Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Castle Cary

The price depends on the lift type, the height it must travel and the building work involved. A through-floor home lift in a Castle Cary house is usually far less involved than a full commercial shaft lift for a Market House business or station-side venue. We survey the property first, then issue a clear written quotation with no obligation and no surprises buried in the figures.

A home lift fitted inside your Castle Cary house normally needs no planning permission, as it stays within the existing structure and alters nothing outside. If your property is listed or sits within the conservation area around the Round House, additional consent may apply. We help you confirm this with Somerset Council before any work starts, so the approvals are settled in advance.

Most home lift installations in Castle Cary are completed within three to five days from the start of work on site. A simple through-floor lift sits at the quicker end of that range, while larger commercial platform lifts may take a little longer. We confirm a clear timescale at survey, and the rest of your home or premises stays usable throughout.

Yes. The Cary-stone cottages and town houses around Castle Cary suit a home lift well, even where staircases are narrow and the rooms stacked over two or three storeys. The through-floor model needs only a shallow pit and no machine room, so we position it carefully beside the stair and finish the surround to blend into the warm period interior.

The deciding factor is whether the wheelchair travels upstairs with its user. A stairlift suits someone who can move from the chair onto a seat and leave the wheelchair below. Where the wheelchair itself must make the trip, a platform lift is the better choice in a Castle Cary home, raising rider, chair and scooter together between the floors.

Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Castle Cary lift is fitted, our engineers return on a regular plan to inspect, test and certify it, covering Bruton, Wincanton, Ansford and Ditcheat, and respond quickly should a fault arise. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant year after year, well beyond each Glastonbury season.

Surprisingly little. A through-floor home lift takes up roughly the footprint of an armchair on each floor and needs no separate machine room. In a compact Castle Cary cottage with smaller rooms, we measure thoroughly at survey to find the neatest position beside the stair, then finish the lift so it sits comfortably within the available space.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Castle Cary lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard alongside Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. The work is carried out by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and each lift is fully tested, certified and signed off before handover.
