Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Bishop's Castle

There is no flat rate, because the figure turns on the lift you pick, the number of floors and the layout of your Bishop's Castle property. We survey the house, weigh up the options on the steep High Street or out toward Colebatch, and issue a written quotation with every line of cost set out plainly. Contact us for an accurate price for your home or business.

Usually not. An internal domestic lift normally falls under permitted development, since the work is contained inside the building. Where your Bishop's Castle home lies within the town's conservation area or is a listed timber-framed property, we establish what consent is required and walk you through it, so the position is clear well before any installation date is agreed.

Most installations in Bishop's Castle take three to five working days, taking in delivery, fitting, commissioning and the LOLER safety inspection. Since the OnLevel lift comes factory-built and needs only a shallow base instead of a deep pit, you sidestep the weeks of structural disruption a conventional shafted lift involves. We confirm the schedule in your written quotation before any work starts.

Yes. The town's leaning, timber-framed houses — the House on Crutches among the most famous — call for a careful, light-touch approach, and our lifts need no pit, machine room or heavy structural alteration. We survey the frame and floors first, then select a model that fits the space and respects the historic timbers, so the character of the building is kept intact.

Each suits different needs, but a platform lift raises you upright between full floors instead of following the stairs, and it carries a wheelchair, frame or scooter alongside you. It adds value to the property and gives a more independent, dignified ride. For many Bishop's Castle households thinking years ahead, that combination makes the platform lift the more useful long-term option over a stairlift.

Yes. Servicing comes as part of every OnLevel installation. After your lift is fitted, our engineers return on a planned maintenance schedule to inspect, test and certify it, and respond quickly should a fault arise. Regular servicing keeps the lift safe, smooth and compliant across Bishop's Castle, Lydham, Clun, Colebatch and the border villages around the Kerry Ridgeway.

Surprisingly little. A home lift occupies roughly the footprint of a single armchair and travels up through a small ceiling opening, so it fits a corner, a cupboard recess or the side of the staircase. On our Bishop's Castle survey we measure both levels and the rise between them, then suggest a model that fits without surrendering the room you rely on each day.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, so their health and safety practices have been independently vetted. Every Bishop's Castle lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard alongside Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018, fitted by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and fully tested, certified and signed off before handover.
