Lifts for Essendon homes
-
Edwardian and interwar homes
Period homes being extended upward, where an internal lift avoids changing the street front.
-
New townhouses
Two and three level townhouses on narrower blocks, where a small footprint is the priority.
-
Heritage areas
Parts of the area sit within heritage overlays, so approvals are worth starting early.
Most Essendon enquiries are retrofits: adding a lift to a home the family already loves. A site visit tells us where the lift can sit with the least disruption, and the showroom is close enough to pop in first.

“Lift Ease installed a home elevator for my parents and the whole experience was fantastic. The communication from start to finish was outstanding. The lift itself is quiet, smooth and has been life changing for mums mobility. Professional punctual and no surprise costs. Highly recommended for anyone considering a residential elevator.”

FAQs
Home lifts in Essendon: questions
Do you install home lifts in Essendon?
Yes. We supply, install and service home elevators in Essendon and across Melbourne. Our Keilor East showroom is about 9 km by road, around 10 minutes in light traffic.
Do I need a permit for a home lift in Essendon?
In Victoria, installing a lift in a home is building work, so you'll generally need a building permit issued by a registered building surveyor before anything starts. Heritage overlays apply in parts of the area: an internal lift usually doesn't touch the streetscape at all, which is why it's often an easier approval than a rear addition, but it's still a conversation to have with your council (City of Moonee Valley) before you commit.
Can you put a lift in an existing house?
Yes, a large percentage of home lifts are retrofitted. Most modern home lifts need only a shallow pit, and the Atlus has a low to no pit option of 50 to 150 mm.
How long does installation take?
Home lifts such as the Vector Pro, Zenith Ultra and Atlus typically take 1–2 weeks to install, Levare lifts about 2 days, the RB150 platform lift within a week, and commercial lifts (Zenith DDA, E1) 2–4 weeks.
Can I see a lift before I buy?
Yes. Visiting our showroom at 61 Slater Parade, Keilor East is the best way to understand the quality behind every Lift Ease elevator. Open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
