A home lift is very much like a commercial lift that you regularly come across in a hospital or hotel, but they are designed to take fewer people allowing the lift mechanisms to be simpler and smaller.
Home lift mechanisms can be hydraulic or electric. Hydraulic lifts need a small separate pump unit, which is usually sited outside but can be located inside your home. Electric lifts have a motor box that fits on the upper-level ceiling, or above the lift.
Home lift sizes vary from one person sitting or standing up to three people, or a wheelchair and attendant. They can even accommodate heavy battery-powered mobility chairs.
A Home Lift will fall into two categories: those that require a shaft and those that don’t. Those that don’t need a shaft are called ‘through the floor’ Home lifts and can be electrically or hydraulically driven.
A Home Lift requiring a shaft will either be an electric, hydraulic or a traction lift. These types of lifts are more robust than a ‘through the floor’ Home Lift, but they have a larger footprint and are more costly to install and maintain.
A hydraulic Home Lift usually requires an external ‘power pack’ to house a small pump and hydraulic fluid. The fluid is pumped into a hydraulic ram, hidden within the lift guide rails, which pushes the lift upwards.
An electric Home Lift can work via a screw and nut system or an overhead cable/motor system. The overhead motor housing can increase the lift height and may not be viable for a room with a low ceiling height.
Home Lifts are relatively new to the domestic market, but they have been around long enough to iron out any teething issues.
A disability home lift will have a larger footprint than a standing or sit-down home lift as the lift must be able to accommodate a wheelchair or accommodate the user and their career.
Disability home lifts will have more robust mechanisms to help safely carry the additional weight.
Thought should be given to how the user will enter and exit safely, so the disability home lift will take up a little bit more space in your house compared to a standard home lit.
A Home Lift with a small footprint can be installed into most homes. The easiest solution is usually between the living room and the bedroom directly above, as the building work required is relatively straight forward. Other options can include, between the hallway and landing, the hallway and an airing cupboard or a utility room and a bedroom.
Where there isn’t a natural place for a Home Lift, we can create space by, relocating appliances such as boilers and hot water storage cylinders, moving cupboards or changing existing room layouts. If required, we can build a lift shaft onto the side of your property.
Domestic hydraulic and electric through-the-floor Home Lifts vary in size; they can accommodate one person sitting or standing, up to three people or a wheelchair and attendant. They can even accommodate heavy battery-powered mobility chairs.
A home Lift should work for all family members regardless of ability, and when sizing a Home Lift, it is always good practice to imagine how you may want to use it in the future.
The price of a Home lift will depend on the type, make and model of home lift you choose, along with the amount of work required to install the lift into your home. So it’s difficult to provide an exact cost, but as a guide:
An electric ‘through the floor’ home lift starts from £9,500
An electric platform lift in a non-fire retardant shaft typically starts around £11,000
A hydraulic ‘through the floor’ home lift starts from £11,000
Our lift assessor will be more than happy to discuss prices and options with you during your free no-obligation survey.
The amount of work involved depends on the chosen location of the Home Lift. Usually, the most straightforward installation is when a ‘through the floor’ Home Lift is located between a living room and a bedroom. There’s still quite a bit of work involved as we have to expose, trim and strengthen the floor joists to create an opening for the Home Lift to pass through, but this is probably the most complex part of the Home lift installation process and can be done without much disruption to the room below.
Many websites claim a Home Lift can be installed in one or two days, but this just refers to the Home Lift itself, not the preparation or the decoration. The type of lift and the amount of building work will determine the length of time. Generally, a straight forward installation will require a minimum installation time of three days.
Our assessor will be happy to discuss the installation process with you in more detail, during your Home Lift survey.
Straight forward ‘through the floor’ Home Lifts do not affect the existing décor. The upper-level carpet will be rolled back to create the lift aperture; the opening in the ceiling below is carefully made so as not to affect the rest of the ceiling.
For larger projects, we take care of everything, so you don’t have to worry about coordinating different trades. We’ll manage the whole Home Lift process, and on request, we can arrange for your rooms to be decorated and carpeted before we are finished.
There is a small element of noise when a Home Lift is in operation; this will vary between the different types of lift mechanisms, but on the whole, Home Lifts are very quiet.
You will never be caught between floors or get stuck in a Home Lift as they are designed to safely descend to the ground floor in the event of a power cut. Some Home Lifts have the option of onboard battery backup, so they continue to work in the event of a power cut.
A Home Lift moves more quickly and safely than a stairlift between floors. The duration will depend on the Home Lift manufacturer, but it is likely to be less than 40 seconds.
Safety is of utmost importance to us, and we only supply and install home lifts designed and manufactured to BS5900:2012.
BS 5900:2012 Powered home lifts with partially enclosed carriers and no liftway enclosures: is a British Standard specification that covers many aspects of a home lift installation, which includes the requirement to maintain the fire rating of your property whether the lift is parked in the upper or lower position.
Be aware that there are home lifts on the market that do not comply with this safety standard. So when looking to purchase a home lift, always ask for evidence of compliance with BS5900:2012
