When a lift needs to come out

Sometimes a lift simply needs to come out. It might be that you’re selling the property, circumstances have changed, or you’re dealing with a bereavement and the lift is no longer needed. Whatever the reason, the work needs to be done properly.

That means a team who understands the equipment, can handle the structural reinstatement, and will leave your home looking as it should. We carry out complete through floor lift removal in domestic and commercial properties, from the initial electrical isolation through to reinstating the floor and ceiling openings.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Most removals, including reinstatement of floor and ceiling, are completed within a single day. The exact time depends on the model and the extent of structural work needed. Sam will confirm at the survey stage.

    Yes. We take all equipment and waste from site and dispose of it responsibly. You do not need to arrange a skip or separate disposal.

    In some cases we are able to purchase the lift as part of the removal. Whether this applies to your lift depends on its make, model, and condition. Sam will let you know at the survey stage.

    Costs vary depending on the model, the property, and the extent of reinstatement work required. Sam will provide a clear, itemised quotation following the free survey so you know exactly what is involved before any work begins.

    Can’t fault these guys at all. Sam and Eric came round to remove an old lift from our house. They showed up nice and early, worked non-stop, explained what they were doing every step of the way, did a fantastic job of replacing the ceiling/floorboards and left zero mess whatsoever. They made light work of the job and were very reasonably priced too. Very friendly, knowledgeable guys who I would recommend to anyone looking to have a lift installed/removed.
