After your stairlift is installed our engineers will provide you with a demonstration to show you how to use it. We’ll also tidy up after ourselves and take away any waste packaging.

Curved stairlifts are typically slightly more expensive than straight stairlifts as they need a handmade curved track. The extra cost is down to the extra materials, time, and expertise that goes into creating a bespoke track.

Yes. The Trio Lift is ideal for users with mobility issues as it gives them the freedom and independence to move around the home unhindered. The Trio is wider and deeper than the Duo Lift and can accommodate a standard-sized wheelchair. It is an ideal alternative to a stairlift and perfect for users with a walking frame.

The Lift uses a steel roped drum-braked gear motor drive system which means it is compact and neatly self-contained within the roof space of the lift car itself. Unlike other lifts, all of the mechanics are in one place, hidden from view. The domestic lift plugs straight into a standard 13amp wall socket.

The Through The Floor Lift includes two small remote controls so you can call it at any time, from either floor at your convenience.

In the event of a power cut the Through The Floor Lifts are equipped with a battery back-up facility. This is included as standard with the lift and will allow anyone in the lift at the time of power failure to gently descend to the lower level of the home, exit the lift, and wait until the power comes back on. We do also offer the option of an uninterrupted power supply.

This system can be installed at an extra cost but it’ll allow for numerous trips both up and down while the main power to the lift is out.

The Through The Floor Lift does not require noisy hydraulics or any extra external mechanisms and thanks to its unique drive system, the lift is very quiet and makes less noise than most stairlifts.

The lifts are simple to remove and you can take it with you if you decide to business premises. It is very straightforward to reverse the aperture opening and seal it and your building will look as if the lift was never there.

You may, however, decide to keep the lift in position as a lift can add value to your property and is an attractive and compliant asset.
