Services
Stairlift Installation
We provide expert installation of straight and curved stairlifts tailored to individual home layouts. Our engineers conduct free home surveys to assess requirements before fitting, ensuring seamless integration with existing architecture. All installations include user training and manufacturer warranties, with options for new, refurbished, or rental units to suit different budgets.
Lift Repairs
Our 24/7 repair service addresses urgent lift failures with rapid engineer dispatch. We service all makes and models, carrying common replacement parts for immediate fixes. Reactive repairs are supported by preventative maintenance contracts to minimise future disruptions, particularly for critical commercial installations requiring guaranteed uptime.
Preventative Servicing
Scheduled servicing extends equipment lifespan and ensures optimal performance. Our engineers perform comprehensive checks on mechanical and electrical components during annual visits. Proactive maintenance contracts include priority response for commercial clients, with detailed service reports provided after each inspection to document system health and any required follow-up actions.
Short-term Rentals
We offer flexible stairlift rental solutions for short-term accessibility needs. The service includes installation, removal, and ongoing maintenance within the rental fee. Customers can choose weekly or monthly payment plans, with the option to convert rentals into purchases after accumulating sufficient payments to cover unit costs.
Safe Removals
Our removal service dismantles and disposes of obsolete lifts with minimal disruption to property. Engineers carefully detach units from staircases without damaging walls or flooring, leaving sites in original condition. Removed equipment is responsibly recycled, and customers receive guidance on carpet care to address any pressure marks from previous installations.
