Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Lacock

A Lacock lift is priced to the property, never from a fixed list. The travel height, the model you select and the demands of a low timber-framed cottage or a stone village house 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 Lacock homes none is needed, since the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. The National-Trust village, almost wholly listed and within a conservation area, is the clear exception, where internal changes to a listed home can also require consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work begins and handle the conservation and listed-building paperwork for you.

Three to five days is typical for a Lacock 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, absolutely. A timber-framed cottage near the Tithe Barn, low and tight with stairs that twist between the floors, will still take a lift fitted with care and finished to suit the period interior. The shallow pit and compact footprint reach the floor above with light disruption, so the historic home keeps the character the village is famous for and stays comfortable to live in.

It turns on whether a wheelchair has to travel. A stairlift carries a seated rider and leaves the wheelchair on the floor below. A platform lift carries the wheelchair or scooter up with the user, between the floors. For a Lacock home where a wheelchair is in daily use, the lift is generally the more capable and longer-lasting choice.

Yes. Servicing is part of every OnLevel installation. Once your Lacock lift is fitted, our engineers return on a regular plan to inspect, test and certify it, across Corsham, Melksham, Reybridge and Bowden Hill, and respond quickly should a fault appear. Routine maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant.

Very little. A shallow 150mm pit and no machine room mean a corner or the space beside the stair is usually enough, which suits the low, timber-framed cottages of the village whose steep stairs and close walls would never make room for a fully shafted conventional lift.

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