FAQs
What can I expect to pay?
Curved stairlift prices will vary, depending on your preferred configuration. Our specialists will be happy to discuss your options.
How quickly can my curved stairlift be installed?
Reconditioned or rental modular stairlifts can be installed very quickly, often next day or within two to three days. Our range of bespoke made-to-measure lifts for curved staircases take a little more time to arrange due to the manufacturing process, although they can usually be installed in your home within two to three weeks.
How long does it take to install a curved stairlift?
Generally, it takes about three to four hours to install a stairlift that is curved; sometimes a little longer if the stairs are very complicated or you wish to travel over more than two floors.
They can all be installed in less than a day.
What if my stairlift meets an obstruction?
To avoid clashes, crushes and accidents; all our curved stairlift carriages and footplates have perimeter safety edges which detect obstructions and stop the lift from moving. There are additional safety micro-switches in seat arms and seat swivels, and many other general safety circuits and mechanisms to assure a smooth and safe ride.
What if there is a door at the top or at the foot of my curved staircase?
When travelling to the top of your stairs, our stairlifts can usually be engineered so that the rail finishes in line with the top step - a 'flush finish'. Upon reaching the upper floor, you can then turn the seat onto the transfer area and safely exit the stairlift, fold everything away and park it neatly to keep the stairs free for pedestrians. If there is a doorway downstairs, we have access to specially engineered shorter rail starts, where feasible, and clever hinged rails that will automatically fold away to keep your doorways and walkways free from obstruction.
What if I only have a cavity or stud wall next to my stairs - will it be strong enough?
It is a common misconception that stairlifts are fixed to the wall in your home: they are simply fixed to the treads of your staircase. Non-invasive, if your stairs are carpeted, there will be no evidence of existence after removal - there is no drilling, dust or mess.
What can I do if my staircase is narrow?
You might be surprised how little space a lift requires - remember that when not in use, all our lifts have folding arms, seats and footplates. For some more difficult or complicated staircases, we have products that can be programmed to cleverly rotate to avoid those narrow clash points.

Testimonial
We are in our late 70s and remember the kind of service we used to get many years ago. we were very happy to be able to say that the complete service we received has been excellent and reminded us of the good service we got years ago. The instalation was painless and the instruction given by the engineer was excellent. The whole process has been a wonderful experience dealing with very nice people.
