Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Burton upon Trent

The cost of a platform lift in Burton upon Trent reflects the travel height, whether the lift is residential or commercial and the finishes you pick. A simple two-storey home lift is priced quite differently from an enclosed passenger lift in a town-centre brewery office. We carry out a free site survey first, then give every Burton customer a fixed written quote, so the price is clear and settled before any work starts.

A home lift installed inside a Burton property usually needs no planning permission, because internal work of this kind counts as permitted development. A through-floor lift fitted within your own house is handled the same way. Listed buildings, conservation areas and any external lift can require consent, and we will identify whether it applies during the survey and guide you through the process if it does.

Most home and through-floor lifts in Burton upon Trent are installed within three to five working days once the survey is done and the unit built. Commercial platform lifts can take longer where a shaft or builder's work is needed. Because our own engineers carry out the whole installation, a Burton job runs to a firm schedule and does not stall while waiting for outside trades to arrive.

Yes. Burton has rows of narrow brewery-worker terraces in Stapenhill and Winshill, and a compact through-floor or platform lift suits them well. These lifts need only a shallow pit and no separate machine room, so they fit where a wider conversion could not. We examine the floor and ceiling structure at the survey and position the lift to use the footprint without sacrificing the downstairs room.

Both have their place. A stairlift suits a person who can transfer to a seat and only needs the staircase covered. A platform lift is the better answer for Burton residents who use a wheelchair or scooter, as it carries them and their aid together between floors. It is also more future-proof and tends to add value to a Burton home, whereas a stairlift generally does not.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install throughout Burton upon Trent, including homes and businesses in Stretton, Branston, Stapenhill, Winshill and Rolleston on Dove. Regular servicing keeps the lift safe and reliable and protects your warranty. Our engineers carry common parts with them, so most routine visits and minor repairs across the Burton area are completed in a single appointment without delay.

Considerably less than most Burton homeowners expect. Many of our lifts take up a footprint about the size of a large armchair, needing only a shallow 150mm pit and no machine room. In a narrow brewery-worker terrace that compact size is frequently what makes a lift possible. We measure the available space carefully during the survey and recommend the model best suited to the room you have.

Yes. We hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516 and use our own trained teams rather than subcontractors on every Burton upon Trent installation. Our lifts comply with EN 81-41 for platform lifts, Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018 for commercial access. Each lift is tested, certified and signed off before handover, leaving you with a safe, compliant and fully documented installation you can rely on.
