SPACE SAVING
Lifts for Houses External Lifts are a simple solution for existing properties that do not have enough available space inside, as well for those properties that are built on steep inclines where a traditional lift could not be used.

Our External lifts can be designed and made to bespoke specifications to suit the facade of the property with a number of finishes to choose from.
