There are a range of Age UK Trading stairlifts you can choose from to enable you to continue living an independent lifestyle. Depending on the type of staircase your home has, you can buy straight, curved, or reconditioned stairlifts.
All Age UK Trading stairlifts are provided by the experts at Handicare, and when you are considering installing a new stairlift, the stairlift engineers at Handicare will help you to choose a model and will fit it for you, ensuring it fits in with the décor and style of your home.
Straight stairlifts are our most popular stairlifts in the Midlands, and the rails have no curves, corners, or bends and can easily navigate narrow staircases due to their slim nature.
These types of stairlifts are slim, meaning they can travel up narrow staircases more easily. The models we have in our range are all fitted with continuous charge and safety sensors as standard.
If you’re unsure, our friendly team is here to advise you on the most suitable stairlift for your home, including the various features available with each model in our range.
We have a range of straight stairlift models to choose from.
The stairlifts all have features such as safety sensors that automatically stop the stairlift in the case of an emergency or if there is an obstruction on the rail. They also include internal batteries to ensure the stairlift continues to work during a power cut. Each model includes two handheld remote controls, making them ideal for households with multiple users.
All our stairlifts offer a perched seat option, making them perfect for users who struggle to go from a seated to standing position.
We have a range of curved stairlifts for homes with spiral or corner staircases. These stairlifts can be modified to suit your home and your specific needs. To ensure the fit of your stairlift is perfect for your staircase, one of the experts from Handicare, who supply our stairlifts, will take measurements at your home to ensure the product you choose is right for you.
We provide a variety of curved stairlifts and, similarly to our straight stairlifts, offer unique perch curved stairlifts. This allows those who find sitting uncomfortable to stand and lean against a supportive, perched seat. Other models in our range include the 4000 curved and the Freecurve curved stairlift, which are ideal for narrow, curved staircases.
Both the 4000 curved and Freecurve curved stairlift include a manual swivel seat and an ergonomically designed toggle switch for ease of use. There are also safety sensors that automatically cut out the stairlift if it encounters an obstruction. These models include power options to ensure continued operation during power cuts (internal batteries for the 4000 and DC power for the Freecurve), and two handheld remote controls, ideal for multiple users.
Buying a new stairlift can be expensive, but one way to reduce the cost is to purchase a reconditioned stairlift. A reconditioned stairlift offers the same levels of safety and quality, and a variety of models can be adapted to suit your needs and your staircase.
They are unique because only the motor is reconditioned—ensuring the essential driving mechanism operates like new. The motor is thoroughly tested and restored to its original performance. The rest of the components, such as the rail and seat, are not reconditioned but are carefully inspected to ensure they meet our high safety and quality standards. This means you can enjoy a reliable stairlift at a lower cost, with the peace of mind that the key component has been professionally restored.
With our Price Match Promise, we will match any like-for-like stairlift quotation provided in writing by any other reputable company within the UK stairlift market.
If you require a stairlift for a short period, we offer stairlift rentals as well. Get in touch with us, and we can make the arrangements.
Regular servicing is essential to keep your stairlift in optimal condition. For new stairlift models, we recommend annual servicing after your warranty ends, while reconditioned units should be serviced every six months. To learn more about our stairlift servicing options, please visit our Servicing Page.
Our experienced engineers ensure that your stairlift is safe and functioning correctly. Each of our stairlifts, including reconditioned models, comes with a two-year warranty, offering you peace of mind from the start.
For added protection beyond the two-year warranty, homeowners can purchase an extended warranty for their curved or straight stairlift. Depending on the level of warranty you choose, this can cover various issues, from accidental damage to electrical breakdowns, ensuring your stairlift continues to perform well for years.
A new stairlift can be used for many years if it is adequately maintained. Here are some key maintenance tips:
