We are an independent home lift comparison site, not a manufacturer, so we can publish cross-brand data and honest analysis that the makers cannot. Our research is free to read, quote and link to. Journalists and researchers are welcome to use it with attribution.

Why we publish this
Most home lift information online comes from the companies selling the lifts, so it can only ever tell one side of the story. As an independent comparison site, we gather data across every major UK brand and set it alongside official figures on care costs and the ageing population. The aim is simple: honest, referenceable numbers that help buyers, families, journalists and researchers understand the market as it is.
If you want to act on the findings, our practical tools sit alongside the research: the independent home lift finder, the cost calculator, and the grants checker.
