Platform Lifts in Broadway
OnLevel — the UK's fastest,
lowest-disruption lift solution
Broadway is known as the Jewel of the Cotswolds, a broad green High Street lined with honey-coloured stone houses, antique shops and the famous Lygon Arms. Above the village stands Broadway Tower, the hilltop folly with its links to William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement that drew painters and craftsmen here for generations. It is one of Worcestershire's most affluent villages, and many of its handsome period houses and converted barns keep the steep, winding staircases of their original build. As owners grow older, those stairs become harder to manage, and lifting access between floors is increasingly something Broadway households ask us to solve.
We install home lifts, commercial platform lifts, wheelchair lifts and through-floor lifts across Broadway — including Willersey, Childswickham, Buckland, Snowshill and Wickhamford. 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 Broadway
Residential
Home Lift Installation
Broadway's stone houses and Arts and Crafts villas were built around staircases that climb steeply and turn sharply, and that often makes them awkward in later life. When the stairs start to feel unsafe, the bedrooms and bathroom above can quietly slip out of daily reach. A home lift from OnLevel restores that upstairs access while respecting the look of a period Cotswold home. It needs only a shallow 150mm pit, plugs into a standard domestic socket, and runs without any separate plant room, so the works stay neat and contained. Finishes can be chosen to sit comfortably against honey-stone walls and traditional joinery, and the car travels between floors smoothly and quietly each time it is called.

Commercial Platform Lift
Broadway draws visitors all year to its hotels, galleries, tearooms and the boutiques along the High Street, and step-free access for guests and staff is a duty under the Equality Act 2010. In a listed Cotswold building, a discreet OnLevel platform lift is usually the cleanest way to meet that obligation. We fit lifts for Broadway hotels, galleries, restaurants and shops, as well as GP surgeries and care homes across the surrounding Cotswold villages, choosing units that suit sensitive period premises. Every job opens with a careful site survey and a written quotation, so the cost and the scope of the works are completely clear before anything is ordered. Our lifts comply with Part M of the Building Regulations, BS 6440:2023 and BS 8300:2018.
Commercial platform lifts in WorcestershireThrough Floor
Through Floor Home Lifts
Where a Broadway cottage has no room for a dedicated shaft, a through-floor lift offers a neat answer, rising directly through the ceiling from one room to the room above. The lift is self-supporting, so there is no need for load-bearing walls or a deep pit, and the aperture closes flush when the car is parked on either level. For the older properties around Broadway green it is often the least disruptive route to full access, installed in a few days and finished to suit the room it serves.

Wheelchair & DDA Access
For a step or short change in level at a Broadway entrance, a wheelchair platform lift gives independent, dignified access, and we fit them throughout Willersey, Childswickham, Buckland, Snowshill and Chipping Campden. All of our wheelchair lifts are DDA compliant and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

At home in any space
Built for Broadway'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 Broadway
How much does a home lift cost in Broadway?
The cost of a home lift in Broadway depends on how many floors it serves, the model and finish you choose, and any preparatory building work the property needs. Broadway's older stone houses occasionally call for extra preparation, which we assess during the site visit. We then issue a clear written quotation that sets out everything included, so you can plan confidently and know exactly what your installation will cost before any work begins.
Do I need planning permission for a lift in Broadway?
Most home lifts in Broadway are internal and count as permitted development, so planning permission is rarely needed. Because the village lies within the Cotswolds National Landscape and includes many listed buildings, external lifts or alterations to a listed property can require consent. We advise you on whether your project needs permission and help with any application to Wychavon District Council where that is necessary.
How long does it take to install a lift in Broadway?
Most home and platform lift installations in Broadway are completed within three to five days once the survey is done and the unit is ready. A straightforward through-floor lift can sometimes be finished sooner, while projects involving structural changes to an older Cotswold property may take a little longer. We confirm a clear timescale in your written quotation so you know what to expect from the outset.
Can a platform lift be fitted in a period stone house in Broadway?
Yes. Many Broadway homes are honey-stone period houses and converted barns, and our lifts are designed to suit exactly that kind of property. A through-floor or shaftless home lift needs only a shallow pit and no separate plant room, so it fits without major structural change. We survey the house first, then recommend the model and position that work best within its proportions and character.
Is a platform lift better than a stairlift in Broadway?
It depends on your needs. A stairlift suits someone who can transfer to a seat and simply wants help with the stairs. A platform or home lift is the better choice if a wheelchair must travel between floors, if two people wish to ride together, or if you prefer a solution that adds value and looks built-in. We talk both options through during the survey.
Do you service and maintain lifts in Broadway?
Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Broadway and the surrounding villages, including Willersey, Childswickham, Buckland and Chipping Campden. Regular servicing keeps your lift running safely and reliably and protects your warranty. Our own engineers carry out the visits, and we offer maintenance plans tailored to whether your lift is in a private home or a commercial Cotswold premises.
How much space does a home lift need in a Broadway home?
Less than most people expect. A compact home lift occupies roughly the footprint of a small armchair, and a through-floor model simply needs a clear landing spot in the room above. There is no separate machine room and only a shallow 150mm pit. During the survey we measure the available space in your Broadway home and identify the neatest position for the car and its travel.
Are your lift installers accredited in Broadway?
Yes. We are SafeContractor accredited (CN8516), and every Broadway installation is carried out by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors. Our lifts meet EN 81-41, Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018, and each one is tested, certified and signed off before handover. That accreditation gives you the assurance that the work has been done safely and to the recognised standards.
