If you have curved stairs, then we have the right curved stair lift for you!

It doesn’t matter if your stairs have flat or intermediate landings, fan-shaped turns, 90 or 180 degree curved staircases, or narrow stairs. We can even fit a curved rail to your staircase to accommodate multiple floors, like those you find in town houses or apartment buildings. They also have a stop-off point on the intermediate landings on all floors. We can also even fit spiral staircases, like the one we have in our showroom with specially made bends.

Your curved stairlift rail will be custom-made to your stairs, so we will make sure it fits perfectly no matter how many curves or what configuration your stairs may have.

We’ve also been able to fit curved stairlifts where many other companies can’t, so don’t give up hope if you’ve been told that a curved stairlift won’t fit – we’re sure to have a solution.

The rail system fits to the stairs, not the wall so there is no damage to your home décor and there are no structural changes required to have one fitted to your staircase.

Having a straight stairlift can make accessibility in your home affordable because they are significantly less expensive than a curved rail stairlift. However, it is only possible to install straight rail stairlift solutions on a small percentage of curve stairs if they are in the main a straight staircase.

For example: If you have a main straight flight and then a quarter landing then one step up onto the landing we can fit a straight rail model to go up your stairs. However, if you can't manage that last step or you are likely to not manage it in the future, then a curved stairlift would be recommended.

It would also be possible to do a small carpentry alteration called a landing infill to bring the stairs level with the landing and we can arrange this for you. This way there would be no one step to negotiate.

You should never attempt to fit a straight rail model on any other curve stairs because it would not be suitable and it could in fact be dangerous, particularly on a fan shaped staircase.

Curved stair lift models all have a rail designed to fit the individual stairs. Our stairlift specialist surveyor will visit your home to assess for a custom-built stairlift quote and tell you the best rail configuration that is possible and discuss your requirements with you. The price quotation and costs will depend on the number of bends and model needed.

• A made-to-measure curved rail that always fits to the stairs and not the wall. Some models come with a double rail system and more modern models with a single tube rail system.

• A rail configuration of all styles of curved staircases including any degree bend, intermediate landings, rail overruns onto landings and hallways, first riser starts, drop nose starts, hinged rail, or a parking bend - there are virtually no limitations on a curved rail configuration!

• A rail system that will run on the internal radius (banister side) or external radius (wall side) of any curved staircases.

Although stairlift models will differ technically and visually, they mostly all have standard features that most suppliers have but here are the key things you need to know! They all have:

• Swivel seats are manually operated by a lever that unlocks and turns the chair at the top of the stairs if you don't have an overrun.

• Upholstered padded seats in a standard or a choice of upholstery colours depending on the model.

• Downward or forward facing seats on specialist models, depending on your needs to fit any stairs including narrow and spiral stairs.

• Joystick controls or control button on the chair arm using constant pressure to drive the lift up and down.

• Remote controls where a second user needs to operate the stairlift for multi-user or carer controls.

• Safety sensors around the footplate and carriage to stop the lift if it meets an obstruction or trapping hazard.

• Secure safety belt to be worn in travel.

• Digital displays on some curved stairlifts that give information on the stairlift's status like fault diagnostics which you'll find covered in the user manual.

• Slimline designs with folding footrests, seat base, and arms to fold the curved stair lift up neatly for others walking up the stairs to easily pass or use a parking bend to park and fold the lift off the staircase.

• Battery operation that works in a power cut with automatic recharging. Read our article the Ultimate Guide to Stairlift Batteries. Low voltage re-charging means the lift has low running costs too.

• ???????????A weight maximum capacity varies by model but is around 18-23 stone, but some suppliers offer increased weight capacity models.

There are many optional extras that you can get on stairlifts to make them easier for you to use or fit into your home environment. These stairlift options can include:

• Power swivel seat automatically turn the chair at the top of the stairs by keeping the joystick pressed making it effortless to turn the chair.

• Powered foot plates where if you need to fold the straight stair lift up and cannot reach down to the floor to fold in the footplate by hand. The powered footplate can be folded in effortlessly at the touch of a button.

• Powered hinged rail where there is an open hallway or doorway at the bottom of the stairs and a straight solid rail will inhibit use. The lower section of the track will fold up allowing access to the door or hall or better still why not use a parking bend instead!

• In-built Communication system for complete peace of mind incase you need emergency assistance.

Our Technical Engineering Director (with 35+ years industry experience), has carefully selected every curved stairlift that we sell to make sure they provide the very best for our customers and can fit on every curved staircase no matter what configuration.

As independent stair lift experts, we choose our innovative stairlifts based on engineer and customer feedback, quality and reliability reports in addition to user friendliness.

We are an independent stairlift company and a dealer of many manufacturers, so we offer a choice of a new stairlift, reconditioned or rental, whichever is the most convenient option for you. We believe a stairlift needs to be as individual as both you and your staircase, and not a “one size fits all”.

Everyone’s needs are different and everyone’s individual staircase is different, so in our range, we have the ideal solution to fit you and your home, tailor-made to meet what the user requires. To find out which curved stairlift would be best, our friendly team will be happy to discuss and explain the options with you and we offer a free quote too.

A curved staircase needs a curved rail specifically designed for your stair case by the manufacturer. Therefore, curved stairlift models are significantly more expensive and are often double the stair lift price of a straight model.

Curved stairlift prices can vary depending on how many bends are needed to take the system around the corners of your stairs and how far your rail system has to travel: If you wanted the lift to go up multiple staircases, for example in a townhouse, extra rail would need to be made. If you have spiral stairs, non-standard bends will need to be made for your stairs as a bespoke solution.

You can therefore expect an average price to be from approximately ??????????? £4,000+ for new curved stairlifts, from £XXXXXXXXXX for reconditioned stairlifts and rentals from XXXXX with a monthly fee of £75.

We can only give you accurate stairlift prices if you request a no-obligation free stairlift quote.

We will only recommend features that we think you will need on a curved lift, so you can use your stairlift safely. A power point is needed nearby to power the stairlift; If you don’t have one, we can organise this for you in addition to the stair lift cost.

If you have a disabling health condition, you should qualify for VAT exemption, therefore VAT will not be included in our curved stair lift prices. Our Surveyor will ask you some questions to assess and advise if you will qualify.

There is a local council disabled facilities grant available that will pay for a curved chair lift. However, these grants are means-tested, so you will need to disclose your financial information and also be asked for proof of income/savings so be prepared to disclose your financial information to the council.

There may also be a waiting list too so please check with them about how long it will take.

However, many people decide to pay privately for curved stairlifts to quicken the process. For a lower price, we provide many stairlift cost solutions, you can explore our second-hand curved stairlift options through our reconditioned stairlifts range, where you'll find a lower average price.

We do also rent curved stairlifts too, that are still tailor-made to your individual staircase.
