The family-run lift company, trusted for over 15 years

Our story

Direct Lift Solutions is an independent, family-run lift specialist based at the Innovation Centre in Redcar. We supply, install and maintain the full range of lifts — from discreet home lifts and stairlifts to platform, passenger and goods lifts for commercial buildings — across the North East and beyond.

What sets us apart is that we're not tied to a single manufacturer. As official Aritco stockists, and installers of TKE, Vimec, Barduva and Innovation Lift, we can recommend the lift that genuinely suits your home, your building and your budget — then fit it properly and look after it for the long term. Homeowners planning ahead, families adapting a much-loved home, and building owners meeting their accessibility duties all get the same honest advice and tidy, professional work.

Customers have been trusting us with their homes and commercial properties for over 15 years. We source only the highest-quality products — all with factory accreditations and guarantees — and with SafeContractor certification and 60 years of collective industry experience across the team, we've built a reputation we're genuinely proud of.

Meet Richard

Key to the business is our Managing Director, Richard Jackson. Richard goes above and beyond to help customers achieve the best solution, and the technical knowledge he brings — along with that of his team — is what sets DLS apart. His superpower is thinking outside the box, which is why the trickiest jobs always seem to find their way to us. And the results? Outstanding.

We're equally proud that our dedicated, highly experienced team are all local people — chosen not just for their engineering skills, but because as a company we're rooted in our local communities, and we support them right back.
