Consistently specified across Stockport's residential properties, commercial premises, offices, and listed buildings.

A home lift is a powered lifting device that allows you to move freely between floors of your property without the need for a stairlift. Unlike a stairlift, a home lift travels vertically through the floor, which means wheelchair users can remain in their chair throughout the journey. Modern homelifts are compact, quiet, and designed to sit discreetly within your living space — available in a range of finishes to suit both traditional and contemporary Stockport properties.
Home lift installation in Stockport typically takes one to two days and requires no major structural work beyond the floor opening. Most models operate from a standard 13-amp socket and include battery backup, ensuring the lift can be used safely during a power cut.
The most popular choice for Chester homeowners, through-floor platform lifts travel vertically between floors through an opening in the ceiling. They are compact, competitively priced, and suitable for wheelchair users. Leading models include the Ava Swift, Ava Reach, and Pollock 20 Series.
A premium option for those who want a more conventional lift experience. Enclosed cabin lifts such as the Ava Rise and Pollock Residential Elevator feature full glass panels, internal lighting, and a fold-down seat — suitable for both ambulant users and wheelchair users. These are a popular choice for larger properties in Christleton, Upton, and across the wider Cheshire area.
For properties with a small number of steps rather than a full floor change, a vertical platform step lift can be a more practical and cost-effective solution than a full homelift — particularly useful in Chester's many older period and listed properties.
Home lift costs in Chester are in line with national UK prices:
Through-floor homelifts from approximately £17,500 installed
Enclosed cabin lifts from £22,000 to £35,000 depending on model and specification
Vertical platform step lifts from approximately £6,389 installed
VAT relief is available on home lifts installed for a person with a qualifying disability, which can represent a significant saving on the overall cost. You may also be eligible for a Disabled Facilities Grant of up to £30,000 through Cheshire West and Chester Council — contact us and we can advise on the process.
