Nine Stannah Xtralift passenger lifts were installed to the redevelopment of St John’s Hill, a 1930s Peabody estate in SW11.

Five Xtralifts and two sets of Xtralift duplexes were chosen to service the 153 apartments which range over five and seven floors, in two distinct blocks.

To match the heavy duty demand of this environment, the nine 8-person lifts are fitted with higher-grade stainless steel lift cars and Dewhurst push-button controls. Eight are traction, without motor rooms, and one is hydraulic, with a motor room. All the lifts have been installed with a range of options, with a mix of vandal-resistant categories 1 and 2. Two models are equipped as firefighter lifts.

The total redevelopment will provide 538 new homes (up from the existing 353) in a mix of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom apartments. 279 homes will be affordable (social rent and intermediate housing) and 249 for private sale.

The scheme also includes 13,200 square metres of open space, a new public route from Clapham Junction station to Wandsworth Common, bespoke sculptures by artist, Rodney Harris, commercial space and new community centre.
