Following a home assessment, Handicare surveyors will recommend the most suitable stairlift for your needs. Many of our lifts include ergonomic seating, customisable features, and tailored rail options to ensure comfort, safety, and a perfect fit for your home.

When the engineers from Handicare visit your home, they will be able to offer expert advice on which stairlift seat is suitable for you. You can purchase seats in different colours, so you can pick one that fits in with the décor of your home. Many models also have foldaway seats, so that when you are not using a stairlift, they are not taking up much space or affecting other people walking up and down the stairs. With a perch stairlift, there is a perch seat, and these models allow passengers to remain in an almost upright position, which is perfect for people who struggle to get from a seated position to a standing one.

Stairlifts are fitted directly to the staircase rather than the wall. A rail is securely attached to the stair treads using brackets, so no major structural work is needed. Most straight stairlifts can be installed within a few hours by a qualified engineer, with minimal disruption to your home. Once fitted, the engineer will test the lift thoroughly and show you how to use it safely. Read more about the stairlift installation process and FAQs.
