Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Corby

The cost reflects the type of lift, the distance it travels and the amount of building work your property needs. A through-floor home lift sits at the lower end of the range, while a fully enclosed commercial passenger lift costs more given its structure and finishes. We survey your Corby property, run through the options with you and provide a clear written quotation with no obligation and no hidden costs.

Most home lifts fit inside the property and require no planning permission, as the work falls within permitted development. An external lift, or any work to a listed building or within a conservation area, may need consent from North Northamptonshire Council. We understand the local requirements and will manage any approval the project calls for, so your installation goes ahead smoothly and without unexpected hold-ups along the way.

A typical home lift is usually fitted within three to five days once the survey is finished and the unit has been built for your property. A larger commercial passenger lift takes longer owing to the structural and finishing work involved. Our own engineers carry out the complete installation in Corby, which means we control the timetable and keep disruption to your home or business firmly to a minimum.

Yes. The planned estate houses built for Corby's steelworkers have compact layouts, but a platform lift is designed to work within them. It needs only a shallow base and a modest footprint, and a through-floor model can rise straight up through the ceiling where a long stairlift run would not fit. We survey the property thoroughly and position the lift to suit its existing arrangement of rooms.

Often it is. A stairlift suits a person who can transfer onto a seat and ride the staircase line, but a platform lift carries a wheelchair user along with their chair, something a seat on a rail cannot do. For a Corby family planning for the future, a platform lift offers more independence and generally adds greater value to the home when it eventually comes to sell.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Corby, from Weldon and Gretton through to Cottingham, Stanion and Great Oakley. Regular servicing keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant with EN 81-41, and our engineers carry common parts so most faults are fixed on the first visit. We offer planned maintenance contracts so your lift remains checked and certified year after year.

Less than most people would guess. A compact through-floor lift takes up roughly the footprint of a small armchair on each level, and a shaft-style home lift sits neatly against an existing wall. There is no requirement for a separate machine room or a deep pit. When we survey your Corby home, we measure the available space and recommend the model that fits without crowding your rooms.

Yes. We are SafeContractor accredited under CN8516 and work to EN 81-41 for platform lifts and to Part M and BS 8300:2018 for accessible buildings. Every Corby installation is completed by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, so the same engineers survey, fit and commission your lift. The work is tested, certified and signed off before handover, and you receive full documentation for your records.
