig Theatre and other civic venues, and care homes and GP surgeries across Bedwell and Shephall. 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 Stevenage's housing, where the compact post-war homes of the neighbourhoods and the older houses of the Old Town leave little room for a more intrusive lift. Installation takes 3 to 5 days, even in the compact layouts of Stevenage's New Town housing. 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 Stevenage and the surrounding area — from the Old Town and Bedwell to Shephall, Chells and Pin 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.
