Stairlifts in Taunton

Looking for stairlifts in Taunton? Enquire about a straight, curved and perch stairlift from Age UK Trading stairlifts. Book your free home visit today.

If you are looking for stairlifts in Taunton, there are various Age UK Trading stairlifts you can pick from. From straight and curved stairlifts to a reconditioned stairlift, you can find a model that’ll help you move around your home easily and, most importantly, safely.

The experts at Handicare provide all our stairlifts and their stairlift engineers will fit the model you choose, and our customer service team will ensure your stairlift meets your needs and will always be on hand to help.

We are here to help you select and customise the features that best suit your needs.

Straight Stairlifts in Taunton

A straight staircase is common in homes and anyone with limited mobility who has this type of staircase could benefit from a straight stairlift installed to get to rooms on the upper floor of their home.

Straight stairlift rails have no curves, corners, or bends and can easily navigate narrow staircases due to their slim nature.

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.

1000 Straight stairlift

  • Neat and compact design
  • Manual swivel seat for easy access
  • Various upholstery options to suit your style
  • Slimline rail with a solid aluminium cover for a sleek look
  • Weight capacity of up to 137kg/21.5st. Heavy-duty motor able to carry up to 160kg/25st

 

1100 Straight stairlift

  • The slimmest track on the market
  • Easy to clean, grease-free rail
  • Powered by Handicare’s patented ‘four-wheel drive’ friction technology incorporating four quiet motors
  • Foldable seat, footrest and armrest to save even more space
  • Weight capacity of up to 137kg/21.5st

 

These straight stairlift models include features such as cut-out safety sensors that will stop the model if an obstruction is detected on the rail, batteries that mean the stairlift will continue to work despite a power cut, and adjustable seat and footrest heights.

All our models offer a perched seat stairlift option for users looking for leaning support.

Curved Stairlifts in Taunton

If your home has a spiral staircase or one with bends or landings, you would need to look at our range of curved stairlifts. We can arrange free home visits and the experts from Handicare will take measurements of your staircase to help you choose your preferred model

We provide a variety of curved stairlifts, and similar to our straight stairlifts, we 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.

4000 Curved Stairlift

  • Double rail system
  • Custom-built for your stairs
  • Powered options to suit your mobility needs
  • Suitable for both spiral staircases and straight stairs with a sub-landing
  • Standard weight limit of 125kg/19.5st. Heavy duty motor able to carry up to 160kg/25¼ st

 

Freecurve Curved stairlift

  • Single rail design (less than 8cm in diameter)
  • Slim, stylish design ideal for narrow stairs and tight bends
  • Powered hinged rail as an optional extra; allows the stairlift rail to be folded out of the way to avoid blocking doorways or access at the bottom of the stairs
  • Standard weight limit of 136kg/21.5st

 

These stairlift models have a manual swivel seat and safety sensors that automatically cut out the stairlift if it encounters an obstruction. There are also 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.

Reconditioned Stairlifts in Taunton

New stairlifts and mobility aids can be expensive, and if you are on a budget, then something you may want to consider is reconditioned stairlifts. Only the motor is reconditioned on these stairlifts—ensuring the essential driving mechanism operates like new. The motor is thoroughly tested and restored to its original performance. Other components, such as the rail and seat, are not reconditioned but 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.

We also offer stairlift rental in the South West if you need a stairlift for a short period. Please give us a call, and we’ll be able to help you arrange this.

Stairlift Servicing in Taunton

Once the stairlift is installed, the job isn’t complete, as you will need to get your stairlift serviced once a year for new models or every six months for reconditioned stairlifts. As a stairlift is a mobility aid that may be used every day, it will become worn, which is why it is important that you get it checked by an engineer. To learn more about our stairlift servicing options, please visit our Servicing Page.

Experienced engineers will 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.

If you have bought a new stairlift, the great news is that it doesn’t require immediate servicing, so you won’t need to worry about repair costs right after installation. While most providers offer a standard one-year warranty, Age UK Trading stairlifts go the extra mile with a 2-year warranty, which includes one free service.

For added protection beyond the two-year warranty, homeowners can purchase 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.

Stairlift Maintenance: Keep Your Stairlift in Top Condition

A new stairlift provides years of reliable service without encountering any functionality issues if cared for properly. To ensure your stairlift remains in excellent working condition, here are some key maintenance tips:

  • Keep the rails clear of any obstructions to ensure smooth operation.
  • Clean the rails regularly with a dry cloth or use a vacuum hose attachment for hard-to-reach areas to prevent dust build-up.
  • If you have pets, remove pet hair from the rails to avoid clogs.
  • Limit the use of the stairlift and do not let children play on it or tamper with the controls.
  • Always follow the maximum weight capacity guidelines to ensure safe operation.
  • Schedule regular servicing to maintain safety and functionality.

If you experience any issues with your stairlift, our customer service team is here to help. Get in touch for expert advice or to arrange maintenance services.
