A lift at home is not only for the wealthiest people anymore and benefits may go far beyond the costs. We can assure you that wide range of models and types we recommend, as well as high level of customisation, allow to find the perfect lift for you and your home style.
Installation of some lifts requires very limited building work, with no need for any permissions – but it undoubtedly adds huge value to any house, in financial but also non-financial terms. For example, you will be able to take a trolley upstairs and not wake up your baby as well as move vacuum, small furniture or heavy luggage between floors easily. The lift may become an important convenience for both occupants and guests.

Please bear in mind that the final decision about the lift type and manufacture may be taken only after the survey visit as it strictly depends on the building.

Once you are happy about the price, you will be asked to give us a short ‘go ahead’ agreement in the way which is most convenient for you (a letter, an email).

Depending on the model, manufacturer and the customisation level, it usually takes 8 to 10 weeks for the lift to come as the lift is constructed specifically for your needs. The lift is delivered straight to your home. Before the delivery date, we will contact you in order to arrange the installation.
On the dates when installation is booked, team of engineers work over fitting your lift. The installation, depending on the specific features, usually takes from 2 (for simple through floor lift) up to 5 days (for the bigger passenger lift). Once everything is ready, the lift is tested and the proper way of usage is demonstrated to you in order to make sure the lift meet the safety norms and of course your demands. You are also provided with the instruction manual.
Our engineers are fully qualified to provide the maintenance of the equipment, repairs or removals if necessary. We give 12 months warranty for the lift after installation. During this time, we do the service and any repairs (not classified as a misuse) free of charge.

Our engineers thoroughly inspect the lift and let you know about any potential problems which may help you to save money if the problem would evolve.

The price depends on the specific equipment. Usually 2-year contract is paid in two yearly premiums in advance, but it may be agreed to pay it in other way convenient to you, for example quarterly or monthly.
If you don’t have a contract with us and need the equipment to be fixed or serviced, you can always phone or email us and we will attend as quickly as we can.

We support ambition, development and professional attitude as we believe those qualities allow us to provide best possible services to our customers.
Atlas Lifts goes with the times and uses the most recent technological developments in the field of IT. Maximus, the system which contains data base of our customers and equipment, has been created especially for Atlas’ needs and is constantly improved to serve both our admin team, as well as our clients who may be provided with clear and factual information.

Through floor lift travels through the aperture in the ceiling/floor in order to get to the upper/lower floor. When you are downstairs, the lift can be moved quietly and discreetly back upstairs, leaving the whole space free from obstruction. It has therefore minimal impact on the home living area which makes it ideal for domestic use, even in homes with not huge amount of space. It is also quite easy to reinstall in another property if you move home.
The huge advantage of through floor lift is space saving and in the same time having very modern and highly customisable look. What is more, through floor lifts need less structural alterations than lifts or platforms which makes them more affordable. The cost of the lift depends highly on specific features and customisation. The installation is also quite quickly, taking usually around 2 days, as there is no need for a pit.
This kind of lift may be put in the middle between space saving of a through floor lift and the longevity of a traditional lift. Platform lift does include a shaft but it differs from the standard lift as only the platform and not the whole cabin travels up and down. Its main advantage when compared with the passenger lift is that it requires less structural changes and there are usually no contraindications to get it installed in almost every home as only a pit of around 7.5cm is required.
If you are positive you prefer the lift with a shaft, platform lift is recommended for homes with more limited space. It is also good solution for lower number of passengers (the maximum capacity is usually around 400 kg) and shorter distances, therefore may be good choice for private property. It is also cheaper than proper passenger lifts but more expensive than through floor lift.
