Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Faversham

We price each Faversham lift against the job in hand. Travel height between floors, the chosen model and the demands of a medieval or Georgian property all feed into the total, so a domestic through-floor lift typically costs less than a commercial installation. Once we have looked over your home or premises, a written, no-obligation quotation follows, and the first visit is free of charge.

A home lift normally needs no planning permission, being entirely internal. Faversham is the exception that proves the point, though: with around 500 listed buildings and a large conservation area taking in Abbey Street and Court Street, listed-building consent often applies to work touching protected fabric. We assess that from the start and manage the consents and building regulations for you.

Most Faversham fits are complete inside three to five days. The lift is constructed off site and set into a 150mm pit, so the drawn-out shaft-building of a conventional lift never enters a treasured old house. The timetable is agreed with you before we begin, leaving each stage scheduled and the handover date settled in advance.

Yes, and with real care. Faversham's medieval timber-framed houses on Abbey Street and the Georgian homes of Court Street call for a delicate approach, which OnLevel lifts allow. The shallow pit, slim footprint and absence of a machine room let a lift stand beside the staircase with minimal intervention, opening the upper floor while the historic fabric is respected.

It comes down to the house and the household. A stairlift carries one seated user along a single flight, whereas a platform lift travels between floors with a wheelchair, frame or scooter aboard. In Faversham's winding period homes, where a stairlift can struggle on a turning stair, the platform lift is frequently both the more capable and the more sympathetic option.

Indeed we do. Every lift installed across Faversham and the surrounding villages carries our own servicing, from the creekside town centre and Abbey Street out to Ospringe, Preston and Oare. Regular attention keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant with its standards, and an engineer can be called on for any repair or scheduled inspection.

Strikingly little. An OnLevel lift requires no more than a 150mm pit and houses no separate machinery, so a corner or the area beside the stairs is enough. That is what makes it viable inside the narrow, ancient houses around Abbey Street and the Market Place, where a shaft-built passenger lift could never be fitted.

Yes. Our teams are SafeContractor accredited under CN8516, and each Faversham lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard along with Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. The installation is the work of our own trained engineers rather than subcontractors, and every lift is certified and signed off before we hand it over.
