Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Dorking

Dorking's homes match its setting: the Georgian and Victorian houses of the High Street and West Street antiques quarter, the 19th-century villas of the Rose Hill conservation area, the large detached houses around Flint Hill, and the village homes of Westcott and North Holmwood. As mobility changes, the staircase in any of these homes can become a daily difficulty. A home lift from OnLevel keeps you in your Dorking home rather than facing a move. The Georgian and Victorian houses of the town centre and the hillside villas were never built around a lift shaft, but the OnLevel residential lift needs only a 150mm pit and no machine room. It fits beside the staircase or into a corner, so even a tall period house near the High Street gains a lift between floors with carefully limited structural work.

Shops, offices and public buildings across Dorking — from the High Street and the West Street antiques shops to Denbies Wine Estate and the Surrey Hills tourism trade — have duties under the Equality Act 2010 to provide reasonable access for disabled visitors and staff. In a town of so many period buildings, a commercial OnLevel platform lift is often the least intrusive route to compliance. We work with the antiques dealers and independent shops of West Street and the High Street, cafés and the White Horse and other inns, the visitor businesses around Box Hill and Denbies, offices in the town centre, care homes and GP surgeries across Westcott and North Holmwood, and Dorking Halls and other venues. Tell us about your premises and we will provide a no-obligation quotation matched to your building. Our lifts comply with Part M of the Building Regulations, BS 6440:2023 and BS 8300:2018.

A through-floor lift rises between storeys through a compact opening in the ceiling — no external shaft, no deep excavation, no machine room. That makes it a sympathetic choice for Dorking's older housing, where the Georgian and Victorian houses of the High Street and West Street leave little room for a more intrusive lift. Installation takes 3 to 5 days, even in the tighter layouts of Dorking's period homes. The factory-built lift is fixed into a prepared opening and the surround finished to match the room. Its small footprint keeps the rest of the house in use while the work is carried out.

Wheelchair users across Dorking and the surrounding area — from the town centre and Rose Hill to Westcott, North Holmwood and Pixham — can regain independent movement between floors at home, or step-free entry to commercial premises, with a wheelchair platform lift from OnLevel. We supply vertical platform lifts for full storey-height travel and step lifts for raised entrances. Every wheelchair lift meets DDA requirements and is certified for indoor and outdoor use.
