Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Daventry

The cost depends on the type of lift, the height it travels and the 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 on account of its structure and finishes. We survey your Daventry property, run through the options with you and supply a clear written quotation with no obligation and no hidden extras.

Most domestic lifts fit inside the home and need no planning permission, as the work falls under permitted development. An external lift, or any work to a listed building or within a conservation area near the market square, may require consent from West Northamptonshire Council. We know the local requirements and will guide you through any approval the job calls for before the installation begins on your property.

A straightforward home lift is usually fitted within three to five days once the survey is done and the unit has been built for your property. A larger commercial passenger lift takes longer because of the structural and finishing work involved. Our own engineers carry out the whole installation in Daventry, so we control the timetable and keep disruption to your home or business to a minimum.

Yes. The older properties around Daventry's market square can have tight, awkward layouts, but a platform lift is designed for just these conditions. It needs only a shallow base and a small footprint, and a through-floor model can rise straight up through the ceiling where there is no room for a long stairlift run. We survey the property carefully and place the lift to suit its existing layout.

It often is. A stairlift suits a person who can move onto a seat and follow the staircase line, but a platform lift carries a wheelchair user with their chair, which a rail-mounted seat cannot do. For a Daventry household planning ahead, a platform lift offers greater independence and generally adds more to the value of the home when the time eventually comes to sell.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Daventry, from Weedon Bec and Long Buckby through to Braunston, Badby and Welton. Regular servicing keeps the lift safe, dependable and compliant with EN 81-41, and our engineers carry common parts to fix most faults on the first visit. We offer planned maintenance contracts so your lift stays checked and certified year after year.

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

Yes. We hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516 and work to EN 81-41 for platform lifts and to Part M and BS 8300:2018 for accessible buildings. Every Daventry installation uses 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, with full documentation supplied for your records.
