Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Chippenham

The price of a Chippenham home lift turns on the model, how many floors it serves and the finish you choose, so we quote each job individually after a free survey. Your written quotation carries no hidden extras. A compact through-floor lift is the lowest-cost option, a fully glazed shaft costs more, and we go through the choices with you before any decision is made.

Internal home lifts in Chippenham seldom require planning permission, since they count as work inside your own home. Listed buildings near the Buttercross, conservation areas and external or commercial lifts can be exceptions. We establish the position for your address during the survey, and where permission is needed we manage the application so you do not have to.

A typical Chippenham home lift is fitted in three to five days. As the unit arrives factory-built, the on-site work is mostly forming the opening, setting the lift in place and commissioning it. Commercial platform lifts can take longer where construction is involved. We confirm the expected timescale in the written quotation so you know what to plan for.

Yes. Chippenham's Georgian and period houses near the river usually have the ceiling heights and solid floors that a through-floor platform lift needs, and it requires no external shaft. On the survey we examine the structure and the room above, then position the lift so both floors stay usable. For listed properties we work sensitively and secure any consents in advance.

The right answer depends on you. A stairlift works well if you can sit on a seat and only need help up the stairs. A platform lift suits you better if you remain in a wheelchair between floors, or if several people in the home will use it. We are happy to talk through both options and find the best fit for your Chippenham home.

Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Chippenham lift is in, our engineers return on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Corsham, Calne, Lacock and Melksham, and respond quickly if a fault develops. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant for many years to come.

Less room than most people expect. A modern home lift sits in roughly the footprint of a small armchair, about one square metre, and needs only a shallow 150mm pit rather than a deep excavation. There is no machine room and no separate plant space required. During the survey we find the best spot in your Chippenham home, often a corner of the lounge or hall.

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