Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Thame

A Thame lift is priced to the property, not from a fixed scale. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a High Street town house or a modern family home 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 Thame homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The town conservation area along the High Street and its many listed timber-framed and 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 Thame 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 timber-framed house on Thame's broad market street, or a Georgian frontage near the church, takes a lift with ease, set into a corner or by the stair and finished to the period. A shallow pit, no machine room and a slim footprint do the rest 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 Thame 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 Thame lift is fitted, our engineers come back on a regular plan to inspect, test and certify it, across Towersey, Long Crendon, Haddenham and Chinnor, 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 mean a corner or the space by the stair is enough, serving the coaching-yard cottages off the wide market street where a shafted lift simply will not fit.

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