Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Hadleigh

Each Hadleigh project is priced on its own merits rather than to a flat rate. The travel height, the model chosen and the demands of a timber-framed High Street house or a newer home off Stonehouse Road all influence the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial scheme. We survey the property first and then provide a written, no-obligation quotation at no charge to you.

For most Hadleigh homes none is needed, as the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. With a conservation area covering the medieval High Street and many listed, timber-framed buildings, external alterations can sometimes require consent. We confirm exactly where your property stands before any work begins, and handle the conservation and building-regulations paperwork on your behalf throughout.

Three to five days is typical for a Hadleigh installation. Because the lift arrives factory-built and sits in a shallow 150mm pit, the home avoids the weeks of shaft and masonry work a conventional lift would involve. We agree the timetable with you in advance, so each stage is planned around your household and the completion date is clear from the very start.

Yes. The High Street holds many Georgian frontages alongside its timber-framed houses, and an OnLevel lift suits their proportions well. A shallow pit, no machine room and a compact footprint allow the lift to stand beside the staircase with only light work, and where a Hadleigh house is listed we arrange the consents and finish the surround to sit naturally within the period rooms.

It depends on the household. A stairlift suits a single straight flight and one seated user but cannot carry a wheelchair or scooter to the landing. A platform lift does exactly that, joining the storeys in full. For a Hadleigh home where a resident relies on a wheelchair, that capability usually makes the platform lift the more sensible long-term choice for the property.

Yes. A maintenance plan accompanies every lift we install. Once a lift is fitted in Hadleigh, we look after it from the Guildhall and St Mary's out to Ipswich, Sudbury and Lavenham, returning for scheduled safety checks and ready to attend promptly if a repair is needed. Regular servicing keeps the lift reliable, safe and compliant with the relevant standards over the years.

Very little. The OnLevel lift asks only for a shallow 150mm pit and houses no separate machinery, so a corner of a room or the space beside the staircase is usually enough. That is how it fits the narrow timber-framed houses of the High Street in Hadleigh, where a conventional shafted lift simply could not be built into the available space.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Hadleigh lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard alongside Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. The work is carried out by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and each lift is fully tested, certified and signed off before handover.
