Frequently asked questions
How Much Do Home Lifts Cost?

The cost of a home lift can vary based on factors such as the size, style, number of floors it will serve, and the customisation options you choose. For example, lifts with premium materials, advanced features, or bespoke designs will typically cost more than standard models. The cost of building works must also be considered.

To provide an accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs, we recommend contacting us for a personalised quote based on your home’s layout and your individual preferences.

Why Choose a Home Lift?

A home lift is a practical solution for enhancing accessibility within your home. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with mobility challenges, offering a safe and convenient way to move between floors. Beyond its functional advantages, a home lift can significantly improve your quality of life, support independent living, and even boost your property’s market value, making it a worthwhile investment for the future. A home lift provides ease of access throughout your property with the option for single press operation. A home lift can even increase the value of your home, as an attractive centre piece or improved accessibility making it appeal to a wider audience.

How Much Space Is Needed for a Home Lift?

Home lifts are cleverly designed to fit into compact spaces, making them suitable for a wide range of properties. Our APL1 can be installed in as little as 700mm wide! To determine the exact space requirements for your home, we recommend scheduling a no obligation site assessment with our team of experts.

How Does a Home Lift Work?

A home lift moves an enclosed lift car between floors using a powered drive system, providing a smooth, passenger-style experience within a residential setting. Our home lifts can operate using either hydraulic or traction technology, depending on the design and application.

Hydraulic home lifts use a pump and hydraulic fluid to raise and lower the lift, offering smooth, reliable operation and are well suited to low-rise homes. Traction home lifts use an electric motor with ropes or belts and a counterweight, delivering efficient operation, precise levelling, and lower energy consumption.

Both systems incorporate advanced safety features and intuitive controls. The most suitable option depends on the layout of the home, travel height, and usage requirements.

Can a Home Lift Take a Wheelchair?

Yes, many home lifts are specifically designed to accommodate wheelchairs, making them an excellent choice for users with mobility aids. These lifts are built with spacious interiors and wide door openings to ensure easy access and comfort. Whether you need to transport a wheelchair or other mobility equipment, a home lift can cater to your needs.

Will There Be a Step into the Lift?

Most home lifts are installed to provide a level or near-level entry, depending on the available pit depth. If your installation site requires it, a shallow ramp can be added to further enhance accessibility. This ensures the lift meets the needs of all users, including those with wheelchairs or reduced mobility.

How Many Floors Can a Home Lift Travel?

Our APL1 Elite Cabin Lift can serve up to 6 floors. For homes with more complex requirements, custom solutions may be available to extend the lift’s reach. Our team will assess your property to recommend the best lift for your needs.

Is a Compact Home Lift Noisy?

Modern home lifts are engineered to operate with minimal noise, and professional installation will reduce operational noise. Hydraulic and traction-based models are particularly quiet, producing only low-level sound during operation. This makes them suitable for homes where noise levels need to be kept discreet and unobtrusive.

Do I Need an Architect or Builder?

While you may not always need an architect or builder for a home lift installation, their involvement can be valuable for more complex projects, such as custom designs or significant structural changes. Our team can collaborate with your chosen professionals or manage the entire process on your behalf, ensuring the lift is installed efficiently.

How Often Does My Lift Need Servicing?

To keep your home lift in optimal working condition, it’s recommended to have it serviced at least twice a year. We offer a comprehensive 12 month service agreement with every lift and ongoing maintenance packages. This helps ensure safe operation, extends the lift’s lifespan, and prevents unexpected issues. Our team can provide a servicing plan tailored to your lift’s usage and requirements, giving you peace of mind year-round.
