Common stairlift questions
Do stairlifts work on curved stairs?
Yes. Stairlift options are available for both straight and curved staircases. Curved staircases normally need a more tailored rail.
Is a home survey needed?
Usually, yes. The provider needs to understand the staircase layout, space, user needs and any obstructions before confirming suitable options.
Can a stairlift help avoid moving home?
In many cases, yes. A stairlift can help someone continue using upstairs rooms and remain safely at home for longer.
How quickly can a stairlift be installed?
Straight stairlifts can sometimes be installed quickly where suitable. Curved or bespoke rail systems can take longer.
Can I ask about reconditioned or rental options?
Yes. Mention this in the enquiry so the right options can be discussed if available and appropriate.
Will a stairlift fit a narrow staircase?
Sometimes, but it needs checking. Stair width, transfer space, rail position and the needs of other people using the stairs all matter.
