Oyster Mayfair – Helping you face the future with confidence
On this website page you will find ideas and products which can help a property be adapted, renovated and future proofed to improve access and make daily life easier for the elderly or disabled.
We will illustrate various options for improving access within different types of properties including semi-detached, terraced or detached houses that could be altered or extended in order to provide extra individual living space, such as a granny flat/ annex for a relative to live in as a possible alternative to moving into a care home (subject to the health/ medical needs of the individual).
Other matters including providing disabled access over steps for wheelchair users from front gardens and driveways into a property as well as options for improving access to back gardens, patios, terraces and split level rooms within apartments and houses will also be explored.
We hope these ideas will give the general public an overview of some of the modern options that are available as well as highlighting a range of technical solutions for those involved in property refurbishments and alterations such as builders, architects, contractors and loft conversion companies.
SECTION 1 – Lifts and Step Lifts
A lift can make coping with daily life easier and safer for people who struggle with stairs, including the elderly and wheelchair users.
We help you through the entire process of selecting a lift suitable for space available in your property. We will show you what type of lifts might be suitable for your present needs and also consider what your future requirements might be, in other words, we think ahead helping you future proof your home.

Small Lifts for Domestic Residential Use including Loft Conversions
Our small and medium sized lifts are capable of travelling up to 5 floor levels.These lifts can be large enough to accommodate a wheelchair or where space is limited we have lifts as small as a single shower cubicle for just one passenger.
Lifts can be installed either inside a property (space permitting) or in certain cases externally on the side or rear wall of a property.
Our larger lifts have load capacities for several people, wheelchairs or even heavy mobility scooters.

Ideal for retaining the kerbside appeal of a property and also for providing a low-rise solution where there is insufficient space for a ramp.
Through Floor Home Lifts
 | The Slimline Homelift is an alternative to a stair lift keeping your stairs, landing and hall uncluttered and obstruction free. This stylish compact home lift is capable of traveling between 2 floor levels (e.g. ground floor to first floor). This through floor lift is a self-contained unit requiring no additional walls to be built so it can be installed in just a few days with a minimal amount of building work. |  |
Lifts for Modern and Period Town Houses
Many modern town houses and older period properties have more than 2 floor levels and installing a lift in these types of properties can improve the living arrangements for a family by making it far easier to get groceries, household items, buggies, prams, crates of wine, home office equipment, furniture and supplies in and out of the house. The addition of a lift may also future proof the property for the owners old age and also provide access for elderly or disabled visitors, relatives and house guests who might not be able to cope with lots (or any) stairs.

Stretcher Home Bed Lifts
In certain circumstances in private properties there might be the requirement for the provision of a lift that is long enough to accommodate a stretcher bed or perhaps a fully reclining wheelchair with a headrest and ancillary medical equipment/ machinery.
Hospitals and many care homes may have very large stretcher bed lifts (as illustrated) however depending on the available space within a property Oyster Mayfair can provide custom made size lifts with, for example, a floor size of approximately 213 x 121cms (7 x 4 feet) being large enough for a stretcher bed.
Attention to the choice of materials used for the interior finish for the lift car walls and floor is important as these surfaces will need to be easy to keep clean/ washable. Click here to find out more about these lifts
