Rules for Buying a Stairlift

Don’t buy a stairlift without expert advice

Make sure your stairlift is made to fit you too

Buying a stairlift isn’t just about your stairs. It’s about you and your specific needs and how a stairlift is tailored to meet them.

During your home visit, our sales consultant does a user assessment to see which chair and which features would best suit you. This makes your stairlift as comfortable as possible to use.

Choose a company you can trust

Make sure you choose a stairlift manufacturer that is recognized as meeting both national and international standards. Research them online and see what their customers are saying. Make sure the company you choose is accredited by official organizations by checking their Awards and Accreditations page, and don’t be afraid to ask them about standards they adhere to.

Think about how long you’ll need your stairlift for

If you know you will be using your stairlifts for a long period of time, then buying might be the best choice and you can even check your grants and funding options to help you with the costs. However, if you know you’ll only need your stairlift for a short amount of time, it might be worth thinking about renting a stairlift. Check with your local dealer whether this option is available to you, and work out what will work out cheaper for you in the long run – if you rent a stairlift for years it could work out as more expensive than buying one outright, but if you only need it for a matter of months, it could be the solution you’re looking for!
