Terry Lifts are made bespoke for your requirements following a free no obligation survey.
At Terry Lifts, we offer a comprehensive service from your initial inquiry to the aftercare of your lift. If you prefer to use your own builder, a detailed specification guide is available. Typically, no major structural modifications are needed. For optimal safety and performance, Terry Lifts should be installed by a Terry-trained engineer.
If you are thinking of having a lift installed at your property, we need to do a survey for the following reasons:
1. To check if the lift can be safely installed in your property.
2. To assess how much building work will need to be done to your property so that we can install the lift.
This allows us to give you an accurate quotation and also helps us to carry out the installation as quickly as possible, minimising disruption to you. It also gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have or ask for advice on choosing the best product for your needs.

The speed of our lifts are regulated by the latest Machinery Directive associated with each lift.
When it comes to smoke and fire protection, not all home lifts are created equal. In England and Wales, there is no legal requirement to install fire protection on the underside of the top cover trapdoor for residential through-floor lifts. This lack of a fire barrier between floors can significantly affect efforts to limit the spread of smoke and fire, which is crucial for providing time to escape safely. While some home lift suppliers believe that the addition of fire doors helps to mitigate the risk, as fire doors only deal with the horizontal spread of smoke and flame, this is insufficient fire protection for a property with a through-floor lift.
All our domestic through-floor lifts are certified for fire and smoke protection by Warrington Fire, a global leader in fire testing, inspection, certification, and advisory services. They comply with the BS5900:2012 standard for through-floor lifts, ensuring safety both upstairs and downstairs, and come with integrated smoke alarms.

Yes. The sealed trapdoor of our home lifts have a load capacity of 250kg or 39 stone. Should the lift be travelling up when you step on/are standing on the trapdoor the lift will detect the load and will immediately stop.
If there is a power cut to your property, the battery backup will maintain operational control of the lift to lower you to the ground floor.
As an alternative, a manual lowering system can be operated with assistance from outside the lift to enable you to travel to the ground floor. In addition, we provide a telephone inside the lift (selected through floor lift models). The telephone will require a connection to your incoming telephone landline.
Some of our lifts come with a full battery backup, so they will continue to work even if there is a power cut to your property. The batteries are trickle-fed from the mains supply but will operate for up to 30 cycles.
All of our home lifts have a simple to use one-touch call and send buttons, similar to that of a conventional passenger lift. The landing call stations are wireless and operate the same way as the cabin control. The absence of hard wiring and trunking on your walls makes for a neat, unobtrusive finish.
No, however, Building Control approval is required as you are altering the structural integrity of your floor when you have an aperture cut in the floor for your lift. We will always double joist the floor (if a traditional wooden floor) when forming the aperture. This is the only way to ensure that the original structural integrity of your floor is maintained. We will arrange for the local Building Control to come along and approve the work carried out.
Our through floor lifts do not require load bearing walls to fix to. In fact, we do not require fixing to a wall at all. We fix to the lower floor, to the first floor joists and the ceiling at the upper level. This alleviates the need to fix to a party wall.
The price of a home lift depends on several factors, which include, where you are located, the specification of the lift and the degree of building work required. We offer a free, no obligation survey of your home so you can obtain a comprehensive quote. A home lift should be seen as an investment that can have a positive impact on the quality of your life, add value to your property and help you to enjoy your home for many more years to come.
To comply with legislation all of our though floor lifts and Melody 3 platform lifts should be permanently connected to a dedicated power supply. For more details please refer to our Technical Specifications for individual products.
