Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Steyning

A Steyning lift is priced to the property rather than from a fixed list. The travel height, the model chosen and the demands of a tight timber-framed cottage or a larger Downland house all shape the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial installation. We survey the building first, then provide a written, no-obligation quotation at no charge.

For most Steyning homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The town's conservation area and its many listed timber-framed buildings are the exception, where internal changes to a listed property can require consent. We confirm exactly where your house stands before any work begins, and we handle the conservation and building-regulations paperwork for you.

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

Yes. The Tudor and Georgian cottages along the Steyning High Street take a lift readily once a survey confirms the floor structure, with the car set discreetly into a corner and faced to suit the beams and panelling. Its slim footprint and shallow pit reach the upper rooms while respecting the period detail of the house.

It depends on whether a wheelchair must travel between floors. A stairlift carries only a seated rider and leaves the chair below, while a platform lift raises the wheelchair or scooter together with the user. For a Steyning home arranged around a wheelchair, the platform lift is generally the more capable and longer-lasting solution of the two.

Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Steyning lift is fitted, our engineers return on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Bramber, Upper Beeding, Ashurst and Wiston, and respond quickly should a fault arise. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and fully compliant year after year for your household.

Very little. The OnLevel lift asks only for a shallow 150mm pit and houses no separate machinery, so a corner of a sitting room or the space beside a winding cottage stair is usually enough. That is how it suits the tight timber-framed houses of Steyning, where owners would far sooner adapt than leave a settled town life.

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