Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation York

The price depends on the style of lift, how many floors it serves and the layout of your property, so a city-centre terrace near the walls and a larger home in Haxby will not cost the same. We give you a clear written quotation with no hidden extras after surveying your York home or premises, so you know the full figure before deciding anything.

A domestic platform lift is usually treated as permitted development and needs no planning permission. York does, however, have many listed buildings and conservation areas inside the medieval walls, and if your property falls within one we will check what consent is required and guide you through it before any work is booked or any materials are ordered.

Most homes and businesses in York are completed within three to five working days, covering delivery, fitting, commissioning and the LOLER safety inspection. Because the OnLevel lift arrives factory-built and needs only a shallow 150mm pit, a York property avoids the weeks of structural work a fully shafted lift would demand. The timeline is confirmed in your written quotation up front.

Yes. The tall, narrow terraces common inside the York walls suit our lifts well, because they need no pit beyond a shallow recess, no machine room and no major structural change. We work within the proportions of period rooms, fitting the lift against an existing wall or beside the stairs so the original character of the house is kept intact.

Our lift travels vertically between floors instead of tracking the staircase, so it carries wheelchairs and walking aids, leaves the stairs clear for everyone else and adds value to the property. For many York residents who want a long-term answer rather than a quick fix, that combination makes the platform lift the more sensible choice for their home.

Yes. Servicing comes as part of every OnLevel installation. Once your lift is running, our engineers return on a planned maintenance schedule to inspect, test and certify it, and we respond quickly if a fault appears. We keep lifts safe, smooth and compliant for customers across York, Acomb, Haxby, Fulford and the surrounding villages all year round.

Less than most people expect. A home platform lift takes a footprint similar to a small armchair and only needs a shallow 150mm recess rather than a deep pit, which matters in the snug rooms of a city terrace. During the survey we measure your hallway and landing and confirm exactly where the lift will sit before quoting.

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