Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Burntwood

The cost of a platform lift in Burntwood depends on how many floors it serves, the model and finish you choose, and any preparation your property requires. Many of the town's family homes need only modest groundwork, which we confirm on a site visit. We then provide a clear written quotation covering everything included, so you can plan with confidence and know exactly what your installation will cost before any work goes ahead.

Most lifts in Burntwood are installed inside the home and need no planning permission, as internal work normally falls under permitted development. Things can differ for listed buildings or where external work is involved, in which case consent may apply. We are familiar with Lichfield District planning rules and will advise you early, so any approvals are sorted well before your installation date arrives.

Our engineers usually install a home or platform lift in Burntwood within three to five days once preparation is complete. A modern home near Chasetown can often be quicker, while older or more complex jobs may take a little longer. We confirm a realistic timescale at survey and plan the work carefully so disruption to your household or business is kept to a minimum throughout.

Yes, where a bungalow has been extended upwards or has a loft conversion, a compact home lift provides easy access to the new floor. It rises vertically on its own rail, needs only a shallow pit and no machine room, and tucks into a corner without major building work. Burntwood has many extended bungalows, and we survey each one to find the ideal position.

It depends on your home and how you will use it. A stairlift suits many Burntwood houses and follows the staircase neatly, but a home lift offers an enclosed cabin and room for a wheelchair, which some households prefer. We assess your staircase, your available space and your needs before recommending the option that genuinely works best for you rather than pushing a single solution.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Burntwood and the surrounding area, including Chasetown, Hammerwich, Lichfield and the estates towards Norton Canes. Regular servicing keeps your lift safe, reliable and within warranty. Our engineers carry common parts with them, so most maintenance visits and minor repairs are completed in a single appointment without leaving you waiting long for your lift to be back in use.

Less than most Burntwood homeowners expect. A home lift takes up roughly the footprint of an armchair and needs only a shallow 150mm pit, so it fits inside an existing room or stairwell without major rebuilding. With no separate machine room needed, even smaller family homes can usually accommodate one. We measure the space accurately at survey and confirm the most suitable position before any installation begins.

Yes. Our Burntwood installations are carried out by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and we are SafeContractor accredited under CN8516. Every lift is installed to EN 81-41, Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018, and is fully tested, certified and signed off before handover. That gives you the assurance that your lift meets all current safety and accessibility standards and is ready to use straight away.
