Answers to frequently asked questions about stairlift installation
A stairlift is a motorized chair attached to a rail mounted on the staircase. It allows individuals with limited mobility to ascend or descend stairs safely and comfortably. The user sits on the chair, secures the safety belt, and uses a control on the armrest or a remote to operate the lift.
The price for installing a stairlift depends on the height to be saved, the sections to be saved and the space available. Stairlifts range from £5,000 for the simplest ones to £18,000 if they incorporate curved sections and unevenness.
Stairlifts can be installed on most types of staircases, including straight, curved, or spiral. Custom rails can be made to fit the specific dimensions and shape of the staircase.
The installation time can vary depending on the complexity of the staircase and the stairlift model. Straight stairlifts can typically be installed within a few hours, while custom curved stairlifts may take longer.
No, installing a stairlift usually does not cause damage to your home. The rail is mounted on the steps or to the wall, and installers take care to ensure the process is as non-intrusive as possible.

Financial assistance options vary by location. Some insurance plans, government programs, and nonprofit organizations may offer funding or grants to help cover the cost of a stairlift.
