Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Cranleigh

It depends on the type of lift, the number of floors it serves and the layout of your Cranleigh property. A through-floor home lift sits at the lower end of the range and a larger commercial platform lift at the upper end. We survey the building first, then provide a written quotation with every cost set out and nothing added later, so you can compare it clearly against the other options.

A lift installed inside your home is usually permitted development and needs no planning permission. Cranleigh has a conservation area along the village street and a number of older cottages, so if your property is listed or sits within a protected setting we will check what consents are needed and guide you through any conservation or listed building approvals first.

Most homes and businesses in Cranleigh are completed within three to five working days, including delivery, fitting, commissioning and the LOLER safety inspection. Because the OnLevel lift arrives factory-built and needs only a shallow recess rather than a deep pit, your property avoids the weeks of structural work a conventional shafted lift would involve. We confirm the timeline in writing before any work begins.

Yes. The older cottages along the village street often have steep, narrow staircases, but our lifts need no pit, no machine room and no major structural change, so they suit these compact interiors well. We measure carefully around existing walls and beams, and where a cottage is listed we agree the approach with the conservation team before any installation takes place.

For most Cranleigh homes it is the stronger choice. A platform lift travels vertically in its own cabin rather than riding a seat along the stairs, so it carries a wheelchair or frame, keeps the staircase clear for the household, and adds value. A stairlift may cost less initially, but a lift is the more dignified and lasting answer in a village home you intend to keep.

Yes. Servicing comes with every OnLevel installation. After we fit your lift in Cranleigh we return on a regular maintenance plan to inspect, test and certify it, and we respond quickly to any reported fault. These planned visits keep the lift safe, smooth and fully compliant right across Cranleigh, Bramley, Ewhurst and the surrounding Waverley area.

Less than you might imagine. 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 height of the rise plus turning space. During the survey we measure the exact opening your Cranleigh home can offer and show you where the cabin will sit before you decide to proceed with the work.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, so their health and safety practices have been independently vetted. Every Cranleigh 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. Each installation is tested, certified and signed off before handover.
