Common questions

Do stairlifts work on curved stairs?

Yes. Curved stairlift options exist for bends, turns, fan steps and landings, but they normally need a more tailored rail.

Is a survey needed?

Usually, yes. A survey checks the staircase, landing space, transfer position and user needs before confirming options.

Can I ask about price before a survey?

You can ask for guidance, but a proper quote should be based on the staircase and the user’s needs.

Can stairlifts be rented?

Sometimes. Rental depends on the staircase, product availability, provider terms and whether rental is suitable.

Are reconditioned stairlifts available?

They may be, where suitable and available. Ask during the quote process if budget is important.

Will it fit a narrow staircase?

Possibly, but it needs checking. Stair width, user transfer and other people using the stairs all matter.

Is this no-obligation?

The enquiry route is intended to be no-obligation. Confirm exact terms with the provider before agreeing any work.
