Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Croydon

No flat rate applies to a Croydon lift; each one is costed against the work in front of us. The travel height, the model fitted and any preparation a tall Victorian terrace needs all bear on it, so a domestic through-floor lift tends to land below a commercial one. We inspect the property first, then set out a written, no-obligation quotation at no charge.

A home lift is fitted indoors, so it rarely needs planning permission in Croydon. Listed buildings and the borough's conservation areas — among them the streets around the Minster and parts of Addiscombe and South Croydon — are the exception, where consent can apply to protected fabric. We check this early and handle the consents and building regulations for you.

Most Croydon installations take three to five days. Because the lift is built off site and lowered into a 150mm pit, the long shaft construction of a conventional lift is avoided. We confirm the programme with you beforehand, so each stage is scheduled and you know exactly when your lift will be ready to use.

Yes. Croydon's tall Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Addiscombe, Broad Green and South Croydon are well matched to an OnLevel lift. With only a 150mm pit, no machine room and a compact footprint, the lift can be threaded in beside the staircase even in a narrow terraced house, with limited structural work.

For the borough's tall terraces, usually yes. A stairlift handles one flight and one seated user, so a three-storey Croydon house may need several. A platform lift reaches every floor from one installation and carries a wheelchair, frame or scooter. For multi-storey terraced homes, it is the more capable and tidier solution.

We do, on every lift we fit across Croydon and the surrounding area, from Addiscombe and Thornton Heath through to South Croydon, Shirley and Purley. Planned maintenance visits hold the lift to its safety standards and keep it dependable, and one of our engineers can be reached directly whenever a repair or check is wanted.

Remarkably little. Calling for just a 150mm pit and no separate machinery, the OnLevel lift tucks into a corner or the gap beside the staircase. That is what lets it succeed in the close-built Victorian terraces of Addiscombe and Thornton Heath, where a traditional shaft-built passenger lift would have nowhere to sit.

Fully. SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516 stands behind our teams, and each Croydon lift is constructed to EN 81-41 alongside Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. The installation is carried out in-house by our trained engineers, and the lift is certified and signed off before we hand it across.
