Why Choose a Home Lift?
A home lift gives you complete access to every floor of your property. Whether carrying laundry, shopping, or simply avoiding the strain of the stairs, it makes everyday living simpler and more comfortable.
For wheelchair users, older adults, or anyone with reduced mobility, a home lift provides reliable independence and keeps your whole home accessible. Installing one also future-proofs your property, removing the need to move or redesign your home as needs change.

Home Lift FAQs
How much space does a home lift need? |
Our home lifts are designed with compact footprints, often no larger than a standard wardrobe. With built-in shaft enclosures and options for cupboard-to-cupboard or stairwell void installations, you donβt need extensive space or major structural changes. |
How much does a home lift cost? |
Prices vary depending on the model. For more information, please contact sales@gartec.com Prices include expert installation and a minimum warranty of two years (see warranties FAQ below). |
How long does installation take? |
Most Gartec home lifts can be installed in just a few days, depending on the model and site requirements. Only minimal building work is required β typically just a small opening in the ceiling or a shallow pit β meaning less disruption to your home. |
Can a home lift be fitted into an existing property? |
Yes. Our lifts are modular and self-supporting, so they donβt rely on load-bearing walls. This makes them suitable for retrofitting in most homes, even where space is limited or ceilings are sloped. Our team will work with you to design a custom solution. |
Are home lifts safe for children? |
Safety is at the heart of every Gartec lift. Features include smart door sensors that reopen if obstructed, emergency stop buttons, safety edges, and battery backup for safe lowering during a power cut. Optional key locks and child-lock functions provide extra reassurance for families. |
Do home lifts add value to a property? |
Yes. A home lift makes multi-level living more practical and appealing, particularly to buyers looking for long-term accessibility. By providing easier movement between floors and improved everyday comfort, a home lift can increase the value and marketability of your home. |
Whatβs the cost compared to moving to a bungalow? |
Installing a home lift is often more cost-effective than selling and moving to a single-storey property. It allows you to stay in the home you love, avoid the expense of moving, and adapt your space for future needs. |
Do home lifts use a lot of electricity? |
No. Gartec lifts use energy-efficient screw and nut drive systems and small motors, often consuming less power than a standard household kettle or hairdryer. This keeps running costs low while reducing environmental impact. |
What maintenance is required? |
We recommend at least two service visits per year. Our in-house engineers carry out full safety checks, lubrication, and cleaning, with optional service packages for ongoing care, emergency call-outs, and LOLER inspections.Β Learn more about our servicing packages and wider lift services, including lift refurbishment and lift replacement. |
What warranties do Gartec home lifts come with? |
All home lifts in our range include a minimum two-year warranty as standard. Our Aritco range comes with an extended five-year warranty, plus ten years on the screw and nut drive system. Vimec and Barduva models are covered by the standard two-year Gartec warranty, ensuring reliable protection across the full range. |
Is the BC Platform Stair Lift (Straight) still available? |
The BC Platform Stair Lift (Straight) remains available on request for suitable projects. This inclined platform lift provides safe, economical access up straight staircases, indoors or outdoors, and is often chosen where space is limited or a vertical lift isnβt required.Β For most homes, our main lift range offers the ideal solution, but we can supply this alternative if your project calls for it. |
