Aritco HomeLift Compact Installed to Unlock a Forever Home

Residential Home Lift Installation | Yorkshire

Project Overview

For many people, purchasing a new home is an exciting milestone. For this homeowner, it also presented a significant accessibility challenge.

Due to limited mobility, they were unable to safely access the first floor of the property after purchasing what they hoped would become their forever home. While they recognised the home's potential, they had never been able to experience the upstairs living space in person.

Determined to create a home that offered complete independence, the homeowner approached A1 Access Lifts to provide an accessibility solution that would occupy the smallest possible footprint while integrating naturally into the existing property.

Following a detailed survey and consultation, we specified and installed an Aritco HomeLift Compact, allowing the homeowner to access every floor of their home safely, comfortably and independently for the very first time.

The Challenge

The property offered everything the homeowner was looking for, but its traditional staircase created a significant barrier to independent living.

Any solution needed to be carefully considered. Space within the home was limited, making it essential to select a lift that provided comfortable everyday use without dominating the property's layout.

Maintaining the open feel of the stairwell was equally important. The homeowner wanted the lift to feel like a natural part of the home, preserving light and openness while creating complete accessibility between floors.

Our Solution

Following a comprehensive home survey, A1 Access Lifts recommended the Aritco HomeLift Compact.

Specifically designed for existing homes where space is at a premium, the HomeLift Compact offered the ideal balance between accessibility, design and efficient use of floor space.

Working closely with the homeowner, we developed a solution that integrated neatly within the existing property while preserving the character and openness of the stairwell.

Our scope of works included:

• Home consultation and technical survey
• Lift design and specification
• Installation of the Aritco HomeLift Compact
• Electrical installation and commissioning
• Testing and safety inspections
• Client handover and operational guidance

The lift's compact footprint and extensive glazing allowed it to blend naturally into the property while maximising natural light throughout the stairwell.

Installation

Our experienced engineers carefully planned every stage of the installation to minimise disruption within the occupied property.

Working respectfully within the homeowner's new home, we completed the installation efficiently while maintaining the highest standards of workmanship and attention to detail.

Following comprehensive testing and commissioning, the lift was handed over ready for immediate use.

The Result

The completed installation transformed the way the homeowner experiences their property.

For the very first time since purchasing the house, they were able to travel upstairs independently and experience every part of the home firsthand.

The Aritco HomeLift Compact now provides smooth, quiet and reliable travel between floors while occupying only a minimal footprint. Its glazed design preserves the openness of the stairwell, ensuring the lift enhances rather than dominates the interior.

More importantly, the installation has given the homeowner complete independence within their forever home, removing a barrier that previously prevented them from enjoying the property to its fullest.
