Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Shoreham-by-Sea

The price depends on the type of lift, how many floors it serves and the particulars of your Shoreham-by-Sea property, whether that is an old-town terrace, a riverside flat or a larger family home. A through-floor home lift falls at the lower end of the range and a fully enclosed commercial passenger lift at the higher end. We give you a written quotation with no hidden extras after a free site survey.

Most internal home lifts in Shoreham-by-Sea require no planning permission, as the work stays inside the building. An external lift, or work affecting a listed or conservation-area property in the old town near St Mary de Haura, may need consent from Adur District Council. We check the position during the survey and manage any application needed, so there are no surprises once the work begins.

A typical home lift in Shoreham-by-Sea is installed in three to five days, including the building work, fitting the lift, and testing and commissioning. A simple through-floor lift can be completed faster, while a larger commercial passenger lift may take a little more time. We confirm a precise timescale after surveying your property, so you can plan around the installation with confidence.

Yes. The narrow terraces around St Mary de Haura and the old town are tighter than most modern homes, but a through-floor lift is designed for exactly this kind of space and needs only a small opening between floors. We survey the structure carefully, pick a position that works within the room layout, and keep the building work modest so the character of the older property is preserved.

If you use a wheelchair or scooter around Shoreham-by-Sea, a platform lift is usually the better option because it carries you and your equipment between floors and keeps the staircase clear for the rest of the household. A stairlift suits someone who can transfer to a seat and manage a few steps. We talk both choices through honestly at the survey before you commit to anything.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Shoreham-by-Sea, Southwick, Lancing, Portslade and the wider Adur district. Regular servicing keeps the lift running safely and satisfies the EN 81-41 requirements for platform lifts. We offer planned maintenance contracts and quick call-outs, with our own engineers covering the town and its surrounding villages rather than a distant call centre.

Less than people often assume. A through-floor lift occupies roughly the footprint of a small armchair on each floor, with a modest opening between them, so it suits the compact terraces and flats found across Shoreham-by-Sea. We measure the available space during the survey and recommend the model that offers the largest usable platform within your room, whether that is a corner of the lounge or part of a hallway.

Yes. We are SafeContractor accredited (CN8516) and work to EN 81-41 for platform lifts and Part M and BS 8300:2018 for accessible buildings. Every Shoreham-by-Sea installation is completed by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and each lift is tested, certified and signed off before handover, so you receive full documentation and the assurance that everyone on site is directly accountable to us.
