Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Ilkley

Every Ilkley project is priced on its own merits, never from a set list. The travel height, the model chosen and the demands of a tall spa-era villa or a stone terrace near the Lido all shape 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 Ilkley homes none is required, since the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The exceptions are conservation areas around the town centre and the spa and listed buildings, where external alterations can need consent. We confirm exactly where your property stands before any work starts, and handle the conservation and building-regulations paperwork on your behalf.

Three to five days is typical for an Ilkley installation. Because the lift arrives factory-built and sits in a shallow 150mm pit, the house avoids the weeks of shaft and masonry work that a conventional lift demands. We agree the timetable with you in advance, so every stage is planned and the completion date is clear from the outset.

Yes. The spa-era villas off Wells Road and the detached Edwardian houses beneath Ilkley Moor often have generous but steep staircases, and an OnLevel lift suits them well. A shallow pit, no machine room and a slim footprint let the lift stand beside the stairs or in a quiet corner with light building work, keeping the period character of the villa intact.

It depends on whether a wheelchair is part of the picture. A stairlift carries a seated rider and leaves the wheelchair below. A platform lift carries the wheelchair or scooter up with the user, between the floors. For an Ilkley home where a wheelchair is in regular use, the platform lift is generally the more capable and longer-lasting choice.

Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Ilkley lift is fitted, our engineers return on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Ben Rhydding, Burley in Wharfedale, Menston and Addingham, and respond quickly should a fault arise. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant with EN 81-41 year after year.

Very little is needed. 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 tall, narrow rooms of an Ilkley spa terrace, where a traditional shafted lift could never be installed without major rebuilding.

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