1. Assessment & Quote
We have many different types of lifts for your house that can meet various needs. Our products will improve your lifestyle and your home. Our homelifts are compact in size and big on impact, making your day-to-day life easier and more comfortable.
If you're interested in installing a domestic lift, we will arrange for one of our consultants to visit your home. Upon the visit, depending on your requirements, our consultant will explain the different options we have for you. We will then provide you with a quote to decide in your own time, with no pressure on you at any point.
2. Survey and Order
If you decide to go ahead and order from us, all you then need to do is call us to get everything moving. We will arrange for a full survey to be carried out at your home to ensure a structurally sound installation.
We will also take a deposit, arrange any preparatory work with our trusted sub-contractors and suggest a date for installation that is convenient for you.
3. Preparatory work & Installation
In most cases, installation of our compact home lifts is quick and easy. It only takes a few days to fit your compact passenger lift, including all building work. Our highly trained Stannah engineers will carry out all the work to the highest standards.
The first step is to create an opening in the ceiling so the lift can move between floors. Steel tracks are then attached to the opening, the ceiling, and the upper ceiling. Once the lift is installed, it'll move from floor to floor smoothly and quietly.
Our installers will then give you a full demonstration of how to use your new lift and ensure everything is clean and tidy before leaving.

Buying a Stannah homelift
How does a homelift work?
Our electrically powered, reliable self-contained drive system, located at the top of the cabin, moves your homelift smoothly and quietly between floors. There’s no need to install a motor room or hydraulic pump nearby, making it a compact solution for your home.
Can a homelift take a wheelchair?
The S2 is ideal for up to two people standing, whilst the S3 is large enough to accommodate up to three people standing or a wheelchair.
Will my walls be strong enough?
The Uplift is self-supporting which means it does not require any supporting walls.
Will there be a step into the lift?
All our home lifts offer low-level access without the need for an unsightly pit on the ground floor.
How many floors can a homelift travel?
Our compact homelifts are designed to travel between two storeys.
Is a compact homelift noisy?
No, the noise level is less than 50 decibels, which is equivalent to the noise made by your refrigerator making it extremely quiet during operation. The electrically powered self-contained drive system moves your lift safely and quietly between floors.
What if there is a power cut?
In the event of a loss of mains power, there is a battery backup system that ensures your return to the ground floor safely.
Do I need a building notice?
Yes. You will need a building notice to have a homelift installed. We will take care of all of the necessary paperwork so that you don’t have to.
Do I need an architect or builder?
Minimal structural work will be required to install the Uplift into your home. We will make all of the arrangements necessary, but if you are already working with a builder or architect, we will happily collaborate with them.
How often does my lift need servicing?
Just like any major household appliance, we would recommend a yearly service to keep your homelift running to its full potential. All of our homelifts come with a two-year warranty and include an annual service.
