My grandmother has been using her stairlift every single day for six months. It has genuinely given her life back — she is back on the upper floor, in her own room, living in the home she has loved for forty years. The installation team were respectful, thorough, and left absolutely everything spotless.”

They were the only company who took the time to understand specifically how my wife’s MS affects her movement and recommended features accordingly — the wider seat, extended footrest, the right remote configuration. That attention to detail made all the difference.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Stair Lift Chairs
A standard straight stairlift installation typically takes between two and four hours from start to finish — including testing, safety checks, and a full user training walkthrough. Curved stairlift installations may take a little longer depending on rail complexity. Our technicians work efficiently and maintain a clean workspace throughout, leaving your home exactly as they found it.
No. Our stairlift rails are secured to the staircase treads, not the walls. Your walls remain completely undamaged and untouched throughout the installation. The brackets leave only small screw holes in the treads that can be filled and refinished if the stairlift is ever removed — leaving virtually no trace.
Our battery-powered models continue to operate completely normally during load shedding and any power interruption. The batteries charge automatically whenever the stairlift is parked at a charging point — so your mobility is never affected by power outages.
Absolutely. Curved stairlifts require a custom-manufactured rail built to the precise geometry of your specific staircase, including all bends and intermediate landings. During our free home assessment we take precise measurements for rail manufacturing. If you have been told elsewhere that your staircase is too complex, please reach out to us for a second opinion.
Our standard range accommodates users up to approximately 120–160 kg depending on the model. For users requiring a higher weight capacity, we carry heavy-duty and bariatric models supporting up to 225 kg in certain configurations — without compromising on safety margins or ride quality.
Every stairlift system we supply includes a manufacturer warranty covering mechanical and electrical components. Our installation workmanship is guaranteed separately. We always explain your full warranty coverage in detail before you commit to a purchase.
That is exactly what our free home assessment is for. Choosing the right stairlift depends on your staircase shape and dimensions, the physical needs of the primary user, available rail width, power supply location, and your feature preferences. Our specialist assesses all of these during the home visit and provides a clear, tailored recommendation — with no obligation to proceed.
Yes, stairlifts can be fully uninstalled. Because the rail is secured to the staircase treads, removal leaves only small screw holes that can easily be filled and refinished. Some customers install stairlifts temporarily during post-surgical recovery and remove them once fully rehabilitated. The installation is completely reversible.
Yes. Our servicing team works on most major stairlift brands and models, regardless of who installed them originally. If you have a stairlift requiring a service, repair, or safety inspection — whether installed by us or another provider — please get in touch and we will assess whether we can assist.
The cost varies depending on the type of unit (straight, curved, or outdoor), the specific model and features, installation complexity, and your location. Our pricing is fully transparent — your quotation will be a detailed breakdown of every cost with no vague estimates or surprise charges.
