Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Ashtead

The figure depends on the type of lift, how many floors it links and the layout of your Ashtead home. A through-floor domestic lift sits at the lower end of the range and a larger commercial platform lift at the upper end. We carry out a survey first, then provide a written quotation with every cost itemised and nothing added later, so you can weigh it against other options clearly.

A lift fitted inside your home is normally permitted development and requires no planning permission. Some houses near Ashtead Common and the older village core may be in protected settings, so if your property is listed or sits within a conservation area we will confirm what consents are needed and handle that side of things before any installation starts.

Most installations in Ashtead are finished within three to five working days, covering delivery, fitting, commissioning and the LOLER safety inspection. Because the OnLevel lift is factory-built and needs only a shallow recess rather than a deep pit, your home avoids the weeks of structural work a conventional shafted lift would demand. We confirm the schedule in writing before any work begins on site.

Yes. The substantial houses near the Common usually have plenty of room and long turning staircases, both of which suit a platform lift well. Our cabins need no pit, no machine room and no heavy structural alteration, so they fit beside the stairs or in a corner with minimal disruption. We plan the position carefully so the lift works with the home's generous proportions.

In most Ashtead homes it is. A platform lift rises vertically in its own cabin rather than running a seat along the staircase, so it takes a wheelchair or frame, keeps the stairs free for the family, and adds value to the property. A stairlift may be cheaper to begin with, but a lift is the more dignified, longer-lasting answer in a larger village house.

Yes. Servicing forms part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Ashtead lift is fitted we return on a regular maintenance plan to inspect, test and certify it, and we respond quickly if a fault arises. These planned visits keep the lift safe, smooth and fully compliant right across Ashtead, Leatherhead, Epsom and the wider Mole Valley area.

Less than you might think. A through-floor home lift takes up roughly the footprint of an armchair on each level, and a step or platform lift needs only the run of the rise plus turning space. During the survey we measure the precise opening your Ashtead house can offer and show you exactly where the cabin will sit before you decide to proceed.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, so their health and safety practices have been independently vetted. Every Ashtead lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard alongside Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018, and is fitted by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors. Every installation is tested, certified and signed off before handover.
