Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Taunton

It depends on the type of lift, how many floors it serves and the specifics of your property, which differ between a Victorian terrace near the centre and a newer home at Monkton Heathfield. We provide a detailed written quotation with no hidden charges, so you have the exact price for your Taunton home or business before committing to anything.

In most cases a domestic lift inside your own home counts as permitted development and needs no planning permission. If your Taunton property is listed or stands within one of the town's conservation areas, we will explain whether listed-building consent applies and handle the guidance you need so the project stays on the right side of the regulations.

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 Taunton property avoids the weeks of building work a traditional shafted lift requires. The timeline is confirmed in your written quotation upfront.

Yes. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces around central Taunton suit a platform lift well, as it needs no machine room, no deep pit and only minor structural work. We position the lift to work around the existing staircase and narrow hallway, and finish the car so it sits comfortably within the older interior of the house.

For many Taunton households a platform lift is the stronger long-term answer, since it carries the user vertically between floors and lifts a wheelchair or frame up alongside them rather than leaving aids behind. It also adds value to the property and offers a more dignified, independent experience than a chair tracking along the staircase.

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 should a fault arise. We keep lifts running safely and smoothly across Taunton, Wellington, Norton Fitzwarren, Bishops Lydeard and the surrounding Somerset villages.

Surprisingly little. An OnLevel home lift occupies a footprint about the size of a small armchair and needs only a shallow 150mm pit, so it can be fitted beside the stairs or in a corner without losing a whole room. At survey we measure precisely and confirm the footprint that suits your Taunton home.

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