Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Church Stretton

The cost of a platform lift in Church Stretton depends on the lift type, the number of floors served and the building work your property needs. A simple home lift is the most affordable option, while a fully enclosed commercial passenger lift costs more. After a free site survey we provide a fixed written quotation, so you know the full price for your Church Stretton property before committing to any work.

Most internal home lifts in Church Stretton do not need planning permission, as the work is inside the property and treated as a permitted improvement. Listed villas and any external lift can be exceptions requiring consent, and parts of the town sit within sensitive landscape areas. We advise on the best approach for your particular property and deal with Shropshire Council where any approval turns out to be necessary.

A typical lift installation in Church Stretton takes three to five days from start to finish. The exact time depends on the lift you choose and whether any structural work is required. We agree a clear schedule before we begin, work cleanly to keep disruption to your Church Stretton home or business low, and tidy thoroughly each day so the rest of the property stays usable throughout the job.

Yes. Church Stretton's tall Edwardian and Victorian villas often have steep, multi-flight staircases and generous but vertical layouts, and our compact lifts suit those houses well. We survey the floor structure and choose a discreet position that respects the resort-era character. Because no deep pit or machine room is required, the lift is added neatly while giving reliable access to every floor of the house.

It depends on your needs. A stairlift carries one seated person along the stairs and costs less to fit. A platform lift moves you between floors with a wheelchair, frame or scooter, gives a more comfortable journey and adds value to a Church Stretton home. For households planning long term, or where someone uses a wheelchair, the platform lift is generally the more worthwhile and durable choice.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Church Stretton, All Stretton, Little Stretton, Craven Arms and Cardington, and we can also take on lifts fitted by other companies. Our plans include regular safety inspections to EN 81-41, scheduled servicing and a prompt call-out service. Keeping your lift on a maintenance schedule protects its warranty and keeps it running safely across the Shropshire Hills for many years.

Less than most Church Stretton homeowners imagine. A home platform lift takes up a footprint about the size of a small armchair, and a through-floor model needs only a matching space on each floor. No separate machine room or deep excavated pit is required. At the survey we measure your hallway, landing or chosen corner and confirm exactly how the lift will fit within your villa or modern home.

Yes. Our Church Stretton installations are carried out by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and we are SafeContractor accredited under CN8516. Every lift meets EN 81-41 for vertical lifting platforms, Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018 for commercial work. Each installation is tested, certified and signed off before handover, so you receive full documentation and complete confidence that the work is safe and fully compliant.
