Lifts For Residential Buildings

Futureproof your home with a residential lift. A well-designed home lift can boost property value by up to 25% and improve day-to-day accessibility. At Alliance Platform Lifts, we provide reliable, space-efficient lift solutions that are bespoke to your property. Whether you’re making it easier to move between floors, planning for ageing in place, or upgrading your building with a space-saving feature that adds everyday ease, we have a residential lift for you.

At Alliance Platform Lifts, we specialise in platform lifts for residential buildings across the UK. From delightful townhouses and listed properties to new builds and multi-unit developments, our expert team works alongside homeowners, architects, and developers to deliver smooth, stylish lift systems that enhance both function and form.

Home Lift Solutions for Any Property Type

Our residential elevators and lifts are designed with flexibility in mind. Whether you’re planning a full home renovation or seeking a minimal disruption solution for a compact space, we have an option to suit you. Unlike bulky traditional passenger lifts, our platform lift cabins are space efficient and can be customised to match any interior.

If you’re looking for a lift that feels truly part of the home, explore our cabin lift range, perfect for both new builds and retrofitted installations available for compact solutions and single press operation much like a typical passenger lift. Our APL3 model is especially popular for external applications, available with bespoke platform dimensions while our glass lifts offer a modern, light-filled alternative for those wanting a striking design feature.

Safe, Stylish & Space-Efficient Design

When choosing a residential lift, safety and appearance are equally important. That’s why all our platform lifts are manufactured to the highest UK and EU safety standards, including DDA Compliance, Part M of the Building Regulations, and CE certification.

Our luxury home lifts operate smoothly and quietly, offering a calm ride across floors. They’re also incredibly space-efficient, requiring low pit and headroom, making them ideal for tight or awkward locations. With no need for a machine room or major alterations, installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, helping you avoid the disruption and long lead times associated with conventional lifts.

Looking for style and discretion? Our home lift range includes models with panoramic glass, gratifying finishes, and subtle design details. Each lift can be tailored to your aesthetic with a wide range of materials, colours and finishes.

Our Bespoke Design & Installation Process

At Alliance Platform Lifts, we take pride in our collaborative and customer focused approach. From the first call to final handover, your dedicated Project Manager will lead you every step of the way.

We begin by understanding your property, preferences, and accessibility goals. Whether you’re an architect designing a new build or a homeowner upgrading a period property, we offer design consultations to help identify the best configuration for your space.

If you’re working with interior designers, that’s no problem. Our lifts are fully customisable with materials and finishes that complement your home’s design. And because our lifts don’t require extensive structural changes, we minimise disruption to your day-to-day life.

Installation typically takes just 1-2 weekss, thanks to our compact designs and experienced UK-based installers.
