Quote: home lift or domestic lifting system
E.g.: home elevator, glass shaft, hydraulic or MRL, 2 to 4 levels
State levels, uses and proposed position. Supply available plans and mention other planned work. Request layout and structural assessment before choosing; cabin area is not the entire required footprint.
Define use and access
Specify people, wheelchair, assistance, doors and manoeuvres. Request usable dimensions and load limits. A domestic designation does not automatically suit every mobility situation.
Assess floor openings and support
Stannah’s S3 separately documents cabin dimensions, floor opening and required heights. Even a shaft-free marketed solution needs checked placement. Assess openings, support and connections; self-supporting structure does not automatically remove building work.
Identify the actual equipment category
ITM distinguishes lifts, other lifting devices and exclusions, including commissioning date for lifts. Identify category, conformity documents, procedures and checks. A home-lift trade name does not justify applying one standard to everything.
Organise installation and assistance
Specify responsibility for trades, protection of openings and first-use conditions. Request model-specific stoppage, assistance-call and rescue arrangements. Do not assume automatic nearest-floor return in every power cut.

On quotation
Compare equipment, associated structure, openings, power, fitting, checks and finishes for the same project. Technologies are not ranked by price, noise or consumption without comparable data. No local fixed budget or universal schedule is established.
Subsidies and grants
No grant is deducted from the budget shown here. If a quote mentions support, request the exact scheme and confirmation of your eligibility before including it in financing.
Frequently asked questions
Is less than a square metre enough?
Do not assume so. Assess footprint, access, manoeuvres and model requirements together.
Does shaft-free mean no building work?
No. Check floor opening, support, protection and connections.
Does EN 81-41 cover every domestic device?
Identify exact equipment and applicable texts. A trade designation alone does not determine the regime.
Is funding lower than for a stairlift?
No general comparison is established. The authority must assess need and funding.
