Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Cheadle

The price of a platform lift in Cheadle depends on the travel height, whether it is destined for a home or a commercial building, and the finishes chosen. A simple residential through-floor lift is the most affordable, while an enclosed commercial passenger lift costs more. Once we have completed a free site survey we issue a fixed written quote, so the figure you see is the figure you pay with no extras.

Most home lifts in Cheadle require no planning permission, as they are installed within the property and count as internal alterations. If your home is a listed building or stands in a conservation area, such as near St Giles' Church, separate consent may apply. We check the position for your particular property before any work and will advise clearly whether Staffordshire Moorlands Council permission is needed.

A typical home lift in Cheadle takes three to five days to install. A simple through-floor model can be quicker, while a commercial passenger lift or a job involving structural alterations may take a little more time. We confirm the precise schedule after the survey, and because our own engineers carry out the entire installation you always know exactly when the work will be finished.

Yes. The Victorian terraces from Cheadle's coal and brass days have small, low-ceilinged rooms, and our compact shaftless lifts are designed for precisely this kind of property. They need no separate plant room and only a shallow recess, so they fit between two stacked rooms with very little disturbance, restoring step-free access while leaving the modest proportions and original character of the terrace largely untouched.

It depends on what you need. A stairlift costs less and follows the staircase but seats only one person and cannot carry a wheelchair. A platform lift moves you and your mobility equipment together between floors and is much more future-proof. For Cheadle households planning for the long term, a platform lift is usually the sounder choice and, unlike a stairlift, adds value to the home.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Cheadle and the surrounding Moorlands, including Tean, Forsbrook, Blythe Bridge and Kingsley. Our own engineers carry out scheduled maintenance and attend any breakdown, keeping each lift compliant with EN 81-41 and running safely. We provide annual service contracts and are also happy to take over lifts that were originally installed by other companies.

Less than most Cheadle homeowners expect. A through-floor lift occupies only a little more floor than an armchair below, with a matching opening cut in the room above. There is no deep pit and no overhead machine housing, so even the snug central terraces can normally take one. We confirm the exact dimensions for you during the free no-obligation survey at your property.

Yes. We hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every lift we fit in Cheadle meets EN 81-41 for platform lifts, Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018 for commercial access. We use our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and each installation is tested, certified and signed off before handover, so you are left with full documentation and complete confidence in the work.
