Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Hanley Swan

The cost of a home lift in Hanley Swan depends on how many floors it serves, the model and finish you choose, and any building work the property needs first. The village's older cottages and country houses can sometimes call for extra preparation, which we assess on site. We then provide a clear written quotation covering everything included, so you can plan with confidence and know exactly what your installation will cost before work begins.

In most cases, no. Internal home lifts in Hanley Swan usually fall under permitted development, so planning permission is rarely needed. Permission is generally only required where an external lift is added, or where the property is listed or sits within the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We advise you on whether your project needs consent and help with any application to Malvern Hills District Council.

Most home and platform lift installations in Hanley Swan take three to five days once the survey is complete and the unit has arrived. A simple through-floor lift can be quicker, while installations needing structural changes to an older country property may take a little longer. We set out a clear timescale in your written quotation so you know what to expect from the start.

Yes. Many Hanley Swan homes are substantial cottages and country houses, and our lifts suit that kind of property well. A through-floor or shaftless home lift needs only a shallow pit and no separate plant room, so it can be installed without major structural work. We survey the house first and then recommend the model and position that fit best within its layout and rural character.

It depends on what you need. A stairlift suits someone who can move onto a seat and just wants help with the stairs. A platform or home lift is the better choice when a wheelchair must travel between floors, when two people wish to ride together, or when you prefer a built-in solution that adds value. We talk both options through with you during the survey.

Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Hanley Swan and the surrounding villages, including Hanley Castle, Welland, Upton-upon-Severn and Malvern. 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 premises nearby.

Less than most people expect. A compact home lift takes up about 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 Hanley Swan home and identify the neatest position for the car and its travel.

Yes. We are SafeContractor accredited (CN8516), and every Hanley Swan 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.
