Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Melksham

The cost of a Melksham home lift depends on the model, how many floors it serves and the finish you pick, so we price each installation individually after a free survey. The written quotation comes with no hidden extras. A compact through-floor lift is the most affordable starting point, a glazed shaft costs more, and we explain each option clearly before you commit.

An internal home lift in Melksham rarely needs planning permission, because it is treated as work within your own house. Listed buildings, conservation areas and external or commercial lifts can be exceptions. We confirm exactly how the rules apply to your address during the survey, and where a permission is required we handle the application for you.

A typical Melksham home lift is installed in three to five days. Since the unit comes factory-built, the on-site work is mainly forming the opening, positioning the lift and commissioning it. Commercial platform lifts can take a little longer where building work is part of the project. We set out the timescale in the written quotation before we begin.

Yes. Melksham's mid-century semis usually have the regular layouts and solid floors that a through-floor platform lift suits, and it needs no external shaft. During the survey we look at the structure and the room directly above, then place the unit so both floors remain usable. Slim modern lifts fit neatly into the standard rooms of these post-war homes.

It depends on your circumstances. A stairlift is a good fit if you can move onto a seat and just need help up the stairs. A platform lift is the stronger option if you stay in a wheelchair between floors, or if more than one person at home needs to use it. We will help you weigh up which works best in your Melksham home.

Yes. Servicing is included with every OnLevel installation. After your Melksham lift is fitted, our engineers return on a regular plan to inspect and test it, across Bowerhill, Beanacre, Shaw and Atworth, and respond quickly should a fault arise. Planned maintenance keeps the lift safe, reliable and compliant for the long term.

Not much at all. A modern home lift takes up roughly the footprint of a small armchair, about one square metre, and needs only a shallow 150mm pit rather than a deep base. No machine room or separate plant cupboard is needed. On the survey we identify the best position in your Melksham home, often a corner of the lounge or hallway.

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