Professional service

I had the pleasure of the company of Lee at 24 Oxley Road, Preston last week. He is an exceptional ambassador for your company and an example for anyone in a customer facing role.
Lee is a consummate professional, inspiring confidence in his knowledge and comfort knowing he has done the job. Lee is a lovely bloke.

Lift repair

With using a wheelchair, a broken lift has a huge impact on my life. I was super happy that the engineer turned up so quickly and was able to repair my through floor lift, allowing me to be independent again.

I can recommend Wessex lifts for anyone…

I can recommend Wessex lifts for anyone considering putting in a lift (through floor lift in my case), knew exactly what was required, where best to site and sorted everything out inc building control, the fitters were great, very tidy and no mess and the building company they use for the building work were also brilliant (bathroom mobility Manchester who did the work on the bedroom and accessible bathroom)

Thank you so much for your fantastic recommendation. We’re delighted to hear that you’re pleased with your through-floor lift and that the whole process — from advising on the best location to handling building control — felt smooth and well managed.

It’s especially great to know that the fitters left everything tidy and caused minimal disruption. We pride ourselves on delivering a professional service from start to finish, so your feedback really means a lot to the whole team.

Home stairlift installation

Had a curved stairlift fitted for my parents. Company could not have been more helpful making the process easy to follow from the surveyor who initially attended to the fitters on the day of installation. Very attentive and helpful staff who dealt with elderly couple. The lift was installed within a day and clear instructions on how to use the lift shown on site and also written instructions were left.
Parents were delighted with the lift and its installation. Also great after care service plan giving peace of mind. The company were happy to speak to my parents when they forgot certain operating procedures. However, it's been a quality product so the product has not had any operating issues. needed.

🚫 Extremely Disappointed After Years of Planning

We’ve worked in the accessibility industry for years, and I can honestly say this has been one of the most frustrating vendor experiences we’ve encountered.

After years of planning and working toward a solution for a client using the Wessex lift, the company abruptly informed us—after months of silence—that they will no longer serve the North American market and will not fulfill our order. No advance notice. No transparency. No support.

Our client paid a deposit, we prepped the installation space, and Wessex had every opportunity to communicate this change—but failed to do so. Their lack of professionalism has created major delays, unnecessary costs, and left us scrambling to find a replacement at the last minute.

If you’re in the U.S. and looking for dependable partners in accessibility equipment, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Reliability and communication matter in this industry, and unfortunately, Wessex has proven they can’t be trusted with either.

Poor quality, and non-existent support from Wessex

Originally purchased the lift in late 2021. It stopped working after 6 months. Support from Wessex was completely useless. The local dealer was finally able to diagnose the problem. Since then the lift has randomly failed 3 times, and then a week or two after each failure, just started working again. Now the door solenoid doesn’t work, and to no surprise, Wessex support is useless.

The through floor lift installation…

The through floor lift installation work and positive customer care approach could not have been better. It was on time and smooth. Special mention must go to Dave and the team at Empire builders. Their knowledge, hard work and general tidiness is unusual nowadays.

If after care is to this standard they will deserve another 5 star review.
