Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Woodbridge

Every Woodbridge project is priced on its own merits rather than to a set rate. The travel height, the model chosen and the demands of a stepped Georgian house near the Thoroughfare or a riverside cottage by the quay all shape the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial installation. We survey the property first and then provide a written, no-obligation quotation at no charge to you.

For most Woodbridge homes none is needed, as the lift sits entirely indoors and counts as permitted development. With a large conservation area and many listed, timber-framed and Georgian buildings near Market Hill, external alterations can sometimes need consent. We confirm exactly where your property stands before any work starts and handle the conservation and building-regulations paperwork on your behalf.

Three to five days is typical for a Woodbridge 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 demand. We agree the timetable with you beforehand, so each stage is planned around your household and the completion date is clear from the very start.

Yes. The boatyard streets and old yards off the Thoroughfare are full of timber-framed and period cottages, and an OnLevel lift suits them. A shallow pit, no machine room and a slim footprint mean the lift can stand beside the stairs with only light work, and where the property is listed we manage the consents and finish it sympathetically to the existing interior.

It depends on the household. A stairlift carries one seated person up a single flight but cannot take a wheelchair or scooter to the landing. A platform lift does precisely that, joining the storeys in full. For a Woodbridge home where a resident relies on a wheelchair, that capability usually makes the platform lift the more sensible long-term investment for the property.

Yes. A maintenance plan accompanies every lift we install. Once a lift is fitted in Woodbridge, we look after it from the Tide Mill quay out to Melton, Martlesham and Rendlesham, 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 year after year.

Remarkably 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 all it takes. That is how it fits the narrow Georgian houses and riverside cottages of Woodbridge, where a traditional shafted lift simply could not be built into the space.

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