Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Shifnal

The cost of a platform lift in Shifnal depends on the type of lift, the number of floors served and the building work your property requires. A basic home lift is the most affordable choice, while a fully enclosed commercial passenger lift costs more. After a free site survey we provide a fixed written quotation, so you see the complete price for your Shifnal property before deciding to proceed with any work.

Most internal home lifts in Shifnal do not require planning permission, as the work is contained within the property as a permitted improvement. Listed Tudor or Georgian buildings near St Andrew's church and any external lift can be exceptions that need consent. We advise on the right position for your specific property and liaise with Shropshire Council wherever an approval proves necessary for the installation to go ahead.

A typical lift installation in Shifnal takes three to five days from start to finish. The exact time 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 Shifnal 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. Shifnal's Tudor and timber-framed houses can have sloping floors, narrow stairs and protected fabric, and our compact lifts are made to cope with exactly those conditions. We survey the structure with care and choose a discreet position that respects the historic interior. As no deep pit or machine room is needed, the lift is added sensitively to the building while still giving dependable access between the floors.

It depends on your needs. A stairlift carries one seated person along the stairs and is cheaper to install. A platform lift moves you between floors with a wheelchair, frame or scooter, gives a more dignified ride and adds value to a Shifnal property. For anyone planning long term, or with a wheelchair user in the household, the platform lift is usually the stronger long-term choice.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Shifnal, Telford, Albrighton, Sheriffhales and Priorslee, and we can also take on lifts fitted by other firms. Our plans cover regular safety inspections to EN 81-41, scheduled servicing and a responsive call-out service. Keeping your lift on a maintenance schedule protects its warranty and keeps it running safely across the wider eastern Shropshire area for many years to come.

Less than most Shifnal homeowners expect. A home platform lift takes up a footprint roughly equal to a small armchair, and a through-floor model needs only a matching area on each floor. There is no requirement for a separate machine room or a deep excavated pit. During the survey we measure your hallway, landing or chosen corner and confirm precisely how the lift will sit within your property.

Yes. Our Shifnal 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 peace of mind that the work is safe and compliant.
