Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Kenilworth

Price depends on the number of floors served, the finish you choose and how much building work the opening needs. A straightforward two-storey home lift in a Kenilworth house typically lands in the mid-five-figure range, while a wheelchair platform lift or a single-threshold step lift costs noticeably less. We give a fixed written quotation after a free survey, so the figure covers the lift, installation and certification with nothing added later.

An internal home lift or through-floor lift is almost always treated as an alteration within your existing home, so it does not need planning permission. The work that matters is structural and falls under Building Regulations, which we handle. If your property is listed or sits within the conservation area around the castle and old town, external alterations may need consent, and we will flag that on survey before any work begins.

Most domestic lifts in Kenilworth are installed within three to five working days once the lift has been manufactured to your specification. A through-floor lift that needs an opening cut between floors can take a little longer, and a commercial platform lift depends on the associated builders' work. We confirm a clear day-by-day timetable at the quotation stage so you know exactly what to expect.

Yes. The substantial Victorian and Edwardian villas around Abbey Fields and the old town suit a home lift well, because their generous hallways and reception rooms give a natural corner to stand the rail. We survey the floor structure and stack of rooms first, then position the car so it serves the landing cleanly without disturbing original cornicing, fireplaces or staircases more than necessary.

It depends on your needs. A stairlift is cheaper and quicker where someone can transfer to a seat and only the person needs to move between floors. A platform or through-floor lift is the better choice in Kenilworth when a wheelchair must travel too, when the staircase is too narrow or curved for a rail, or when you want a discreet solution that adds long-term value to the home.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Kenilworth and the surrounding area, including Warwick, Leamington Spa, Coventry and Balsall Common. We offer annual maintenance visits in line with the EN 81-41 standard for domestic lifts, keeping the lift safe, smooth and certified. Our engineers carry common spares, and we provide a priority call-out service should anything need attention between scheduled visits.

Less than most people expect. A typical home lift occupies a footprint close to that of a small armchair, around one square metre, and needs only a shallow 150mm pit rather than a deep excavation. Because the rail is self-supporting it can stand in a hall corner or against a chimney breast. We measure the room on survey and confirm the smallest workable position for your Kenilworth home.

Yes. We are SafeContractor accredited (CN8516) and use our own trained teams rather than subcontractors on every Kenilworth job. Our home lifts are installed to the EN 81-41 standard and our commercial platform lifts to Part M and BS 8300:2018. Every lift is tested, certified and signed off before handover, so you receive full documentation and the confidence that the installation meets current safety requirements.
