Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Ramsgate

It varies with the lift type, the number of floors and the nature of your property — a four-storey crescent house above the harbour and a St Lawrence terrace rarely cost alike. We survey before quoting, then issue a written figure with no hidden extras. Contact us and we will produce an accurate price for your Ramsgate home or business.

Usually not — a domestic platform lift is normally permitted development with no application needed. The position shifts inside the Ramsgate conservation areas around the Royal Harbour and the crescents, or if your house is listed, where external work may require consent. We confirm the designation for your address and guide you through any approvals before starting.

Most domestic and commercial installations finish within three to five working days, covering delivery, fitting, commissioning and the LOLER safety inspection. Since the OnLevel lift arrives factory-built and needs only a shallow 150mm pit, a Ramsgate property avoids the weeks of structural work a shafted lift would require. We set out the exact schedule in your written quotation beforehand.

Yes. The grand Georgian crescent houses above the Royal Harbour are well suited to our lifts, which require no pit, no machine room and no major structural change. The cabin can stand beside the staircase or rise through the floors, keeping the period interior intact. We survey the townhouse first and confirm the best arrangement before quoting on your Ramsgate home.

Our lift travels vertically between floors rather than along the staircase. It carries a wheelchair or walking aid, raises the property's value and offers a more dignified, independent journey. For many Ramsgate households planning to stay in a tall crescent home for the long term, that makes the platform lift the stronger choice.

Yes. Servicing is built into every OnLevel installation. After your lift goes 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 Ramsgate, Broadstairs, St Lawrence and the wider Thanet area for years to come.

Often much less than people imagine. Many cabins use no more floor than a small armchair, while the through-floor versions take none of the landing by rising through the ceiling. That keeps them viable even in the narrower harbour-side cottages. We measure on site and show you precisely where the lift will sit in your Ramsgate home before any work begins.

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