Platform Lifts in Newmarket

OnLevel — the UK's fastest,
lowest-disruption lift solution

Newmarket is the global headquarters of British horseracing, a West Suffolk town ringed by the gallops of the Heath where some 3,000 thoroughbreds train. The Jockey Club has set the sport's rules here since 1752, and Palace House, Tattersalls and the Rowley Mile and July Course racecourses define the town as much as its long Georgian High Street. Beyond the racing yards lie Victorian terraces and modern estates like Studlands Park, where the stairs can become a daily obstacle.

We install home lifts, commercial platform lifts, wheelchair lifts and through-floor lifts across Newmarket and the surrounding villages — including Exning, Kentford, Moulton, Cheveley and Burwell. Every installation is completed by our own SafeContractor accredited engineers (CN8516), usually within three to five days.

Platform lift solutions for every building in Newmarket

Residential

Home Lift Installation

Newmarket homes range from the Georgian houses and racing yards along the High Street and the Avenue to the Victorian terraces of the Exning Road area and the modern family homes of Studlands Park. Few were ever built with a lift in mind. As mobility changes, the staircase between the floors can become the hardest part of staying in a much-loved home. A home lift from OnLevel means you can keep your Newmarket home rather than move to a bungalow. The older terraces off the Exning Road were never built around a shaft, yet our residential lift needs only a shallow 150mm pit and no machine room. It fits into a corner or beside the staircase, so a Georgian house near the High Street or a newer Studlands Park home gains step-free travel between floors with little structural work.

Commercial

Commercial Platform Lift

Shops, offices and venues across Newmarket — from the High Street and the Guineas shopping centre to the racecourses, Tattersalls and the National Horseracing Museum — carry duties under the Equality Act 2010 to provide reasonable access for disabled people. A commercial OnLevel platform lift is usually the least disruptive way to meet them. We work with the shops of the High Street and the Guineas centre, the offices and bloodstock businesses around Tattersalls, the training yards, studs and veterinary practices of the racing industry, and the GP surgeries, care homes and churches across the town. Tell us about your premises and how people move through them, and we will arrange a survey and a written, no-obligation quotation to match. Our lifts comply with Part M of the Building Regulations, BS 6440:2023 and BS 8300:2018.

Through Floor

Through Floor Home Lifts

A through-floor lift rises straight between two storeys through a small opening in the ceiling, with no outdoor shaft, no deep digging and no machine room to house. That makes it a discreet answer for Newmarket's older housing, where the Georgian houses near the High Street and the terraces close to the gallops leave little room for anything larger. Most through-floor installations take three to five days, even in the period rooms of a Newmarket townhouse. The factory-built lift is set into a prepared opening and the surround finished to match your interior, so the rest of the home stays in use while our engineers work.

Accessibility

Wheelchair & DDA Access

Wheelchair users in Newmarket and the surrounding villages — from Exning and Kentford to Moulton, Cheveley and Burwell — can regain independent movement between floors at home, or step-free entry to local premises, with a wheelchair platform lift from OnLevel. We fit vertical platform lifts for full storey-height travel and step lifts for raised entrances. All of our wheelchair lifts are DDA compliant and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

At home in any space

Built for Newmarket'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 Newmarket

How much does a platform lift cost in Newmarket?

Each Newmarket project is priced on its own rather than to a fixed rate. The travel height, the model you choose and the demands of a Georgian house near the High Street or a newer Studlands Park home all affect 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.

Do I need planning permission for a home lift in Newmarket?

For most Newmarket homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The High Street conservation area and the town's listed Georgian and racing buildings are the exceptions, where external changes can require consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work begins and handle the conservation and building-regulations paperwork for you.

How long does it take to install a platform lift in Newmarket?

Three to five days is typical for a Newmarket 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 and the completion date is clear from the very start.

Can a platform lift be fitted in an older Newmarket property?

Yes. Newmarket sets Georgian townhouses and racing-yard homes beside Victorian terraces and the new homes of Studlands Park, and OnLevel lifts suit them all. A shallow pit, no machine room and a slim footprint let a lift stand beside the stairs with light work, whether the house is a listed property or a recent build.

Is a platform lift better than a stairlift for a Newmarket home?

It really depends on the home and household. A stairlift seats one rider on a single flight but cannot carry a wheelchair or scooter, whereas a platform lift serves the full height of the house and brings the mobility aid along. For a Newmarket home where someone uses a wheelchair, the lift is generally the more capable and longer-lasting choice.

Do you service platform lifts in the Newmarket area?

Yes. A maintenance plan comes with every lift we install. Once a lift is fitted in Newmarket, we look after it from the town centre out to Exning, Kentford and Burwell, returning for scheduled safety checks and ready to attend if a repair is needed. Regular servicing keeps the lift reliable and compliant with the relevant standards.

How much space does a platform lift need in a Newmarket home?

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 Georgian houses near the High Street and the older terraces of Newmarket, where a traditional shafted lift simply could not be built.

Are your Newmarket platform lift engineers accredited?

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