Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Guildford

We work out the cost of each Guildford lift from the project itself. The travel height between floors, the model you choose and any care an older Charlotteville villa or town-centre house needs all shape the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial scheme. After visiting your home or premises, we provide a written, no-obligation quotation, free of charge.

A home lift is fitted indoors, so it rarely needs planning permission in Guildford. The exceptions cluster around listed buildings and the town's conservation areas — the cobbled High Street, Charlotteville and Onslow Village among them — where consent can apply to protected fabric. We check this before work begins and handle the consents and building regulations for you.

Three to five days is the usual span for a Guildford installation. Because the lift is built off site and lowered into a 150mm pit, there is none of the prolonged shaft construction a conventional lift demands. We set the timetable with you in advance, so each stage is planned and the completion date is settled before we start.

Yes. Guildford's railway-era Victorian terraces and the villas of Charlotteville are well suited to an OnLevel lift. With only a 150mm pit, no machine room and a compact footprint, a lift can be installed beside the existing staircase with limited structural work, even in an older or steeply set home near the town centre.

That turns on the household and the house. A stairlift moves one seated rider along a single flight, while a platform lift rises between floors carrying a wheelchair, frame or scooter as well. In a hillside Guildford villa, or a home with a wheelchair user, the platform lift is generally the more capable answer and tends to protect the property’s resale value.

We do. Each lift we fit across Guildford and the borough carries our own maintenance, from the town centre and Charlotteville out to Burpham, Merrow and Shalford. Planned visits hold the lift to its safety standards and keep it dependable, and one of our engineers can be reached directly for any repair or routine check.

Remarkably little. Calling for only 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 below the High Street, where a traditional shaft-built passenger lift would have nowhere to sit.

Fully. SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516 stands behind our teams, and each Guildford 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.
