A platform lift is a vertical lift that carries a person between floor levels on an open or enclosed platform. Unlike a stairlift, which follows the line of the staircase, a platform lift travels straight up and down. This keeps your staircase completely clear and makes it suitable for wheelchair users, those with mobility aids, and anyone who needs reliable, independent access between floors.
Platform lifts and indoor wheelchair lifts can be installed in most domestic properties with minimal structural work. They are compact, quiet, and unobtrusive, and can be fitted in a hallway, landing, or dedicated space within the home. We supply domestic platform lifts from trusted UK manufacturers including Pollock, Terry, and Wessex.
Platform lifts cover a range of applications, from a small step lift for home use to a full floor-to-floor indoor lift. The right type depends on the height difference involved, the space available, and how the lift will be used.
A wheelchair step lift or open platform lift designed for short rises, typically up to around three metres. Ideal for overcoming steps at an entrance, a split-level floor, or a small level change within the home. Minimal structural work required and a small footprint.
An indoor platform lift that travels the full height between floors. Open or partially enclosed. Suitable for wheelchair users and ambulant users. Can be fitted in a hallway or dedicated space. More building work typically involved than a step lift.
A through floor home lift that sits within the floor opening and rises between levels. One of the most popular accessible platform lifts for domestic use in the UK. Compact, quiet, and suited to most standard homes. Available new, reconditioned, or second-hand.
Platform lifts are a practical accessibility solution for a wide range of situations. They suit wheelchair users who need to move between floors without transferring, people with limited mobility who find stairs difficult or unsafe, and homeowners who want to future-proof their property for the years ahead.
A platform lift keeps your staircase completely clear and has a minimal footprint. It can be installed in most domestic properties with little disruption and is used daily by people of all ages, from those recovering from injury to older residents who want to stay in their own home long term.

A through floor lift is a type of platform lift designed specifically for domestic use. It sits within the floor opening and rises between levels, making it one of the most compact and popular options for homes in the UK. Other platform lift types include open step lifts for short rises and enclosed vertical platform lifts for full floor-to-floor travel. Sam will advise on the right type for your property at the free survey.
A step lift is a short-rise open platform lift designed to overcome a small change in level, such as a few steps at an entrance or a split-level floor. They have a compact footprint and typically require minimal structural work. They are suitable for wheelchair users and those with mobility aids.
Yes, when properly refurbished and correctly installed. Every reconditioned unit we supply goes through a thorough inspection and parts replacement process and is safety-tested before we fit it. We would not supply a lift we were not confident in.
In most cases, no. Internal installation of a platform lift in a standard domestic property does not normally require planning permission. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, we will advise you at the survey stage.
Most standard installations are completed in one to two days. The exact time depends on the type of lift, the property, and whether any preparatory work is needed. Sam will confirm a clear timeline at the survey stage.
Costs vary depending on the type of lift, the model, and the installation requirements. Sam will provide a clear, itemised quotation following the free survey so you know exactly what is involved before any work begins.
