Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Crosby

Crosby lifts are quoted one by one, to the property rather than a list. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a grand sea-captains' villa or a Waterloo terrace 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 Crosby homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. Conservation areas such as Blundellsands and Little Crosby and listed buildings 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 Crosby 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. Crosby ranges from sea-captains' villas in Blundellsands to the terraced streets of Waterloo and the modern homes of Thornton, 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 captain's villa or a period terrace.

It turns on the wheelchair. A stairlift seats the user and leaves any wheelchair at the foot of the stairs. A platform lift takes the wheelchair or scooter up with its user, floor to floor. For a Crosby home where a wheelchair is in daily use, the lift is generally the more capable and longer-lasting choice.

Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Crosby lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Waterloo, Blundellsands, Great Crosby and Thornton, 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 terraced streets of Waterloo and the big houses of Blundellsands, where a traditional shafted lift simply could not be built.

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