Platform Lifts in Marlborough
OnLevel — the UK's fastest,
lowest-disruption lift solution
Marlborough boasts one of the widest High Streets in Britain, a sweep of colonnaded shops and old coaching inns broad enough to recall its market-town heyday. Marlborough College stands at the western end beside the prehistoric Marlborough Mound, Savernake Forest and the Marlborough Downs roll away around the town, and the famous Polly Tea Rooms still draw visitors along the High Street. Whether you live in a Georgian townhouse on the High Street, a brick-and-flint cottage in a side lane, or an affluent newer home towards Manton, OnLevel provides professional lift installation tailored to your property. Many of Marlborough's older homes were built with steep, narrow staircases that grow harder to climb with age.
We install home lifts, commercial platform lifts, wheelchair lifts and through-floor lifts across Marlborough — including Pewsey, Ramsbury, Aldbourne, Burbage and Mildenhall. Every installation is handled by our own SafeContractor accredited engineers (CN8516), usually within three to five days.
Residential & Commercial
Platform lift solutions for every building in Marlborough
Residential
Home Lift Installation
Marlborough's housing spans Georgian townhouses along the High Street, brick-and-flint cottages tucked into the side lanes, and substantial family homes out towards Manton and Mildenhall. In the period properties the staircases are frequently steep and tightly turned, and that becomes a barrier for an ageing parent, someone recovering from surgery, or anyone living with a long-term mobility condition. A home lift from OnLevel lets you stay in a much-loved Marlborough home instead of relocating to a bungalow. It requires only a shallow 150mm pit and no machine room, and the car is finished to suit your interior, from full glazing to solid panelling. Even in a graceful Georgian townhouse the installation is typically completed within a few days.

Commercial Platform Lift
The High Street shops, the coaching-inn hotels, Marlborough's surgeries, the College's public facilities and the town's many cafes all have a duty under the Equality Act 2010 to make their premises reasonably accessible. The cleanest route to two-floor access is an OnLevel platform lift. We work with retailers, offices, hotels and hospitality businesses throughout Marlborough, alongside GP and private clinics, care and nursing homes that depend on reliable access between floors. Every project starts with an on-site survey and a written quotation, so the scope and cost are clear before any work begins. Our lifts comply with Part M of the Building Regulations, BS 6440:2023 and BS 8300:2018.
Commercial platform lifts in WiltshireThrough Floor
Through Floor Home Lifts
A through-floor lift rises through an opening in the ceiling into the room above, so there is no need to build a shaft. In a Marlborough home we finish the upper aperture and surround so it sits discreetly within the existing decoration. Installation usually takes three to five days. The lift arrives factory-built, the floor surround is matched to your existing flooring, and because the work is so contained your home stays in use throughout, with normal life barely interrupted.

Wheelchair & DDA Access
A wheelchair platform lift delivers step-free access at home or in business premises across Marlborough, Pewsey, Ramsbury, Aldbourne, Burbage and Mildenhall. We fit vertical platform lifts for full-storey level changes and short-rise step lifts for single steps and split levels. All of our wheelchair lifts are DDA compliant and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

At home in any space
Built for Marlborough's most
demanding buildings
From heritage conversions and listed properties to modern new builds, the OnLevel lift slots in where traditional lifts cannot go. The 150mm pit depth, self-supporting structure and bolt-together installation mean it can be retrofitted into existing buildings without major structural work — so you keep the character of the space and still deliver compliant, dignified access.
Whether the setting is a converted warehouse, a period townhouse, or a brand-new commercial fit-out, the lift becomes part of the architecture — not a compromise added after the fact.

FAQs
Platform lift questions for Marlborough
How much does a home lift cost in Marlborough?
The cost of a home lift in Marlborough depends on how many floors it serves, the finish you choose and any structural work your property needs. A typical two-storey installation usually costs much less than an extension or a move to a bungalow. We give a fixed written quotation after a free survey, so the figure you receive is the figure you pay, with no hidden extras.
Do I need planning permission for a platform lift in Marlborough?
Usually not. Home and through-floor lifts are fitted inside the property, so planning permission is rarely required in Marlborough. Listed buildings along the High Street and within the conservation area can be an exception, and external lifts may need consent. We assess this during the survey and tell you clearly if any approval from Wiltshire Council is likely to apply.
How long does it take to install a lift in Marlborough?
Most lifts in Marlborough are installed within three to five days. Because the lift is delivered factory-built, the work on site stays short and clean. We agree a fixed start date with you in advance, protect floors and walkways throughout, and leave the property tidy once the lift has been tested, certified and handed over.
Can a platform lift be fitted in a Georgian townhouse in Marlborough?
Yes. The High Street is lined with Georgian townhouses that have elegant but space-conscious layouts, and our compact lifts suit them well. They need only a shallow 150mm pit and no machine room, so they fit alongside the existing staircase without major structural change. We confirm the best position and finish to respect the property during the survey.
Is a platform lift better than a stairlift?
For many Marlborough residents, yes. A stairlift only carries a seated person up the staircase, whereas a platform lift moves a user and their wheelchair together between floors. It also keeps the stairs clear for everyone else in the household and is generally more comfortable for anyone with more significant mobility needs.
Do you service lifts after installation in Marlborough?
Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Marlborough, Pewsey, Ramsbury and out towards Burbage and Mildenhall. Regular servicing keeps your lift safe, dependable and compliant with current standards. Our own engineers carry out each visit, and we offer planned maintenance agreements so the work is scheduled rather than left to chance.
How much space does a home lift need in a Marlborough house?
Less than most people expect. A standard OnLevel home lift occupies roughly the footprint of a small armchair and needs only a shallow 150mm pit, with no separate machine room. That makes it practical even in the more compact cottages off the High Street. During the survey we pinpoint the best location to keep any disruption to a minimum.
Are your installation engineers accredited?
Yes. We are SafeContractor accredited (CN8516) and our lifts meet EN 81-41, Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. We use our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, so the engineers who survey your Marlborough home are the same people who install the lift. Every installation is tested, certified and signed off before handover.
