Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Ludlow

The price of a platform lift in Ludlow varies with the type of lift, the number of floors served and the building work your property requires. 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 complete cost for your Ludlow property before you commit to the work.

Most internal home lifts in Ludlow do not require planning permission, since the work happens inside the property as a permitted improvement. The town has many listed and conservation-area buildings, however, so period houses near Broad Street or the Castle may be exceptions, and external lifts can need consent. We advise on the right approach for your property and deal with Shropshire Council where any approval is necessary.

A typical lift installation in Ludlow takes three to five days from start to finish. The precise duration depends on the lift type and whether any structural alterations are required. We set out a clear timetable before starting, work tidily to keep disruption to your Ludlow home or business to a minimum, and clear up fully each day so the rest of the property stays usable while we are on site.

Yes. Ludlow's timber-framed and listed houses bring their own challenges, with uneven floors, steep stairs and protected fabric, and our compact lifts are built to work within them. We survey the structure carefully and select a discreet position that protects the historic interior. Because no deep pit or machine room is needed, the lift can be added sensitively while still giving dependable access between floors.

It depends on your circumstances. A stairlift carries one seated person along the stairs and costs less to install. A platform lift moves you between floors with a wheelchair, frame or scooter, offers a more comfortable ride and adds value to a Ludlow property. For households planning long term, or anyone with a wheelchair user at home, the platform lift is generally the more worthwhile choice.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Ludlow, Leominster, Craven Arms, Bromfield and Onibury, and we can also take on lifts fitted by other companies. Our plans cover regular safety inspections to EN 81-41, scheduled servicing and a prompt call-out service when needed. Keeping your lift on a maintenance schedule protects its warranty and keeps it operating safely across the wider south Shropshire area.

Less than most Ludlow homeowners imagine. A home platform lift takes up a footprint comparable to 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. During our survey we measure your hallway, landing or chosen corner and confirm precisely how the lift will fit within your period or modern property.

Yes. Our Ludlow installations are completed by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and we hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516. Every lift meets EN 81-41 for vertical lifting platforms, Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018 for commercial projects. 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.
