Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Mildenhall

Each Mildenhall project is priced on its own merits rather than to a flat rate. The travel height, the model chosen and the demands of an older cottage near the market place or a newer home at Red Lodge 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 Mildenhall homes none is needed, as the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. Around the market place there is a conservation area with listed and timber-framed buildings, where 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 the project.

Three to five days is typical for a Mildenhall 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 market place and the older streets hold timber-framed and Georgian houses, and an OnLevel lift suits their proportions. A shallow pit, no machine room and a compact footprint let the lift stand beside the staircase with only light work, and where a Mildenhall property is listed we arrange the consents and finish the surround to sit naturally within the period interior.

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 Mildenhall 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 Mildenhall, we look after it from St Mary's and the market place out to Beck Row, West Row and Barton Mills, 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 older cottages around the market place in Mildenhall, where a conventional shafted lift simply could not be built into the available space.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Mildenhall 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.
