Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Margate

The figure depends on the lift type, the number of floors and the particulars of your property — a seafront terrace by the harbour and a Garlinge family home rarely match. We survey first, then provide a written quotation with no hidden costs. Get in touch and we will calculate an accurate price for your Margate home or business.

Usually not — a domestic platform lift normally falls under permitted development with no application required. The exception is the Margate Old Town and seafront conservation areas, or a listed Regency terrace, where external changes may call for consent. We check which designation covers your address and walk you through any approvals before work gets under way.

Most homes and commercial sites are completed within three to five working days, including delivery, fitting, commissioning and the LOLER safety inspection. Because the OnLevel lift comes factory-built and needs only a shallow 150mm pit, a Margate property is spared the weeks of structural work a shafted lift demands. The full timeline is laid out in your written quotation in advance.

Yes. The tall Regency and Georgian townhouses along the Margate seafront suit our lifts well, since they need no pit, no machine room and no major structural alteration. The cabin can sit beside the staircase or travel through the floors, preserving the period interior. We survey the townhouse first and confirm the neatest arrangement before quoting on your Margate home.

Our lift travels vertically between floors rather than along the staircase. It takes a wheelchair or walking aid aboard, lifts the value of the property and gives a more dignified, independent ride. For many Margate residents intending to remain in a tall seafront home for years to come, that makes the platform lift the better answer.

Yes. Servicing is included with every OnLevel installation. Once your lift is in, our engineers return on a planned maintenance schedule to inspect, test and certify it, and respond quickly to any fault. Regular servicing keeps the lift safe, smooth and compliant across Margate, Cliftonville, Westbrook and the wider Thanet area for the long term.

Generally far less than expected. Many cabins take up no more floor than a small armchair, and the through-floor models claim none of the landing by passing through the ceiling. That keeps them practical even in the tight rooms of Old Town cottages. We measure on site and show you exactly where the lift will stand in your Margate home before starting.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, so their health and safety practices have been independently vetted. Every Margate 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.
