Different Types of Stairlift

Stairlifts are designed to be simple to use with a toggle switch or button that requires constant pressure from the user. They are installed directly onto your staircase, through your stair carpet. The stairlift is normally plugged into a nearby 13 amp socket.

For narrow stairs, it is possible to upgrade a standard stairlift seat to a perch or perching seat. This allows the user to almost stand and is ideal if they have difficulty with bending their knees or those narrow staircases.

Some stairlift manufacturers can provide outdoor stairlifts that have been IP-rated. Normally they are supplied with no powered options but would include a weatherproof cover for the chair and motor part of your stairlift.

A recent legislation for newly manufactured stairlifts now requires the seatbelt to be engaged before the stairlift will operate. It is recommended that new stairlifts have a communication device available should the user need to contact someone in an emergency.

Reconditioned or second-hand stairlifts for sale on auction websites currently do not require the seatbelt to be engaged before the stairlift will operate.

Information on Straight Stairlifts

Information on Curved Stairlifts

Straight Stairlifts, Curved Stairlifts or Homelifts? Which is the right choice of stairlift installation for your home?

Buying a stairlift can be a simple solution for many people who find the stairs in their home challenging because of poor mobility. Stairlifts, also referred to as 'chairlifts,' are available from numerous stairlift suppliers, but only a few manufacturers.

Stairlifts for straight stairs can be installed quickly after ordering. Compared to a stairlift needed for curved stairs are typically custom-made after a technical survey has been completed and the fabrication of a bespoke track. This custom installation allows the track to be placed closer to the wall. Home lifts tend to be significantly more expensive than the installation of a stair lift.

Our Opinion on Reconditioned Stairlifts or Used Stairlifts

Choosing a reconditioned stairlift or second-hand stair lifts for your home can be a practical and cost-effective solution when purchasing a new stairlift isn't feasible. Reconditioned stairlifts, often refurbished, provide a reliable alternative at a lower cost. These second-hand stairlifts typically come with at least a 12-month warranty, ensuring peace of mind. Available for both straight and curved stairs, reconditioned stairlifts offer flexibility and affordability. If finances are limited, ask your stairlift supplier about available reconditioned stairlift options that best suit your needs.

The service I have received from your stairlift company has been excellent. Your representative was most helpful in helping me to choose the lift most suitable for my needs, he explained all the stairlift features. There was no pressure for me to make any decision at the time he called to see me. I was treated with the utmost respect and dignity. Someone I would definitely deal with again. The surveyor was also very kind and diligent in making sure all measurements were perfect. Your installation engineer was most polite, and it was a pleasure to have him working in my home. I would certainly recommend the company to other prospective customers. Many thanks and best wishes to you all.

Could Stairlift Hire be the Perfect Choice For You?

If you need a stairlift but are not sure if it's the right long-term solution for you, a stairlift hire could be the perfect choice to consider. Renting a stairlift can give you the flexibility you need without the commitment of purchasing. By working with reputable stairlift manufacturers like Stannah Stairlifts, you can ensure that you are getting a high-quality product that meets your specific needs.

What is the Cost of Buying a Stairlift and is There Funding?

When considering purchasing a stairlift, one of the primary concerns for many is the cost involved. The cost of buying a new stairlift can vary depending on the make and model, as well as any additional features or customisation options. On the other hand, opting for a second-hand stairlift may offer a more budget-friendly alternative, although it's important to thoroughly inspect the unit and ensure it meets your requirements and safety standards.

Additionally, individuals looking for financial assistance may be eligible for the Disabled Facilities Grant, which can help cover the costs associated with installing a stairlift in their home. It's worth exploring all options and considering the long-term benefits a stairlift can provide for improved accessibility and independence.
