Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Thetford

Each Thetford quotation is built around the property, not a price list. The number of floors served, the model chosen and the type of house — a riverside cottage near the Priory differs from a 1960s overspill home — all affect the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift normally costs less than a commercial scheme. We survey first and then provide the quotation in writing, free and with no obligation.

For most Thetford homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The conservation area around the river, the Priory and the Ancient House and the town's listed buildings are the exceptions, 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 Thetford 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. Thetford sets timber-framed and riverside houses near the Priory beside Victorian terraces and the 1960s overspill estates, 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 house is listed or a recent build.

Both have their place, and the right choice follows the user. A stairlift suits one person on a single flight who does not need to bring a wheelchair. A platform lift suits anyone who must take a wheelchair or scooter to the upper floor, carrying user and aid together. Many Thetford households choose the lift so the house works whatever the future holds.

Yes. A maintenance plan comes with every lift we install. Once a lift is fitted in Thetford, we look after it from the town centre out to Croxton, Mundford and Brandon, returning for scheduled safety checks and ready to attend if a repair is needed. Regular servicing keeps the lift reliable and compliant with the relevant standards.

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 riverside cottages and overspill houses of Thetford, where a traditional shafted lift simply could not be built.

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