Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Rugby

Each Rugby project is priced individually rather than to a set rate. The travel height, the chosen model and whether the lift goes into a compact Hillmorton terrace or a large Bilton villa all influence the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial installation. We survey the property first and then supply a written, no-obligation quotation entirely free of charge.

For most Rugby homes none is needed, since the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The exceptions are listed buildings and conservation areas, such as those near Rugby School, where external work can require consent, though an internal lift seldom does. We check where your property stands before starting and handle the building-regulations and any conservation paperwork for you.

Three to five days is typical for a Rugby installation. Because the lift comes factory-built and sits in a shallow 150mm pit, the home is spared the weeks of shaft and masonry work a conventional lift would involve. We agree the schedule with you beforehand, so each stage is planned around your routine and the completion date is clear from the very beginning.

Yes. The tall Victorian and Edwardian villas around Rugby School and Bilton have generous rooms and high ceilings, and OnLevel lifts suit them comfortably. With only a shallow pit, no machine room and a slim footprint required, the lift can stand beside the staircase or in the hall with light building work, so a grand Rugby villa keeps its proportions while gaining step-free access.

It depends on the home. A stairlift suits one straight flight and a single seated user, while a platform lift links whole floors and carries a wheelchair, frame or scooter. In a Rugby home where someone uses a wheelchair, or in a three-storey villa near the school, the platform lift is generally the more flexible solution and tends to hold resale value better over time.

Yes. A maintenance plan accompanies every lift we install. Once a lift is fitted in Rugby, we maintain it from the town centre out to Hillmorton, Bilton and Dunchurch, returning for scheduled safety checks and ready to attend quickly if a repair is needed. Regular servicing keeps the lift dependable and compliant with the relevant safety standards throughout its working life.

Surprisingly little. The OnLevel lift needs only a shallow 150mm pit and houses no separate machinery, so a corner of a room or the space beside the stairs is usually sufficient. That is how it fits the canal-side terraces of Hillmorton as easily as a roomier Bilton villa, where a conventional shafted lift would be far harder to accommodate.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Rugby lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard alongside Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. The work is carried out by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and each lift is fully tested, certified and signed off before handover so you can use it with confidence.
