Stairlift Servicing

A stairlift is designed to give you years of reliable service. However, it can only do that if it is regularly serviced and safety checked every year to make sure that it’s kept in excellent working order and is safe for you to use.

We offer servicing and service and maintenance contracts to help look after your lift for you. We also offer repairs and an emergency on call service out of office hours for complete peace mind to help you get up and running again in no time. Our friendly team of local engineers supported by our office team are here to look after you and deliver our Which Trusted Trader endorsed 5* customer service, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year.

What is a stairlift service?

  • A stairlift service is an annual (or bi-annual) servicing that one of our fully qualified stairlift engineers should carry out on your reconditioned or new stairlift to ensure that it's in good working order. By having a stairlift servicing, you can benefit from the peace of mind that:

    • Its safe for you to use and have your stairlift working as it should be.

    • Any preventative stairlift maintenance that should arise and could cause a future breakdown has been identified. This could reduce unnecessary repairs and in most cases inconvenience down the line.

    • You're prolonging the lifespan of your stairlift for many years to come.

    A stairlift service will normally take around an hour to do and is a thorough check over of the models including the battery voltage checks. Our friendly, fully qualified engineers will visit your home and carry out a detailed maintenance service and assistance on a wide range of models.

    If stairlift models are not working please note that you will require a stairlift repair not a service as a service can only be done on models that are in good working order. We would need to fix it first and give you a cost to repair it before carrying out any stairlift services.

    If you have purchased your straight stairlift or curved stairlifts from us it will come with a one year warranty (reconditioned) or two (new stairlift). Check your contract with us as regular servicing may be included in your warranty. Extended warranties will have servicing stairlifts included.

Why should you service your stairlift?

Colin Major is fully qualified and a trained professional engineer (for over 35+ years) across all of our lift models, as well as our Managing Director here at 1st Choice Stairlifts. Here are his 6 Top Tips - Why servicing stairlifts is important:

Booking your annual service

When our team book in your stairlift service, you are automatically added to our service schedule for subsequent years, so there's no need to worry about keeping track of your services, we will contact you.

You will receive a phone call or a letter from us inviting you to make an appointment, we can then book in a convenient time for our engineer to do your service.

Contact Us

To enquire about cost and book in your service, please call us on 01249 814528 and one of our friendly team will be happy to help you. Routine servicing is usually done in office hours from 8.30am to 5pm, Monday to Fridays excluding bank holidays. You can also email us on [email protected]m.

We are unable to complete a service on non working stairlift models. If your stairlift is not working, or has developed a fault, it will fall under one of our stairlift repairs rather than a service. For more details about our stairlift repairs, visit our dedicated stairlift repairs page here.

Our aftercare team can take care of all your servicing and maintenance needs across a wide range of stairlift models, so please don't hesitate to give us a call.
