Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Henley-on-Thames

A Henley lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a Georgian town house or a riverside villa 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 Henley homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The town conservation area near the bridge and the riverside and the many listed Georgian 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 Henley 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. The tall Georgian and Victorian town houses by the bridge suit a lift especially well, with the height and rooms to take one discreetly. Placed with care and finished to the period joinery, it reaches the upper floors on a shallow pit with 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 Henley 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 Henley lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect, test and certify it, across Remenham, Shiplake, Harpsden and Hambleden, and respond quickly should a fault appear. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant.

Very little. Only a shallow 150mm pit and no machinery are needed, so a corner of a reception room or the space by the stair is enough, serving the riverside town houses where owners would sooner adapt than leave the regatta reach.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Henley 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.
