Home Lifts - Level Access Lifts Ltd

Home lifts come in a wide range of shapes and sizes – including passenger elevators, hidden lifts, step lifts, and inclined platforms (stairlifts).

The team at Level Access Lifts has extensive knowledge of the residential platform lifts available and will happily help narrow your options down.

To determine the best lift for your home, we’ll need to know a little bit more about your requirements – including why you need a residential lift, who will use it, and how much space you have available. So, why not give us a call on 023 8081 4924 today?

Residential platform lifts come equipped with a host of safety features and can be used as wheelchair lifts.

Most platform lifts will incorporate a handrail which provides extra support for passengers, allowing them to stabilise themselves when travelling up and down.

An emergency alarm can also be found inside the lift. Though it’s unlikely, if the lift suddenly breaks down or the doors won’t open, pushing the alarm button will send out a call for help, letting someone know that you’re stuck.

Battery backup is another useful safety feature of residential lifts. They’ll still operate in the event of a power cut.

Residential floor lifts usually have a safety gate, too. Your lift will only start to ascend or descend once the gate is closed and free from obstructions. This way, you can relax knowing it won’t start moving when someone is entering or exiting the lift.

Something else to look out for is anti-slip flooring. This will eliminate the risk of users falling. Although wheelchair brakes must be applied, it will also prevent wheels from sliding forwards and backwards.

All of these features enhance the safety and comfort of passengers, but they also make it easier for you to transport large, cumbersome items up and down the stairs, ensuring you don’t trip and injure yourself or damage anything.

The cost of a home lift depends on the type of lift and its dimensions, whether it is to go inside or outside, the complexity of the design and the amount of construction work required for the installation.

Other factors that will influence home lift prices include the distance your lift has to travel and the electrical work involved. Our best advice is to talk to the team.

We’ll discuss your requirements to establish which residential elevator best suits your needs. It’s also helpful to know what your budget is so that we can show you only the most suitable options.

Residential lifts typically boast an ultra-sleek design and are discreet enough to fit in with your surroundings.

Though they come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, most of the lifting platforms we supply, here at Level Access Lifts, have a compact footprint. Meaning they shouldn’t take up too much floor space in your home.

If space is at a premium already, it may be worth choosing an inclined platform lift – either with a straight or curved rail – to run at the side of your staircase. Unlike other lifting platforms for residential use, these feature a folding platform that can be neatly tucked away when the lift isn’t in operation. This way, the rest of your household will be able to use the stairs without any obstructions.

As a general rule of thumb, it pays to check the residential lift’s dimensions and compare them against the space you have available.

However, if you’re still not sure which model will best suit your space, then why not get in touch with the team at Level Access Lifts?

Our specialists can arrange a survey to determine if the area where you intend to install your new lift is suitable for the residential lift you had in mind. If it isn’t, we can recommend a more feasible alternative.

Home lifts can be installed almost anywhere inside and sometimes outside the home.

For example, if there are steps leading up to your property, having a lift installed at the side or somewhere easily noticeable can be a real boon – making it easier (and safer) for visitors to get to your front door.

Alternatively, if you’re looking to make your home more accessible on the inside, a residential lift can take centre-stage in your hallway.

For a more discreet look, it can be tucked away in the corner of a room, taking up as little space as possible.

If space permits, you could install your home lift in the void of your staircase. Or opt for a stairlift that makes it easier for friends and family to move between the rooms upstairs and downstairs.

If you’d like to discuss your requirements in further detail with a member of our friendly team, give us a call on 023 8081 4924. We’ll happily assist you in identifying the most suitable spot for your residential lift to be installed.
