Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Studley

Every Studley project is priced on its own merits rather than to a fixed rate. The travel height, the model you select and the demands of an older High Street terrace or a larger home above the Arrow valley all influence the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial installation. We survey the property first, then provide a written, no-obligation quotation at no charge.

For most Studley homes none is required, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The exceptions are any listed buildings and the older properties near the church of the Nativity, where external alterations can need consent. We confirm where your particular property stands before any work begins and manage the conservation and building-regulations paperwork on your behalf throughout.

Three to five days is typical for a Studley installation. Because the lift arrives factory-built and rests in a shallow 150mm pit, your home avoids the weeks of shaft and masonry work that a conventional lift would involve. We agree the timetable with you beforehand, so every stage is planned around your household and the completion date is clear right from the start.

Yes. The inter-war terraces along Studley's long High Street were never built around a lift shaft, yet OnLevel lifts suit them comfortably. A shallow pit, no plant room and a slim footprint let the lift stand beside the staircase or in a spare corner with only light building work, whether your home is a period terrace, a riverside cottage or a more recent hillside house.

It depends on your household. A stairlift suits a single straight flight and one seated user, whereas a platform lift connects whole floors and takes a wheelchair, frame or scooter with you. In a Studley home where someone uses a wheelchair, or in a taller house near the Castle, the lift is generally the more flexible choice and protects resale value better as well.

Yes. A maintenance plan comes with every lift we install. Once a lift is fitted in Studley, we look after it from the High Street out to Mappleborough Green, Sambourne, Coughton and Astwood Bank, returning for scheduled safety checks and ready to attend quickly if a repair is needed. Regular servicing keeps the lift reliable and compliant with the relevant safety standards.

Remarkably little. The OnLevel lift requires only a shallow 150mm pit and houses no separate machinery, so a corner of a room or the space beside the staircase is usually sufficient. That is precisely how it fits the older cottages and narrow High Street plots of Studley, where a traditional shafted lift simply could not be built into the available room.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Studley 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 it is ready to use safely from day one.
