Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Kettering

It depends on the lift you choose, the height it travels and the building work your property needs. A through-floor home lift sits at the more affordable end, while a fully enclosed commercial passenger lift costs more because of the structure and finishes required. We carry out a survey of your Kettering property, explain the choices clearly and provide a written quotation with no obligation and no hidden charges.

Most lifts installed inside the home need no planning permission, since the work counts as permitted development. An external lift, or any work to a listed building or within a conservation area near the town centre, may require consent from North Northamptonshire Council. We are familiar with the local rules and will handle any approval the project requires, so the installation proceeds without complication or unexpected delay.

A standard home lift is generally installed within three to five days once the survey is complete and the unit has been built to fit your property. A larger commercial passenger lift takes more time because of the structural and finishing work involved. Our own engineers handle every stage of the installation in Kettering, which lets us keep to the agreed schedule and limit disruption to your home or business.

Yes. The shoe-worker terraces across Kettering are narrow, but a platform lift is built for exactly these conditions. It needs only a shallow base and a small footprint, and a through-floor version can travel straight up through the ceiling where a long stairlift run simply will not fit. We assess the property carefully and position the lift to suit the existing layout of your home.

Frequently it is. A stairlift suits someone who can move onto a seat and ride the line of the staircase, but a platform lift carries a wheelchair user together with their chair, which a rail-mounted seat cannot manage. For a Kettering household thinking about the longer term, a platform lift gives greater independence and usually adds more to the value of the property over time.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Kettering, from Barton Seagrave and Burton Latimer through to Rothwell, Desborough and Geddington. Regular servicing keeps the lift safe, dependable and compliant with EN 81-41, and our engineers carry common parts to resolve most faults on the first visit. We offer planned maintenance contracts so your lift stays checked and certified year after year.

Less than many people imagine. A compact through-floor lift occupies roughly the footprint of a small armchair on each floor, and a shaft-style home lift tucks neatly against an existing wall. No separate machine room or deep excavation is needed. When we survey your Kettering home, we measure the available space and suggest the model that fits comfortably without making the rooms feel crowded.

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 Kettering installation is carried out 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, with full documentation supplied for your records.
