We are thrilled with our new Stiltz homelift. The lift was installed in a couple of days with minimal disruption. From the first visit to the engineers who did the installation the staff at Multicare have been very professional
Homelifts Fitted to Suit Preston’s Working History and Modern Growth
Preston’s housing tells the story of a cotton town that grew well beyond it. Tight Victorian terraces built for mill and factory workers still line the streets of Deepdale, Fishwick and Ashton-on-Ribble, often with the front door opening straight into the living room rather than a separate hallway. Further out, Fulwood has larger Victorian and Edwardian villas with more generous floor space, while Ribbleton and Ingol carry the semis built during Preston’s postwar expansion. On the edges of the city, newer developments around Cottam and Grimsargh add another layout again.
That range is exactly why we treat every Preston survey on its own terms. Stiltz homelifts are self-supporting, with no shaft or load-bearing wall to remove, which makes them practical even in the tightest mill-era terrace as well as a modern Cottam new-build.
Speak to Multicare about the right Stiltz model for your Preston home.
What a Preston Survey Looks At
In a Deepdale or Fishwick terrace, the front room often doubles as the hallway, so finding a spot for a lift usually means working out how to keep a clear walking route while still using the space efficiently, sometimes a corner of that front room, sometimes a stacked cupboard if one exists. In a larger Fulwood villa, there’s typically more room to work with, and a lift can often go above an existing understairs space or into a box room instead.
For newer homes around Cottam or Grimsargh, the survey is usually more straightforward, since modern floor plans tend to have more flexible space and simpler ceiling structures to work through.
Every installation starts with a free, no-obligation home survey. An advisor will visit your Preston property, assess the layout, and talk through the right Stiltz model and route for your home.

What our customers have said..
We contacted Multicare with special requirements wanting a Stiltz Homelift in Satin Black Multicare got the lift sprayed and nothing was to much hassle. We are very pleased with the Lift and will be a huge help and would highly recommend them to anybody.
Miss Hunt – Gloucestershire
Due to living in an upside down Bungalow with steps down to the road we didn’t think we could have any sort of lift other than an external platform lift. After having Multicare come and take a look we were surprised that we could have a lift down to our garage beneath our landing floor. The lads were fantastic and the works involved (shaft, removing walls and hole in the floor) were carried out with minimum disruption. The lift is a life saver! Thank you Multicare for providing us with something we never thought possible!
Mr Norris – Duo Vista (New)
I really appreciate your advice and Mark and Gareth were great. They were highly skilled in many ways and always left the place tidy. They made a good job of cleaning up – 180 years of dust and soot came down when they cut into the landing ceiling!! Think they appreciated the flow of tea and coffee. Babs is getting used to it. Until she is confident in using up I am using the remote to send her up and down. I have found it useful for taking stuff up and down stairs so all together money well spent!
Mr Driver – Duo Vista (Reconditioned)
We originally had Multicare attend our home to measure up for a stairlift. Whilst the surveyor was measuring our stairs we noticed an advert on TV of a Stiltz lift. We asked the surveyor if Multicare was able to provide a quote for a Duo+ lift also. After careful consideration we decided to opt for the Duo+. Within a week from placing the order Multicare had completed the full installation of our HomeLift and what an improvement to our lives it has been. Thank you so much for your services
Mr Cadman – Duo+ (New)
After my wife was admitted to hospital and we realised that our stairlift would no longer be adequate to help her get upstairs easily, we asked Multicare HomeLifts to assess our home for the suitability of a home lift. After the pleasant survey and help that Gareth gave us we decided to go with Multicare Homelifts as they were one the only companies we found able to install a reconditioned lift to suit our price range. From start to finish the engineers were fantastic, and very accommodating. With little mess and tremendous hard work the complete job was finished in 3 days and I was able to welcome my wife home from hospital. A fantastic service from all.
Mr Benson – Duo Classic (Reconditioned)
We are writing to express our thanks for the excellent work carried out on installation of our Trio+ lift. When you came to help us decide whether a stair lift or an internal lift was needed to assist me in getting upstairs, you were extremely helpful,courteous and professional whilst being friendly. You fully explained how the lift would work and how much room it would take up, the templates being very useful in helping imagine the size of the proposed lift. At no time did we feel pressured into making a decision. The structural work was carried out neatly with minimum mess or dust. Had the manufacturers been able to deliver the lift on time then the install would have been completed in four days. As it was, there was only a few days delay. The “Starship Enterprise” as we have named it is working well and making an improvement to our daily life. A big thank you to you and all your crew
Mrs Howard – Trio+ (New)
Every home should have a Stiltz lift. Having the lift installed has completely changed my dad’s life. Although he has no desire to leave the home he shared with Mum for 50 years, he’s lonely now that Mum has passed away, and needs the company of his family. But he could not manage our stairs, and so could not stay for long periods, and never over night. With the lift our house is totally accessible for him – he can go upstairs and down faster than we can! It’s far safer than the chairlift he has at home, and my two year old granddaughter loves it too. The installation went very smoothly, with Multicare sorting everything, with no fuss and very little mess. We are very satisfied customers

Home Lifts Preston FAQs
Usually, yes. A lot of Preston’s older terraces in areas like Deepdale and Fishwick open straight into the front room, and our surveyor will work out a position that keeps a clear route through the house while making the most of the available space.
Layout has more impact on price than the general area. A straightforward route through a modern Cottam or Grimsargh new-build is usually simpler to fit than a tighter Victorian terrace needing more careful planning. Your free survey confirms a personalised quote.
Most Stiltz installations are completed in a single day. Older terraced properties with more complex layouts can occasionally take a little longer, and your surveyor will confirm timings upfront.
Yes, the Trio+ is built specifically for full-sized wheelchair users and comfortably takes up to three people.
Every Stiltz lift has a built-in battery backup, so it continues to operate safely even if the power goes out.
