Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Farnham

The cost of a Farnham lift is worked out for each project. Travel height, the model selected and the demands of a Georgian Castle Street house or a Rowledge villa all play a part, so a domestic through-floor lift normally costs less than a commercial scheme. After we have looked over the property, a written, no-obligation quotation follows at no charge.

As a home lift sits indoors, planning permission is seldom needed in Farnham. The care comes with listed buildings and the town's large conservation area — the Georgian streets around Castle Street and West Street especially — where consent governs work on protected fabric. We assess that before starting and carry the consents and building regulations for you.

Three to five days covers most Farnham installations. The lift arrives built and is set into a 150mm pit, so the home avoids the weeks of shaft construction a conventional lift would bring — a help in a Georgian house. We fix the programme with you in advance, so each stage is booked and the handover date is settled.

Yes. Farnham's red-brick Georgian houses — many concealing older Tudor cores — and the Victorian villas of Rowledge suit an OnLevel lift well. With a shallow pit, no machine room and a narrow footprint, a lift can be set beside the existing staircase with only light building work, even in a historic Castle Street home.

It depends on the home and the household. A stairlift takes one seated user up a single flight; a platform lift links the floors and carries a wheelchair, frame or scooter with it. For a Farnham home with a wheelchair user, or a tall Georgian town house, the platform lift is usually the more capable choice and helps the property hold its value.

Servicing and maintenance come as standard. After fitting a lift in Farnham, we look after it across the town and out to Hale, Wrecclesham and Rowledge, with periodic visits that keep it safe, dependable and to standard, and an engineer ready to attend whenever a repair or inspection is needed.

Less than you might think. The OnLevel lift needs no more than a 150mm pit and no plant room, so a corner or the area beside the staircase is plenty. That is what lets it work in the tightly built Georgian houses near Castle Street, where a conventional shafted lift could not be installed.

Yes. Our engineers carry SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and each Farnham lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard along with Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. Every installation is the work of our own trained staff rather than subcontractors, and the lift is certified and signed off before handover.
