If your stairlift has stopped working, we can help. We repair most makes and models across Hungerford and the surrounding area, including Stannah, Acorn, Handicare, Platinum, Access and Otolift, even if we did not install it.
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.
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 Hungerford, including stairlifts we did not originally install.
Renting a stairlift can be a practical and flexible option, whether short term or long term.

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.
