Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Godalming

The price depends on the type of lift, how many floors it serves, and the layout of your Godalming property. A through-floor home lift sits at one end of the range and a larger commercial platform lift at the other. We survey your home or premises, then send a written quotation with every cost set out and nothing added later, so you can compare it against other options with confidence.

A domestic lift fitted inside your home is normally permitted development and needs no planning permission. Godalming has several conservation areas and listed buildings around the High Street and the Pepperpot, though, so if your property is protected we will check what consents apply and guide you through any listed building or conservation approvals before work starts.

Most homes and businesses in Godalming are completed within three to five working days, covering 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 demands. We confirm the timeline in writing before any work begins on site.

Yes. The merchant and timbered houses near the Pepperpot were never built with a lift in mind, but our cabins need no pit, no machine room and no major structural alteration, so they suit these older interiors well. We work carefully around original floors and beams, and where a property is listed we agree the approach with the conservation team before anything is fitted.

For most Godalming households it is. A platform lift travels vertically in its own cabin rather than riding a rail along the staircase, so it carries a wheelchair or walking frame, leaves the stairs clear for the rest of the family, and adds lasting value. A stairlift can be cheaper at first, but a lift is the more dignified long-term answer in a larger period home.

Yes. Servicing comes as part of every OnLevel installation. Once your lift is fitted in Godalming we return on a regular maintenance plan to inspect, test and certify it, and we respond quickly if a fault is reported. Our planned visits keep the lift safe, smooth and fully compliant right across Godalming, Farncombe, Milford and the wider Waverley area.

Less than most people expect. A through-floor home lift fits within roughly the footprint of an armchair on each level, and a step or platform lift needs only the run of the rise plus turning room. During the survey we measure the exact opening required in your Godalming house and show you where the cabin will sit before you commit to anything.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, so their health and safety practices have been independently vetted. Every Godalming 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.
