Where can a wheelchair lift be installed?
An open wheelchair lift can be installed almost anywhere to provide a sense of independence and convenience. You may have seen disability lifts before in care homes and hospitals, or hotels, restaurants and shops, but they can also be used to make educational facilities, leisure centres and historic and public buildings more user-friendly.

How much do access lifts cost?
Access lifts are designed to suit various buildings and you’ll discover several styles and sizes – making it easier for you to find one that will suit your environment and meet the demands of your customers.
The cost of access lifts is dependent on several factors. Before purchasing platform lifts, we will be sure to assess the environment, budgets and needs of the users before proposing one or more solutions.
What factors affect the cost of access lifts?
- Travel
How far you need the lift to travel (how high)? – this will determine the height and shaft of the lift.
- Entrance
How many entrances you need for the lift? (consider the cost of doors and frames).
- Glazing
You often have the choice of solid panels or glass; they both look great but are priced differently.
- Automatic doors
A wheelchair lift with automatic doors will cost more than one with manual doors.
- Colour and size
Lifts with greater capacity are bound to cost you more, as will lifts that incorporate any modifications or special finishes.
- Ownership
Once you have purchased the lift, you’ll need to consider the cost of operation, maintenance and repairs after the warranty period has ended.
What are the Building Regulations?
The Building Regulations ensure that renovations, conversions, new buildings, and extensions (commercial and domestic) are going to be high performing and safe.
The regulations cover such topics as fire protection, accessibility, structural integrity, protection against falls, etc.
The Building Regulations are set out and defined by the English and Welsh governments.
