Selecting appropriate indoor stairlifts requires matching equipment to staircase geometry, user requirements, and budget considerations. Manchester Stairlifts supplies three primary categories covering 98% of residential staircase configurations across Greater Manchester properties.
Straight stairlifts suit single-flight staircases without curves, bends, or intermediate landings. Rail systems mount directly to stair treads rather than walls, completing installation within 2 to 4 hours. Straight models represent the most affordable stairlift option, with new units from £995 and reconditioned alternatives from £1,195.
Straight stairlift specifications include:
Installation within 48 hours suits urgent mobility requirements following hospital discharge, sudden health changes, or immediate accessibility needs. Same-week installation available for most Manchester postcodes when scheduling permits.
Curved stairlifts accommodate staircases containing bends, corners, intermediate landings, or directional changes. Custom rail manufacturing matches exact staircase measurements through precision CAD modeling and bespoke bending processes. Curved systems cost more than straight alternatives due to individual rail design and manufacturing requirements.
Curved stairlift applications include:
Manufacturing duration spans 2 to 4 weeks for curved rails, with installation completing within 4 to 6 hours once rails arrive. Free home surveys confirm curved stairlift feasibility and provide accurate quotations reflecting individual staircase complexity.
Reconditioned stairlifts deliver 40% to 60% cost savings versus new equivalents through professional refurbishment of quality used equipment. Every reconditioned unit undergoes 20-point safety inspections, worn component replacement, comprehensive testing, and BS 5776 certification before installation.
Refurbishment process includes:
Reconditioned availability varies based on trade-in volumes and seasonal patterns. Straight reconditioned models maintain consistent availability, while curved alternatives require flexible timing due to limited secondary market supply.

Narrow stairlifts accommodate staircases measuring 750mm minimum width, common in Victorian terraces, conversions, and townhouses throughout Manchester. Compact designs fold to 240mm width when stored, preserving 500mm to 550mm passing clearance for other household members. Slim rail profiles and folding mechanisms maximize space efficiency without compromising safety or capacity.
Outdoor stairlifts provide weatherproof mobility solutions for garden access, patio connections, and external building entrances. IP65-rated construction withstands -10°C to +40°C temperature ranges, rainfall, and UV exposure. Corrosion-resistant materials and sealed electrical systems ensure reliable operation despite Manchester’s variable weather conditions.

Condition-specific features accommodate Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, heart failure, post-surgical recovery, and fall prevention requirements. Healthcare provider coordination ensures appropriate equipment selection meeting individual medical needs.

Absolutely, after the warranty period, regular maintenance on your stairlift is essential. I can’t stress enough how important annual servicing is for ensuring safety and preventing potential breakdowns. As someone who installs and services stairlifts in homes throughout Manchester, I’ve seen firsthand how a bit of upkeep can go a long way.
Scheduling yearly inspections allows us to check key components like the rail, the carriage, and the footrest. These inspections help spot any wear and tear before it becomes a bigger issue. In my experience, keeping on top of maintenance not only extends the lifespan of your stairlift but also saves you money by avoiding those costly repairs that can crop up if things are left unchecked.
Your stairlift won’t leave you stranded during a power cut, thanks to its battery backup system. This system automatically recharges, ensuring you have full access even when the lights go out. When our engineers install a stairlift, they make sure to check the battery backup functionality, so you can rely on it when you need it most.
In Manchester homes, we often encounter clients who worry about mobility during outages. Rest assured, the battery will power the stairlift for several trips up and down your stairs, giving you peace of mind. We make it a point to test the battery during our final checks to confirm it’s in good working order before we leave your home. That way, you can confidently use your stairlift, knowing you’ll never be stuck between floors.
Most straight stairlifts can be installed within 48 hours of your survey. Curved stairlifts require custom manufacturing and typically take 2-3 weeks. On installation day, fitting usually takes just 2-4 hours with minimal disruption.
No. Stairlifts are fitted to the stair treads, not the wall. When removed, only small screw holes remain which can be easily filled. Your stairs and walls will be left undamaged.
Yes! Curved stairlifts are custom-designed to navigate any configuration—bends, landings, 90° and 180° turns. Our engineers will survey your staircase and design a rail that fits perfectly.
Yes, you can install a stairlift in your rented home, but first, you’ll need to get permission from your landlord. When I survey a property, I always check with the tenant about their lease agreement to ensure they can make alterations.
If you’re concerned about making permanent changes, I recommend looking into stairlift rental options. These systems are non-permanent, meaning they don’t require extensive modifications to your staircase. For instance, a rental stairlift can be fitted with minimal adjustments, like securing the rail to the treads of the stairs using bolts, which can easily be removed when you decide to move out.
Our engineers are experienced in adapting stairlifts to various stair designs, including straight and curved models. We tailor the installation process to fit your specific staircase, ensuring safety and comfort. By choosing a rental, you can maintain your mobility without the commitment of a permanent installation, making it a flexible solution for renters in Manchester.
