About Us
Yorkshire Values. National Expertise. Accessibility Without Compromise.
Creating Better Access. Building Lasting Relationships.
At A1 Access Lifts, we believe accessibility is about far more than moving people between floors. It’s about creating independence, improving quality of life and making homes, workplaces and public buildings more inclusive for everyone.
Proudly family-run and based in Yorkshire, we’ve built our business on traditional values, honest advice and exceptional customer service. With over 50 years of combined lift industry experience, our knowledgeable team delivers high-quality lift and accessibility solutions to customers across the United Kingdom.
From the moment you contact us, our focus is simple: to understand your requirements, recommend the most appropriate solution and deliver a project that exceeds expectations. Whether we’re installing a single home lift or managing a complex multi-site commercial project, every customer receives the same commitment to professionalism, communication and attention to detail.
As we’ve grown, our values have never changed. We remain a business that believes in doing things properly, building long-term relationships and providing support that continues long after installation is complete.
Accessibility Specialists You Can Trust
Accessibility is at the heart of everything we do.
We work with homeowners, local authorities, NHS Trusts, education providers, housing associations, architects, consultants, contractors, facilities managers and commercial organisations to create environments that are safe, inclusive and accessible.
Every project is unique, which is why we never believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Our experienced team works collaboratively with clients from the earliest stages of a project, developing practical, compliant and cost-effective solutions that meet the needs of both the building and the people who use it.
Whether the objective is improving independence within a family home, enhancing accessibility in a public building or delivering multiple lift installations across a commercial development, our goal remains the same—to provide reliable solutions that stand the test of time.

Independent Advice. Better Solutions.
Unlike many lift companies, we’re completely independent.
We’re not restricted to one manufacturer or product range, allowing us to recommend the solution that’s genuinely right for your property, application and budget.
By working with some of Europe’s leading lift manufacturers, we can offer a carefully selected portfolio of proven accessibility solutions for virtually every environment.
Our trusted manufacturing partners include:

- TK Elevator (TKE)
- Ascendor
- Motala
- ILS
- Barduva
- Vimec
- GLE
These long-standing partnerships provide access to innovative technology, specialist engineering expertise and premium products, ensuring every recommendation is based on performance, reliability and suitability rather than manufacturer preference.
Experience Before You Invest
Choosing a lift is a significant investment, and we believe every customer should have the opportunity to experience our products before making that decision.
That’s why we’ve invested in a dedicated showroom at our headquarters in Keighley, West Yorkshire.
Our showroom features two fully operational Aritco Home Lifts, with a third installation arriving soon, allowing visitors to experience how a home lift feels in everyday use rather than simply viewing brochures or photographs.
Customers can compare models, travel between floors, explore finishes, colours and design options, and gain a genuine understanding of how a lift can integrate seamlessly into their home or development.
Whether you’re a homeowner, occupational therapist, architect, developer or specifier, our showroom provides the confidence to make informed decisions before investing.
Supporting the Wider Lift Industry
In addition to our installation and maintenance services, A1 Access Lifts has developed a rapidly growing Lift Parts Division, supplying high-quality spare parts and components to lift companies, maintenance providers and engineers throughout the United Kingdom.
Through strong relationships with leading manufacturers and suppliers, we’re able to source genuine, reliable components quickly, helping minimise downtime for our customers while supporting the wider lift industry.
Quality, Safety & Continuous Improvement
Everything we do is underpinned by quality, safety and continual improvement.
We invest in our people, systems and partnerships to ensure every project is delivered professionally, safely and efficiently while meeting all applicable legal, regulatory and industry requirements.
Our team continually develops its knowledge through manufacturer training, technical development and professional learning, ensuring customers benefit from the latest products, technologies and industry best practice.
We’re proud to demonstrate our commitment through recognised industry accreditations, including:
- Constructionline Gold
- CHAS

- Once For All
These independent accreditations provide additional confidence that you’re working with a competent, compliant and trusted accessibility specialist.
