Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Hinckley

A Hinckley lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a knitter's cottage or a Burbage house all shape the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial installation. We survey the property first, then provide a written, no-obligation quotation at no charge.

For most Hinckley homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. Conservation areas and listed buildings, including the framework-knitters' cottages, are the exception, where external changes can require consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work begins and handle the conservation and building-regulations paperwork for you.

Three to five days is typical for a Hinckley installation. Because the lift arrives factory-built and sits in a shallow 150mm pit, the home avoids the weeks of shaft and masonry work a conventional lift would involve. We agree the timetable with you in advance, so each stage is planned and the completion date is clear from the very start.

Yes. Hinckley sets long-windowed framework-knitters' cottages and brick terraces beside the larger houses of Burbage, and OnLevel lifts suit them all. A shallow pit, no machine room and a slim footprint let a lift stand beside the stairs with light work, whether the home is a cottage or a larger house.

It depends on whether a wheelchair has to travel. A stairlift carries a seated rider and leaves the wheelchair below. A platform lift carries the wheelchair or scooter up with the user, between the floors. For a Hinckley home where a wheelchair is in use, the lift is generally the more capable and longer-lasting choice.

Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Hinckley lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Burbage, Barwell, Stoke Golding and Sapcote, and respond quickly should a fault appear. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant.

Very little. The OnLevel lift asks only for a shallow 150mm pit and houses no separate machinery, so a corner of a room or the space beside the staircase is usually enough. That is how it fits the long-windowed framework-knitters' cottages of the town, where a traditional shafted lift simply could not be built.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Hinckley lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard alongside Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. The work is carried out by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and each lift is fully tested, certified and signed off before handover.
