A platform lift is a mobility solution that offers elderly and disabled individuals the comfort and convenience of an elevator combined with the ease and safety of independent use. Unlike stairlifts that need often require assistance to operate, platform lifts allow for greater freedom because the controls are accessible from within the lift itself.

Yes you can. A platform lift is ideal for installation in a home. The lift comes with its own shaft and can be installed within the building if there is space, or on an external wall of the home. We recommend you call and discuss with our Sales Team and we can provide a Quotation to you.

We can review the condition of your lift and recommend maintenance and upgrade options.

If the lift is being upgraded or replaced, we will provide a detailed program of work with our quotation.

Lift upgrades typically take less time than a complete replacement.

For Lift replacements, the rule of thumb durations are

• 1 week for removal of the existing lift
• 1 week for building works, this depends on scope
• 1 week per floor + 1 week (for lift replacement).

Therefore, for a lift with 3 floors, that needs to be removed and replaced, with additional building works, the time to replace your lift = 1 + 1 + 4 = 6 weeks ball-park estimate.

Octagon will not provide a budget price without completing an inspection of your lift. Once an inspection is completed, we can provide budget prices with options for your consideration, or we can provide a detailed Quotation.

Lift upgrades and replacements are a core part of our business and we have been completing this specialist type of work since 2007.

Therefore we have the experience and expertise to work confidently with Lift Replacements and Upgrades.
