A domestic lift (also called a residential or through-floor lift) makes moving between floors effortless and safe. It’s a popular choice not only for those with mobility needs but also for homeowners planning ahead.
Compared to a stairlift, a home lift is often seen as a more stylish and practical option, especially when two people — such as a carer and the person they support — need to travel together.
From our head office and showroom in Calne, Wiltshire, and our branch in Ferndown, Dorset, we cover the whole of Hampshire, including:
Wherever you’re based in Hampshire, our Hampshire and Dorset engineers can help with everything from installation and servicing through to repairs and removals.

The price depends on the model, size, and features, plus any building works required. As a guideline, domestic lifts start from £12,500 plus building works. We’ll provide a free survey and personalised quote.
Most home lifts installed indoors do not need planning permission. Listed buildings or external changes may require approval. A building control notice is needed, and we can handle this process for you.
Most lifts, including building works, are installed within around three days. We’ll confirm an exact schedule during your home survey.
We provide a wide range of Stiltz and Wessex lifts, including compact through-floor models, standard home lifts, and larger platform lifts suitable for wheelchairs.
Yes — our Hampshire and Dorset based engineers offer routine servicing, emergency repairs, and ongoing maintenance to ensure your lift continues to run smoothly.
We occasionally have a limited stock of reconditioned lifts, which are fully inspected and refurbished by our own engineers. These provide a cost-effective and sustainable option.
