Lifts for Hawthorn homes
-
Victorian and Edwardian homes
Period homes with high ceilings and original features worth protecting.
-
Heritage overlays
External changes are tightly controlled, so an internal lift is often the easier path.
-
Townhouses and apartments
Newer multi-level homes closer to the shopping strips and transport.
An internal lift usually doesn't touch the streetscape at all, which is why it's often an easier approval than a rear addition. We plan the position around your floor structure and the rooms you want to keep.

“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.”

“We used Liftease for the first time to service our home elevator. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Really easy to organise and the technician arrived on time was polite, knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions.”

FAQs
Home lifts in Hawthorn: questions
Do you install home lifts in Hawthorn?
Yes. We supply, install and service home elevators in Hawthorn and across Melbourne. Our Keilor East showroom is about 25 km by road, around 30 minutes in light traffic.
Do I need a permit for a home lift in Hawthorn?
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 Boroondara) 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.
