Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Charlbury

A Charlbury lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a stone cottage or a hillside town house all shape the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial installation. We survey the property first, then provide a written, no-obligation quotation at no charge.

For most Charlbury homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The town conservation area, the Cotswolds and Wychwood settings and the listed stone buildings are the exception, where internal changes to a listed home can also require consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work begins and handle the conservation and listed-building paperwork for you.

Three to five days is typical for a Charlbury installation. Because the lift arrives factory-built and sits in a shallow 150mm pit, the home avoids the weeks of shaft and masonry work a conventional lift would involve. We agree the timetable with you in advance, so each stage is planned and the completion date is clear from the very start.

Yes. A tall stone cottage on Charlbury's sloping streets, or a converted barn out toward Wychwood, takes a lift readily, eased in and faced to the local stone. It reaches the upper floor on a shallow pit with only light work.

It depends on whether a wheelchair has to travel. A stairlift carries a seated rider and leaves the wheelchair below. A platform lift carries the wheelchair or scooter up with the user, between the floors. For a Charlbury home where a wheelchair is in use, the lift is generally the more capable and longer-lasting choice.

Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Charlbury lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect, test and certify it, across Finstock, Stonesfield, Spelsbury and Chadlington, and respond quickly should a fault appear. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant.

Very little. A shallow 150mm pit and no machinery are all it asks, so a corner or the space by the stair will serve, fitting the sloping stone streets above the Evenlode where the old walls leave no room for a shafted lift.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Charlbury lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard alongside Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. The work is carried out by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and each lift is fully tested, certified and signed off before handover.
