Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Broadstairs

It depends on the lift type, the number of floors and the character of your property — a cliff-top Victorian villa and a St Peter's cottage seldom price the same. We survey before quoting and then give you a written figure with no hidden extras. Contact us and we will work out an accurate cost for your Broadstairs home or business.

In most cases no — a domestic platform lift is generally permitted development needing no application. It can differ inside the Broadstairs and St Peter's conservation areas, or if your villa above Viking Bay is listed, where alterations may need consent. We confirm the designation that applies to your address and steer you through any approvals first.

Most domestic and commercial jobs finish within three to five working days, taking in delivery, fitting, commissioning and the LOLER safety inspection. As the OnLevel lift arrives factory-built and requires only a shallow 150mm pit, a Broadstairs property avoids the weeks of structural work a shafted lift would need. We set out the precise schedule in your written quotation.

Yes. The tall Victorian houses above Viking Bay are well suited to our lifts, which need no pit, no machine room and no major structural change. The cabin can sit beside the staircase or rise through the floors via a through-floor model that leaves the period stair intact. We survey the villa first and confirm the best route before quoting.

Our lift travels vertically between floors instead of running along the stairs. It carries a wheelchair or walking aid, raises the value of the property and offers a more dignified, independent journey. For many Broadstairs households hoping to stay in a tall seafront home for the long term, that makes the platform lift the stronger option.

Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. After your lift goes in, our engineers return on a scheduled maintenance plan to inspect, test and certify it, and respond quickly to any fault. Regular servicing keeps the lift safe, smooth and compliant across Broadstairs, St Peter's, Kingsgate and the wider Thanet area for the long haul.

Often surprisingly little. Many cabins occupy no more floor than a single armchair, while the through-floor versions take none of the landing by rising through the ceiling. That keeps them workable even in the more compact rooms of old St Peter's. We measure on site and show you precisely where the lift will go in your Broadstairs home before any work begins.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, so their health and safety practices have been independently vetted. Every Broadstairs lift is built to the EN 81-41 standard alongside Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018, fitted by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and fully tested, certified and signed off before handover.
