Naturally, you may have numerous inquiries about the installation of a Home Lift. This is a substantial financial investment that can greatly enhance your home, so it’s only natural to have questions like “Will there be a mess?”, “How long will it take?” and “Is there a lot of noise?” Only Lifts North follows a specific series of steps when recommending and installing a Home Lift.
1. Assessing Your Home and Needs
Before we embark on the journey of installing a home lift, it’s important to understand your reasons for wanting one. When you first get in touch with us, we’ll inquire about your household, your specific requirements, and your expectations. We’ll also discuss the layout of your home.
One of our assessors will arrange to visit your home and have a conversation with you about your unique needs. After that, we’ll take some measurements and advise you on which of our lifts is suitable for your home.
By asking questions and evaluating your home, we can gain a better understanding of your needs and determine whether a personal (1/2 person) lift or a larger lift capable of accommodating a wheelchair is the best solution for your household.
2. Answering Your Questions
Feel free to keep in mind the following information:
During the assessment, you can inquire about Home Lifts and their advantages, as well as understand the installation process in detail. For instance, many people wonder if the installation process will disrupt their walls and decor—rest assured, we will guide you through each step to address your concerns.
At Only Lifts North, we prioritize a relaxed and pressure-free approach, and we will never pressure you into buying a Home Lift.
3. Providing You With a No-Obligation Quote
After we have mutually agreed on the appropriate Home Lift for your needs, we will then furnish you with a formal quotation for the Home Lift (not an estimate). The quoted price covers the complete Home Lift system as well as installation expenses.
We will afford you ample time to consider whether you want to proceed with ordering a Home Lift from us. You can be confident that the price we provide will be the final amount you pay, with no undisclosed fees or additional costs. Our commitment lies in being transparent and forthright.
If you choose to purchase one of our Home Lifts, we will request a deposit and schedule a date for the installation of your Home Lift. The lead times will vary based on the Home Lift you select, typically ranging from 4 to 12 weeks.
4. Installation Day
Upon the day of your installation, our team will come to your home to begin setting up and initiating the process of creating an aperture.
Typically, the building work will take 1-2 days, followed by 1-7 days for the lift installation (depending on lift types and the number of floors). Additionally, there may be an extra day after installation for final adjustments and making sure everything is in good order.
Since structural work is involved, we will coordinate with your local building control to ensure compliance with Building Regulations. This is all part of the service and included in the process.
Before we depart, we will tidy up after ourselves and ensure to demonstrate how your new Home Lift operates, how to troubleshoot, and how to use it safely.
Working with a proper lift company
When considering a Home Lift, it’s important to make a wise investment that can promote independence and ensure long-term living arrangements. It’s advisable to purchase a Home Lift from a reputable lift company rather than a third-party agent who may only sell your information for a commission. At Only Lifts North, we handle the entire project and provide quality service and excellent after-sales support.
