Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Settle

The cost reflects the type of lift, the number of floors it serves, and the specific layout of your property. A straightforward two-floor home lift differs in price from a larger commercial passenger lift. We survey your Settle home or business and supply a clear written quotation with no hidden charges, so the full figure is known before you decide whether to go ahead.

Usually not. A domestic platform lift is generally permitted development because the work stays within the property, so no planning permission is required. If your Settle home is listed, or stands inside a Dales conservation area near the market square, we will set out precisely which consents apply and help you obtain them before the installation gets under way.

Most domestic and commercial installations take three to five working days, including delivery, fitting, commissioning and the LOLER safety inspection. Because the OnLevel lift comes factory-built and needs only a shallow pit, a Settle property is spared the weeks of structural building that a conventional shafted lift would require. We confirm the full timeline in your written quotation before any work begins on site.

Yes. Because our lifts need no deep pit, no machine room and no major structural change, they suit the thick-walled Dales stone cottages found throughout Settle and the surrounding villages. We survey the cottage first, plan a route around the solid walls and beams, and install a lift that works with the building's character rather than against it, restoring full access between floors.

A platform lift travels vertically between floors instead of running along the staircase, and it carries a wheelchair, frame or scooter with you. It leaves the stairs clear for the rest of the family, adds value to the home, and provides a more dignified journey. For many Settle residents planning ahead, that combination makes it the stronger long-term option.

Yes. Servicing forms part of every OnLevel installation. After your lift is fitted, our engineers return on a regular maintenance plan to inspect, test and certify it, and we respond quickly should a fault occur. We keep lifts safe, smooth and compliant across Settle, Giggleswick, Langcliffe, Long Preston and the wider Ribblesdale area, so yours stays dependable year after year.

Surprisingly little. A compact OnLevel home lift takes up a footprint roughly the size of an armchair and can be tucked beside the stairs or into a corner, needing only a shallow pit rather than a full shaft. When we survey your Settle home we measure the room available and confirm the most efficient position before any installation is scheduled.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, so their health and safety practices are independently vetted. Every Settle lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard alongside Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018, and is fitted by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors. Each installation is tested, certified and signed off before handover, giving you a fully compliant lift.
