Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Sandwich

It depends on the lift type, the number of floors and the particulars of your property — a timber-framed house near the Barbican and a Woodnesborough family home rarely cost the same. We survey before quoting and then give you a written figure with no hidden extras. Contact us and we will produce an accurate price for your Sandwich home or business.

Usually not — a domestic platform lift normally counts as permitted development with no application required. Sandwich's medieval core is a conservation area, though, and many houses are listed, so external alterations there may need consent. We check the designation that applies to your address near the Barbican or the Quay and guide you through any approvals before work starts.

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 arrives factory-built and needs only a shallow 150mm pit, a Sandwich property avoids the weeks of structural work a shafted lift demands. We set out the full timeline in your written quotation in advance.

Yes, and these old houses near the Barbican are exactly where our lifts prove their worth. With no pit, no machine room and no need for major structural change, the cabin works within the tight medieval plan, or rises through the floors to leave the original stair untouched. We survey the timber-framed house first and confirm the best route before quoting on your Sandwich home.

Our lift travels vertically between floors rather than along the staircase. It takes a wheelchair or walking aid aboard, raises the property's value and gives a more dignified, independent journey. For many Sandwich residents intending to stay in a historic medieval-town home for the long term, that makes the platform lift the stronger choice.

Yes. Servicing is included with every OnLevel installation. Once your lift is fitted, 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 Sandwich, Eastry, Ash and the wider Dover district for years to come.

Often much less than people imagine. Many cabins take up no more floor than a small armchair, while the through-floor versions claim none of the landing by rising through the ceiling. That keeps them workable even in the tight medieval houses near the Quay. We measure on site and show you exactly where the lift will stand in your Sandwich home before starting.

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