Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Frome

The price depends on the type of lift, how many floors it serves and the layout of your property, which varies between a stone terrace on Catherine Hill and a newer family home above the town. We provide a full written quotation with no hidden extras, so you have the exact figure for your Frome home or business before agreeing to any work.

A domestic lift inside your own home is usually permitted development and needs no planning permission. Frome has a large historic core with many listed buildings and conservation areas, so if your property is listed or protected we will advise on listed-building consent and guide you through the approvals required before we begin any work.

Most homes and commercial premises are completed within three to five working days, covering delivery, fitting, commissioning and the LOLER safety inspection. Because the OnLevel lift comes factory-built and rests on a shallow 150mm pit, a Frome home avoids the weeks of structural work a conventional shafted lift would require. We confirm the schedule in your written quotation in advance.

Yes. The golden-stone terraces climbing Catherine Hill and the Trinity area are exactly where a platform lift proves its worth, as it needs no machine room, no deep pit and only modest structural work. We plan the lift around the steep period staircase and narrow rooms, then finish the car so it sits comfortably within the older interior.

On Frome's steep terraced streets a platform lift is often the better answer, because it lifts the user vertically between floors and takes a wheelchair or walking frame up with them rather than leaving aids behind. It also adds value to the property and gives a more dignified, independent experience than a chair following the line of the stairs.

Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. After your lift is fitted, our engineers return on a regular maintenance plan to inspect, test and certify it, and respond quickly if a fault arises. We keep lifts safe and smooth across Frome, Beckington, Mells, Nunney, Rode and the surrounding east Somerset villages.

Less than you might think, which matters in Frome's tight hillside terraces. An OnLevel home lift takes a footprint about the size of an armchair and needs only a shallow 150mm pit, so it fits beside the stairs or in a corner without losing a room. We measure carefully at survey and confirm the footprint for your Frome home.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, so their health and safety practices have been independently vetted. Every Frome 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.
