Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Roade

The cost reflects the type of lift, how many floors it serves and the specifics of your Roade property, since an older cottage near the church differs from a modern estate house. We always survey before pricing and then send a written quotation with no hidden extras. Get in touch and we will give you an accurate figure for your home or business in the village.

An internal home lift inside an existing house rarely needs planning permission, since the work remains within the building. Consent may apply to an external lift, a listed property, or a home in a conservation area. We advise on this at the survey, and where permission is genuinely required we help you prepare what West Northamptonshire Council expects of you.

Most domestic lifts in Roade are installed within three to five working days once the survey is finished and the lift has been manufactured for your home. A simple through-floor lift can be quicker, while a commercial passenger lift with extra building work takes longer. We agree a clear timetable before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect throughout.

Yes. The interwar and post-war semis common around the village suit a home lift well, since their squared layouts give a steady vertical run between the floors. We look at the landing above and the room beneath, choose a footprint that fits the plan, and install with minimal disruption so your Roade home stays comfortable and usable while the work is carried out.

Both have their place. A stairlift costs less and follows the staircase, whereas a platform lift travels between floors and lets you bring a wheelchair, frame or scooter. For Roade homeowners wanting lasting independence, a cleaner look and something that adds to the value of the house, a platform lift is generally the better long-term choice for the years ahead.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Roade, Ashton, Hartwell, Blisworth and Stoke Bruerne, with planned visits that keep the lift safe and dependable. Our engineers cover the village and the canal-side settlements nearby, and our service agreements include regular inspection, testing and priority callout, so help is close at hand if anything ever needs attention.

Less than people often assume. A through-floor lift needs only a compact footprint and a shallow recess instead of a deep pit, and a beside-the-stairs lift frequently fits the landing space a Roade house already offers. At the survey we measure both floors and recommend a model sized to the room you can spare, whether in an older cottage or a roomier modern home.

Yes. We are SafeContractor accredited (CN8516) and our lifts meet EN 81-41, Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. Every Roade installation is completed by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and each lift is tested, certified and signed off before handover, so you receive a fully compliant installation with clear paperwork to match.
