When you choose 1st Choice Homelifts, you’re not just buying a lift; you’re choosing a team that really cares about giving you access to your whole house and will manage the entire process for you.
It starts with a free, no-obligation home survey where we can assess your home to see where the lift will be best placed. We'll also assess you and your wheelchair, if you have one, to make sure the lift can accommodate your needs and will be easy for you to use.
We'll also identify the building works that are needed. There will be a hole to cut in the ceiling, and the floor above for the lift to travel through the floor, and the floor itself is strengthened. There may also be pipes in the floor that need re-routing. We'll also need power nearby to power the lift, too. A full specification of the works will be made. On occasion, when the floor is lifted, it may be that there is unforeseen work to do in extreme circumstances, but should this happen, we will communicate with you regarding further work.
Once ordered, we can organise our approved contractors to undertake the preparation work, which can take a couple of days or longer if the job is more complex. The lift can then be installed by our engineers in a couple of days. The project is all managed by us, so we can coordinate everything for you, making the process hassle-free.
As 5* endorsed Which? Trusted Traders and members of the British Healthcare Trades Association, we focus on doing things properly throughout the process of specifying a lift, through the installation, and looking after you ongoing.
A home lift should give you confidence for years to come — and good aftercare is a big part of that. We provide ongoing servicing and maintenance whenever you need us. Your Wessex homelift would need to be serviced twice a year, and so you would need to factor this into the cost of ownership.
All models come with a 12 month manufacturers warranty, and once the warranty has expired, you will go onto our regular service and maintenance schedule, where you can book an appointment for our service engineer to attend when due. If you ever need a routine repair, we are here to help.
Our local engineers are trained on the Wessex products by the manufacturer, and you can be assured of an excellent service and high standard of workmanship.
As an independent lift company, we’re not tied to just one manufacturer, so we can provide you with the best assessment, advice, and product that will suit your needs and your home. With over 20 years of expertise in stairlifts, homelifts, and wheelchair lifts, you can be assured that you are in the safest of hands. We’ll explain your options clearly, in plain English, and help you choose the most practical and appropriate solution for your home and your future.
We are supported by all our manufacturers and are authorised to sell and work on their products.
The cost of a Wessex home lift varies depending on the model and the platform size you will need. There are also other optional features that can add to the cost. Prices can typically start from £13,500+ depending on specification.
There's also the building work to take into account too, which can only be priced on a site visit so we can take in all your requirements.
A free home survey allows us to give you an accurate, written quotation with no obligation and no pressure.
Our friendly, experienced surveyors will visit your home to:
Assess your space
Talk through your needs
Recommend the right lift
Provide clear, honest advice
The survey is completely free, with no obligation.
We also have a VM Wessex lift in our Calne showroom that travels from our ground floor showroom to the first floor office area which customers can try out. So if you'd like to see the Wessex product in action, please book an appointment with one of our assessors, and we can check showroom availability.
We do have a fully accessible, level access showroom with disabled toilet facilities, and parking right outside the front door.
