Quick Installation
How Quick can a Straight Stairlift be installed.
Quick Installation – Often Next Day
Unlike curved models that need to be custom-manufactured, straight stairlifts use a standard rail system that’s adapted to your specific stair length. This means we can often install within 2-7 working days, with next-day installation available on many models if we have stock. The actual fitting takes just 2-4 hours from start to finish.
Space-Saving Design
Modern straight stairlifts fold away neatly when not in use. The seat, armrests, and footrest all tuck in against the wall, leaving plenty of width for other family members to use the stairs normally. You’d be surprised how compact they are.
Quiet & Smooth
Today’s stairlifts run whisper-quiet. You won’t disturb anyone in adjoining rooms, and the ride is smooth and gentle thanks to soft-start and soft-stop technology. No jerking or sudden movements.
Reliable Obstruction Sensors
If anything’s on the stairs – a toy, a pet, even someone’s foot – the sensors detect it immediately and stop the stairlift before contact. It’s a crucial safety feature that gives real peace of mind.
Secure Seatbelt
Every journey should be made with the seatbelt fastened. It’s a simple retractable design that’s easy to clip in and out.
Swivel Seat at Top Landing
Getting off safely at the top of your stairs is vital. The powered swivel seat turns you away from the stairs, so you can step off onto the landing rather than towards the staircase edge.
Battery Backup System
Stairlifts run on rechargeable batteries that automatically top up when parked. This means your lift keeps working even during a power cut – you’re never stranded.
Emergency Stop Button
Within easy reach at all times. Press it and the stairlift stops immediately.
Ergonomic Seating
The seat’s designed for comfort during the journey and easy exit at both ends. Padded upholstery in a choice of colours to suit your home.
Simple Controls
Usually just a toggle switch or buttons on the armrest. Push and hold to move – release to stop. Anyone can operate it, even with limited dexterity.
Adjustable Armrests & Footrest
Set to the height and position that works best for you.
Weight Capacity
Standard models support up to 21 stone (136kg), with heavy-duty options available if needed.
Handover
We don’t leave until you’re confident using your new stairlift. Any questions, no matter how small, just ask.
