Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Ware

Ware's homes carry its malting past: the Georgian and timber-framed houses of the High Street and West Street, the Victorian terraces of Musley Hill, the converted maltings along the River Lea, and the 20th-century homes of Westmill and Trinity. As mobility changes, the staircase in any of these homes can become a daily difficulty. A home lift from OnLevel keeps you in your Ware home rather than facing a move. The Georgian houses of the High Street and the tall converted maltings by the Lea 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 riverside conversion gains a lift between floors with limited structural work.

Shops, offices and public buildings across Ware — from the High Street and the Priory to the pharmaceutical campus that succeeded the maltings — have duties under the Equality Act 2010 to provide reasonable access for disabled visitors and staff. In a town of so many period and listed buildings, a commercial OnLevel platform lift is often the least intrusive route to compliance. We work with independent retailers and cafés along Ware High Street and Baldock Street, the offices and laboratories of the local pharmaceutical employers, Ware Priory and other civic venues, care homes and GP surgeries across Musley Hill and Trinity, and the riverside businesses among the old maltings. 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 a sympathetic choice for Ware's older housing, where the Georgian houses of the High Street and the tall converted maltings leave little room for a more intrusive lift. Installation takes 3 to 5 days, even in the irregular layouts of Ware's period homes and riverside conversions. 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 Ware and the surrounding area — from the High Street and Musley Hill to Great Amwell, Stanstead Abbotts and Wareside — 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.
