Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Chichester

We quote each Chichester job to the property, not a fixed rate. The number of floors, the model chosen and the building — a Pallants Georgian townhouse differs from a Summersdale home — all shape the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial scheme. After a survey, the written quotation is free and carries no obligation.

For most Chichester homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The walled city centre is a conservation area with many listed buildings, including the Pallants, where external changes can require consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work begins and handle the conservation and building-regulations paperwork for you.

Three to five days is typical for a Chichester installation. Because the lift arrives factory-built and sits in a shallow 150mm pit, the home avoids the weeks of shaft and masonry work a conventional lift would involve. We agree the timetable with you in advance, so each stage is planned and the completion date is clear from the very start.

Yes. Chichester sets the Georgian townhouses of the Pallants beside Victorian terraces and the modern homes of Summersdale, and OnLevel lifts suit them all. A shallow pit, no machine room and a slim footprint let a lift stand beside the stairs with light work, whether the house is a listed townhouse or a recent build.

Only one of the two carries a wheelchair. A stairlift suits a single seated rider on one flight. A platform lift suits anyone who needs a wheelchair or scooter to reach the upper floor, taking user and aid up together. For a Chichester home where a wheelchair is in use, the lift is generally the more capable long-term choice.

Yes. A maintenance plan is part of every lift we fit. After your Chichester lift is installed, we look after it within the city and out to Fishbourne, Bosham and Selsey, calling back for routine safety checks and attending without delay if a repair is needed. Consistent care keeps the lift dependable and compliant.

Very little. The OnLevel lift asks only for a shallow 150mm pit and houses no separate machinery, so a corner of a room or the space beside the staircase is usually enough. That is how it fits the Georgian townhouses of the Pallants and the older streets within the walls of Chichester, where a traditional shafted lift simply could not be built.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Chichester 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.
