Stairlifts in Hampshire – Installation, Repairs, Servicing and Removals

If getting up and down the stairs is becoming more difficult at home in Hampshire, you are not alone. It is something we speak to people about every day, whether it is for themselves, a parent, or someone they care for.

At 1st Choice Stairlifts, we cover Hampshire from two directions. Our head office is in Calne, Wiltshire, covering the north of the county including Andover, Basingstoke, and Winchester. Our Ferndown, Dorset office covers the south and coast including Southampton, Portsmouth, Fareham, Eastleigh, and the New Forest. That means wherever you are in Hampshire, there is a local team not far away, and we have engineers based in your area too.

As an independent dealer, we are not tied to any single manufacturer. We recommend from a range of trusted brands to find the right solution for your home, whether your staircase is straight, curved, narrow, or something a bit more unusual.
