Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Exton

The price depends on the type of lift, the travel height and how much building work is required. A simple home lift between two floors is usually the most affordable, while an enclosed commercial platform lift with greater travel costs more. We survey your Exton property first and then issue a fixed written quotation, so the price you agree at the start is the price you pay when the lift is complete.

An internal home lift or through-floor lift seldom needs planning permission, as the work stays inside the building. However, Exton is a conservation village, and an external lift or any change to a listed estate cottage may require consent. We check this at the survey and, where planning or building regulations approval is needed, we guide you through the process and handle the application for you.

Most home and through-floor lifts in Exton are installed within three to five days once the lift has been manufactured and delivered. A simple two-floor domestic lift can be quicker, while a commercial platform lift involving structural or external work takes a little longer. We set out a clear timescale in your quotation, so you know exactly how long the work will take before it begins.

Yes. The thatched and stone cottages around the green often have low ceilings and small rooms, but a self-supporting home lift carries its own rail and needs only a shallow pit, so it rarely disturbs the historic fabric. We survey the cottage closely, choose a footprint that fits the room and place the lift where it serves both floors while protecting the character that makes Exton special.

It depends on what you need. A stairlift suits someone who can transfer to a seat and only requires help up the staircase. A platform lift is better for a wheelchair user, for carrying shopping, or for moving two people while keeping the Exton staircase clear. We talk both options through honestly at the survey so you can choose the solution that genuinely fits your home and lifestyle.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Exton, Greetham, Cottesmore, Empingham and out toward Oakham, with planned visits that keep each lift safe and dependable. Servicing is required under EN 81-41, and our engineers carry the usual spares to put most problems right on the first visit. We can also take on the maintenance of lifts originally installed by other firms locally.

Less than most homeowners expect. A compact home lift fits within roughly the footprint of a small armchair and needs only a shallow 150mm pit, so it tucks into a corner, a cupboard or an unused area beside the stairs. At the Exton survey we measure both floors and the ceiling aperture above, then recommend the position that gives easy access while keeping the room comfortable to use.

Yes. We are SafeContractor accredited (CN8516) and use our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, so the same engineers see your Exton job through from survey to completion. Every lift is installed to EN 81-41, meets Part M and BS 8300:2018 for accessible commercial work, and is tested, certified and signed off before handover, so you receive full documentation and a lift you can depend on.
