Case Studies

A homeowner at a seaside property was struggling with a steep flight of 39 steps between street level and their front door, raising serious concerns about long-term mobility and day-to-day practicality. They turned to Level Access Lifts for a platform stair lift solution that could not only tackle the significant change in level, but also withstand the harsh, corrosive conditions of a coastal environment.

Harewood House, an 18th-century country house and popular visitor attraction in Yorkshire, needed a replacement platform stairlift for the external steps leading to its main State Hall entrance. Level Access Lifts installed a GTLE inclined stairlift in a standard aluminium silver finish, with a fully bespoke rail system engineered to accommodate six steps of varying height and depth. A compelling example of how an inclined stairlift can deliver modern, dignified access in a sensitive heritage environment without impacting on the historic fabric of the building.

St Oswald’s Church in Rugby needed a discreet, dignified access solution for its stepped chancel entrance. Level Access Lifts installed a GTLE inclined stairlift, finished in a bespoke RAL colour to blend with the church’s existing oak-framed interior. A practical example of how a stairlift for churches can deliver fully independent access without compromising the character of a historic building.

The clean, modern appearance fitted the hallway interior, and the compact design meant no structural alterations where required.

A resident of a domestic property in London required a wheelchair access solution to overcome a step leading from the patio area up into the rest of the garden. Using a ramp proved unsuitable due to the limited space available and gradient. The space constraints and gradient made a ramp unsuitable, leading the customer to opt for a low-rise step lift, as recommended by the builder.
