FAQs about stairlift costs

Due to the bespoke nature of installing the necessary equipment, the cost of new stairlifts in the UK can vary widely, depending on the amount and complexity of the work required.

Factors include whether you have straight or curved staircases, whether you have existing fixtures and fittings that need to be removed and whether you will require custom stairlift features. By booking a free home visit, the surveyor will be able to provide a clear idea of the price of stairlifts, including installation, based on your personal needs.

Although Age UK Trading and Handicare don’t offer payment plans, help is available for those who meet certain eligibility criteria when it comes to financing a stairlift. Explore our guides on financing a stairlift and renting a stairlift for alternative options to consider. The advice on these pages will help you determine whether you are eligible for a Disabled Facilities Grant, a free stairlift, or a grant from your local council.

We can offer stairlifts with reconditioned motors, which may bring the overall price of the stairlift down. Determining an estimated price for a stairlift with a reconditioned motor can be challenging without a visit from an advisor. This is because the team is unable to know if any alterations will need to be made for the stairlift to fit your specifications. However, significant savings can often be made. If you are interested in buying a used stairlift, ensure you use experienced, professional stairlift experts. Get in touch to learn more about our second-hand stairlifts.

Prices for curved stairlifts are typically higher than those for stairlifts installed on straight staircases. This is because straight stairlifts can move up and down via a standard, ‘off-the-shelf’ track, whereas their curved equivalents require the creation and installation of unique and bespoke equipment.

The price of curved stairlifts in the UK can vary depending on the model and the layout of the home. The costs of manufacturing and installing a track for a spiral staircase, for example, will be higher than those for a staircase that is mostly straight but has a slight bend at the top. For a personalised quote, contact a stairlift expert to discuss your individual requirements.

Stairlift prices can vary depending on your staircase dimensions, chosen model, and any additional extras. Handicare’s production skills, spanning over 130 years, combined with feedback from satisfied customers and healthcare professionals have enabled them to create a range of products to suit different needs and budgets. Click here to read more advice on stairlift prices.

Stairlifts are effective to run, thanks to their power-saving technology and energy-efficient nature. As a result, the cost of running a stairlift can be compared to everyday appliances like kettles, microwaves, and TVs.

Removal of any make or model of stairlift is free of charge for up to six years after the initial installation when you purchase a new Age UK Trading stairlift. If you no longer require your current Age UK Trading stairlift, get in touch to learn more about stairlift removals.

First stairlift service is covered by the two-year warranty that comes with your Age UK Trading stairlift. There are also options for ongoing servicing and maintenance after your warranty expires, and options to buy an extended warranty. The fees for this will vary, get in touch to learn more about extended warranty. It is generally recommended that your stairlift be serviced by a professional technician at least once every 12 months. Find out more on our stairlift servicing page.

Stairlift rental prices in the UK vary depending on the model. An upfront payment is required, which covers both installation and the first six months of rental. A monthly payment starts from month seven. The upfront payment can be from around £1300 for a straight stairlift and around £3,000 for a curved stairlift.
