Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Dore

The figure depends on the lift type, the number of floors and the specifics of your house, whether that is a three-storey stone villa near the green or a large detached home towards Bradway. We supply a written quotation with each item set out and no hidden costs, so contact us for an accurate price for your Dore property.

In most cases no. A domestic platform lift is normally permitted development and needs no planning permission. Parts of Dore village fall within a conservation area and some of the older stone houses are listed, so if your home is affected we will advise on any approvals required before the installation goes ahead.

Most home and commercial installations are finished within three to five working days, taking in delivery, fitting, commissioning and the LOLER safety inspection. Because the OnLevel lift arrives factory-built and needs only a shallow pit, a Dore property avoids the weeks of building work a conventional shafted lift would bring. We confirm the schedule in your written quotation before we begin.

Yes, and Dore's substantial detached and three-storey stone houses are exactly the kind of homes our lifts suit. They need no deep pit, no machine room and no major structural work, and they can serve more than two floors. We site the lift beside the stair or run it through the floors, keeping the proportions and stonework of the house undisturbed.

Our lift travels vertically between floors rather than along the staircase, carries wheelchairs and walking aids, adds value and gives a more independent journey. In a tall Dore stone house where a stairlift would mean several separate seats over two or three flights, a single platform lift covering the full height is usually the more practical long-term answer.

Yes. Servicing is included with every OnLevel installation. Once your lift is fitted, our engineers return on a planned maintenance schedule to inspect, test and certify it, and respond quickly if a fault occurs. Regular servicing keeps the lift safe and dependable across Dore, Totley, Bradway and the wider Sheffield area, with the visit pattern arranged with you in advance.

Less than most owners imagine. An OnLevel lift sits within a footprint roughly the size of a large armchair and requires only a shallow pit, so the generous rooms of a Dore stone house leave ample room for one. At the survey we measure the room and the floors above and show you exactly where the lift will go before you commit.

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