Platform Lifts in Tamworth
OnLevel — the UK's fastest,
lowest-disruption lift solution
Tamworth was the Saxon capital of Mercia, the seat of Offa and of Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians, and its Norman motte-and-bailey castle still rises above the town. The Snowdome draws visitors year-round, and Drayton Manor theme park lies just outside. From older properties near the castle grounds to the wide post-war estates at Glascote and Wilnecote, OnLevel installs home and platform lifts across Tamworth, fitting each lift to the layout of the home.
We install home lifts, commercial platform lifts, wheelchair lifts and through-floor lifts across Tamworth — including Fazeley, Polesworth, Wilnecote, Glascote and Amington. Every installation is handled by our own SafeContractor accredited engineers (CN8516), usually within three to five days.

Platform lift solutions for every building in Tamworth
Residential
Home Lift Installation
Tamworth's housing leans heavily toward the large post-war and modern estates that spread across Glascote, Wilnecote and Amington, alongside older properties near the castle and town centre. As a resident ages, recovers from an operation or copes with a long-term mobility condition, the staircase in a two-storey estate home can become the line that divides the house in two. A home lift from OnLevel erases that divide and keeps the whole house in use without a move. Resting on a shallow 150mm pit, running with no machine room and finished to suit the room around it, the lift slots neatly into a modern Wilnecote semi or an older home near the castle. Our own engineers handle every stage on site, completing the work in a small number of tidy days.

Commercial Platform Lift
For a town-centre shop, a leisure venue near the Snowdome or an office in Tamworth, the Equality Act 2010 obliges you to make the building reachable for disabled visitors and staff. Where a step or a level change cuts off access, an OnLevel platform lift provides a discreet and compliant way through. We install commercial platform lifts in Tamworth's shops, offices, leisure centres, surgeries and visitor attractions. Each lift is matched to the building, from a low-rise step lift at a town-centre shopfront to an enclosed passenger lift serving several storeys of a Tamworth office or leisure venue. We survey, install and commission with the least possible disruption to trading and to your visitors. Our lifts comply with Part M of the Building Regulations, BS 6440:2023 and BS 8300:2018.
Commercial platform lifts in StaffordshireThrough Floor
Through Floor Home Lifts
Where a Tamworth home has no width to give up by the staircase, a through-floor lift takes its route up into the room directly overhead instead. The lift travels through a clean opening formed in the ceiling, connecting a ground-floor room to the bedroom positioned directly above. No external shaft is constructed and no separate machine room is required, so the building work stays modest even in an older property near the castle. Once the car is parked upstairs the lower opening closes flush, and the room beneath stays available for everyday living.

Wheelchair & DDA Access
An wheelchair platform lift is built so the user keeps to their chair for the whole rise, and we install them for homes and businesses across Fazeley, Polesworth, Wilnecote, Glascote and Amington. The platform offers a powered wheelchair generous space to enter and manoeuvre with confidence. All of our wheelchair lifts are DDA compliant and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

At home in any space
Built for Tamworth's most
demanding buildings
From heritage conversions and listed properties to modern new builds, the OnLevel lift slots in where traditional lifts cannot go. The 150mm pit depth, self-supporting structure and bolt-together installation mean it can be retrofitted into existing buildings without major structural work — so you keep the character of the space and still deliver compliant, dignified access.
Whether the setting is a converted warehouse, a period townhouse, or a brand-new commercial fit-out, the lift becomes part of the architecture — not a compromise added after the fact.

FAQs
Platform lift questions for Tamworth
How much does a platform lift cost in Tamworth?
What a platform lift costs in Tamworth depends on the height of travel, whether it is a home or commercial lift and the finishes you choose. A straightforward two-storey home lift is priced very differently from an enclosed passenger lift in a Tamworth office. After a free site survey we provide every customer with a fixed written quotation, so the figure is agreed clearly before any installation work gets under way.
Do I need planning permission for a lift in Tamworth?
A home lift fitted inside a Tamworth house generally needs no planning permission, as internal work of this type is permitted development. A through-floor lift within your own property is treated identically. External lifts, or any work on a listed building or in the conservation area near the castle, may require consent, and we will flag whether it applies at the survey and help you with any application needed.
How long does it take to install a lift in Tamworth?
Most home and through-floor lifts in Tamworth take three to five working days to install once the survey is complete and the unit built. Commercial platform lifts can run longer where a shaft or builder's work is involved. Because our own engineers carry out the entire installation, a Tamworth job keeps to a defined timetable and does not stall while waiting for separate contractors to attend the site.
Can a platform lift be fitted in a post-war estate house in Tamworth?
Yes. Much of Tamworth is post-war and modern estate housing across Glascote, Wilnecote and Amington, and a compact platform or through-floor lift fits these homes well. The lifts ask for only a shallow pit and no machine room, so they suit standard estate layouts comfortably. We assess the floor and ceiling structure at the survey and place the lift to make good use of the space without crowding the rooms.
Is a platform lift better than a stairlift in Tamworth?
Each answers a different need. A stairlift works for someone who can sit on a moving seat and only needs the stairs covered. A platform lift is the stronger choice for Tamworth residents who rely on a wheelchair or scooter, since it takes the user and their aid together between floors. It is also more future-proof and usually adds value to a Tamworth home, which a stairlift does not.
Do you service and maintain lifts in Tamworth?
Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Tamworth, including homes and businesses in Fazeley, Polesworth, Wilnecote, Glascote and Amington. Routine servicing keeps the lift safe and reliable and preserves your warranty. Our engineers carry common spares with them, so most service visits and minor repairs across the Tamworth area are completed within a single appointment, with no lengthy wait for parts.
How much space does a platform lift need in Tamworth?
Much less than many Tamworth homeowners assume. A good number of our lifts occupy a footprint similar to that of a large armchair, needing just a shallow 150mm pit and no machine room. Even in a standard estate semi that compact footprint leaves the surrounding rooms usable. We take precise measurements during the survey and recommend the model that best matches the space available in your home.
Are your lift engineers accredited in Tamworth?
Yes. We are SafeContractor accredited under CN8516 and use our own trained teams rather than subcontractors on every Tamworth job. Our lifts meet EN 81-41 for platform lifts, Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018 for commercial access. Every installation is tested, certified and signed off before handover, so you receive a lift that is safe, compliant and fully documented from the day it is commissioned.
