Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Oadby

An Oadby lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a large detached house or a three-storey home 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 Oadby homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. Conservation areas and the occasional listed building are the exception, where external changes can require consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work begins and handle the building-regulations paperwork for you.

Three to five days is typical for an Oadby 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, and the substantial houses of Oadby suit them especially well. With wide halls and generous landings, a lift can be placed discreetly and finished to match the interior. A shallow pit, no machine room and a slim footprint let it serve two or three storeys with light structural work.

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 an Oadby 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 Oadby lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Stoneygate, Knighton, Great Glen and Stoughton, 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 reception room or the space beside the staircase is usually enough. That is how it serves the substantial houses of Oadby, where owners want to stay put rather than downsize.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Oadby 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.
