Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Kingston upon Thames

The cost of a Kingston platform lift is settled job by job. It rests on how many floors the lift links, the model you select and any care a riverside Victorian villa or a Coombe house calls for, so a domestic through-floor lift usually undercuts a commercial scheme. After we have viewed the property, a written, no-obligation quotation follows, and the first visit is free.

Being internal, a home lift seldom requires planning permission in Kingston. The exceptions are listed buildings and the town's conservation areas — the ancient Market Place, the riverside and parts of Surbiton among them — where consent may govern work on protected fabric. We look into that at the outset and carry the consents and building regulations for you.

Three to five days is the normal span for a Kingston installation. Arriving ready-built and set into a 150mm pit, the lift avoids the weeks of shaft construction a conventional installation would impose. We agree the full programme with you ahead of time, so each stage is booked and the handover date is clear from the start.

Yes. Kingston's housing runs from the Victorian villas of Surbiton and Canbury to the grand Edwardian houses of Coombe and the riverside apartments of the town centre, and OnLevel lifts suit them all. The 150mm pit and slim footprint let a lift stand beside the staircase with limited structural work, whatever the age or scale of the home.

It depends on the household. A stairlift carries one seated user along a single flight; a platform lift travels between floors with a wheelchair, frame or scooter aboard. For a Kingston home with a wheelchair user, or one of the taller Surbiton and Coombe houses, the platform lift is usually the more capable choice and helps preserve resale value.

We do. Every lift we install across Kingston and the borough is backed by our own servicing, from the riverside town centre and Surbiton out to Norbiton, New Malden and Coombe. Regular visits keep the lift safe, reliable and within its required standards, and an engineer is available for any repair or scheduled inspection.

Strikingly little. The OnLevel lift needs only a 150mm pit and houses no separate machinery, so a corner or the area beside the staircase is enough. That is why it works even in the narrow Victorian terraces of Norbiton and Canbury, where a shaft-built passenger lift could never be fitted.

Yes. Our teams are SafeContractor accredited under CN8516, and each Kingston lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard along with Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. The work is the province of our own trained engineers rather than subcontractors, and every lift is certified and signed off before handover.
