This is one of the most common questions we’re asked. All stair lifts are actually fitted to the steps, not the wall, which means that there is no damage to your walls or decoration. The stairlift brackets, or legs, are screwed into the treads of the steps, so chair lifts can even be installed on staircases in homes with plasterboard and non-supporting walls

Today’s stairlifts are incredibly versatile, so they can fit on the majority of staircases – even spiral ones! There are many makes of stairlift, with different models and options which enable a stairlift to be fitted almost anywhere. We provide a wide range stairlifts to choose from, to suit different types of stairs so we can accommodate most stairs.  With our wealth of expertise, we can also often fit a stairlift where other companies can’t.  We can visit you in-home and assess your stairs free of charge with no-obligation so why not contact us today.

Yes!  All stairlift companies should measure your stairs, measure you and take your particular environment into consideration.  A full and proper assessment must be done to make sure that your stairlift fits your staircase, meets your needs and is safe for you to use. This assessment is no-obligation and free of charge, and should take no longer than an hour, depending on the staircase

Stairlifts today are very slimline. When folded they usually take up around 300mm depending on the model. This leaves plenty of space for people not using the chair lift to walk up the stairs as normal

Depending on the stairlift model you choose, delivery times can vary from around next day to two weeks for straight stairlift, and from one to six weeks for curved stairlift as the rail will be manufactured bespoke to your staircase turns and dimensions

Having a stair lift installed is a life changing decision and it can be expensive, but compared to the cost of moving home or going into care, it is the most cost effective solution to remaining in your home and having the freedom to access all areas of your house.
Stairs are the most common place in your home for slips, trips and falls of which most result in lengthy hospital stays and recuperation.
In fact, the only complaint we get from customers after their installation is “Why did we wait this long to have stairlift fitted!”, when they see what an instant difference it makes to their quality of life

Stairlifts are as individual as you are – bespokely made to each individual staircase and each individual customer’s requirements.  Will the internet or newspaper do a full assessment to make sure the lift is fit for purpose for you and come and fix your stairlift if you have a problem?  We’ve had customers who have bought a stairlift and been caught like this and called us in to help them right their mistake.
Stairlifts are very technical pieces of machinery and should only be installed by a recognised company and a qualified and experienced stairlift engineer.  We have seen stairlifts installed by non-qualified persons that are dangerous and compromise your safety and the safety of other people in your home.  Always make sure that you buy a stair lift from a reputable company that has qualified installers

Sometimes it is true in life that you get what you pay for and the cheapest price may not necessarily be the best overall value for money.  When comparing prices always make sure that you receive a written quotation that details the stairlift you’ve chosen, the installation, warranty period, what that warranty includes and the exact price you will pay, to ensure that you can compare on a like-for-like basis.
Remember a price includes the product but more importantly THE SERVICE! Make sure you know what aftercare the company will provide if you should ever have a problem with your stairlift and how local the engineer is to you.  Do they offer an out of hours service if your lift happens to break down?

We sometimes come across stairlifts that have been installed but aren’t appropriate for a customer’s specific needs.  Always make sure that the stairlift company comes to visit your house, measures your stairs and measures you sitting in a chair to check whether a stairlift will fit your staircase.  A reputable stair lift company should also ask you questions about your mobility and how it could change over the next 5 years to make sure your needs will be fully met.  If possible, try a stairlift in a showroom near you to make sure that it will meet your expectations.  Our showrooms are open Monday to Friday between 8:30am and 5:00pm. We have 7 lifts for you to try and our friendly staff are trained to explain all of the lifts’ features. For details of one of our showrooms near you call 08000 19 22 10
