Renting a stairlift can be a practical and flexible option, whether short term or long term.
You can read more about our stairlift rental options if you are considering this route.
We take care of installation and ongoing support. When the stairlift is no longer needed, removal is included, so there is nothing for you to worry about.
If you are not sure what the right option is, just give us a call. We will explain everything clearly, answer your questions, and help you work out what suits your home best.
You can also arrange a free home survey. One of our surveyors will visit, measure your staircase, and give you a clear written quote on the spot. No pressure and no obligation. Just call us on 01249 814528 to arrange.
If your stairlift has stopped working, we can help. We repair most makes and models across Malmesbury and the surrounding area, including Stannah, Acorn, Handicare, Platinum, Access and Otolift, even if we did not install it. Our engineers are trained by the stairlift manufacturers, so they are fully qualified to repair your stairlift.
Our engineers carry the most common parts so many repairs are completed on the first visit. Callout charges start from £145 during office hours. We will always give you a clear cost before carrying out any work. Check out our stairlift repairs page for more information.
British Safety Standards recommend an annual service for every stairlift. Our engineers carry out a thorough 25-point check on every visit, covering all safety features, battery condition, and mechanical components. We service most makes and models across Malmesbury, including stairlifts we did not originally install. Check out our stairlift servicing page for more information.
If a stairlift is no longer needed, we can remove it safely and efficiently.
Most removals are completed within around an hour, leaving everything safe and tidy.
Depending on the model and condition, we may be able to buy the stairlift back, or there may be a charge for removal. Simply give us a call and we’ll be able to advise on your options on 01249 814528.
A stairlift is not a small purchase, it’s a big investment. You are inviting someone into your home, trusting them to install something you or a family member will rely on every day. It matters who you choose.
We are proud of what we have built over the past 20+ years, a company with genuine depth, real experience, and the team and resources to back up everything we promise. Our engineers are manufacturer trained, our customer service team is based in Calne, and our aftercare service means we are with you for the long haul, not just the sale.
