If you are here, you must have had stairlifts and are now wondering how to remove them. While these mobility aids play a crucial role in buildings, changing or removing them can seem daunting. Removing a stairlift involves more than just physical dismantling; it requires careful planning, consideration of safety protocols, and understanding of the technical aspects involved. Here is everything you should know about removing these aids.
Understanding Stairlift Removal
Stairlift removal involves dismantling and taking down a stairlift system from a staircase. This is typically done when the stairlift is no longer needed, the user’s mobility has improved, or when moving to a new residence. The removal process requires careful consideration of safety measures and technical knowledge and requires professional expertise.
Can a Stair Lift Chair Be Removed?
Yes, you can remove a stairlift chair. Whether homeowners can remove it themselves or need professional help depends on their familiarity with the equipment, their comfort level with DIY tasks, and the complexity of the specific stairlift system. Even though some homeowners might successfully handle the removal, there are cases where professional assistance provides a smoother and more reliable experience.
Options for Discarding Unwanted Stairlifts
When the need for a stairlift diminishes or changes, several options are available to help you effectively dispose of an unwanted stairlift. One of the best ways is to sell it privately, especially if it is in good condition and has a resale value. You can also call experts at Manchester Stairlifts to help you professionally remove and dismantle it without causing structural damage to the home. Other options include recycling or donating to charities.
Complexities in Stair Lift Extraction
Taking a stair lift varies in difficulty depending on the type; curved or straight. The removal process involves several steps, and while it might seem straightforward, some complexities can arise. As such, you need experts such as Manchester Stairlifts are a prudent choice.
Cost of Removing a Stairlift in the UK
Like the complexity, the cost of removing a stairlift in the UK varies depending on a few factors. They include the type of stairlift, its complexity, and whether to undertake the removal yourself (DIY) or hire a professional company.
If you decide to remove the stairlift, the main costs will be associated with any tools or equipment you might need for disassembly and potential repair. On the other hand, hiring experts brings in professional expertise, safety, and convenience. It will ultimately be cheaper.
What to Do After Your Stairlift Has Been Removed
After removing a stairlift, you must ensure the area is clean, safe, and ready for everyday use. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the area where the stairlift was installed. Vacuum or sweep the stairs to remove any dust, debris, or dirt that may have accumulated during removal. If you notice any holes, marks, or damage to the walls or stairs, consider patching and repairing them to preserve their aesthetic value.
Get Professional Help
As you can see, removing a stairlift can range in complexity, with factors like the type of stairlift (straight or curved) and the level of technical expertise required playing a significant role. While DIY removal is an option, the intricacies of dismantling and potential challenges highlight the value of seeking professional assistance.

Adding a home chair lift into a house gives the user their freedom back, ensuring that their house doesn’t become smaller than it needs to be.
With the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown continuing in Manchester, it’s never been more important to maximise the space around which we can freely move. For some people, that might mean extending a garage or shed, or redesigning a garden or outside space. For others, it means interior work – which might mean knocking through a wall, for example. For some, though, installing a home chairlift gives them access back to their home, and gives them far more space to live in.
A home chair lift can be installed on any style of staircase, whether it turns around corners or includes half-landings. With Manchester Stairlifts, our experts will assess your home before any installation begins, advising you on any options and requirements that the stairlift might need to meet. This is a two-way conversation, where our experts listen to exactly what you need, why you might need it and are able to offer both emotional and practical support during the installation process. At Manchester Stairlifts, we understand the effects of a home chairlift not only on physical health but also on mental wellbeing and attitude to life.
We also know that one of the major considerations with a home chair lift is home stair lift prices, which can be higher than people initially expect. We hate to think that the freedom to move around their house might be cut off from some people because of money, which is why our home stair lift prices are always the fairest on the market. What’s more, we also offer refurbished home chair lift options to suit all budgets, as well as payment plans and rental opportunities.

Fitting a straight stairlift is a straightforward job, but it still requires technical expertise. There are a huge range of options available and our experts can guide you through the variety of choices.
Mobility around the home has become even more important during lockdown, and whilst the lockdown is beginning to be eased for some of the population, people who are shielding – including the elderly – are being encouraged not to leave their house until we reach level 1 of threat, and we’re currently at level 4. This means that if you’re shielding, or you’re worried about someone who is, then you need to make sure that you or they are continuing to stay inside – and if you can’t access all of your home, then that’s even more difficult to do.
Fitting a stairlift could give you your freedom back. Depending on the staircases in your house, you might need a straight stairlift or a curved one – but the experts at Manchester Stairlifts will be on hand to advise and guide you to ensure that your property is fitted with the most appropriate and comfortable solutions.
Any straight stairlift that we fit can be customised to your needs, whether that be in terms of length or in terms of features that are required. Not only can we guarantee the highest quality of materials and technologies, but also the best prices and value in the Greater Manchester area.
Straight stairlifts tend to be cheaper than curved stairlifts, but all of our prices are calculated following your assessment and when it becomes clear exactly what your needs are, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. You can view our guide prices on our website to get an idea of the costs involved.
To arrange your consultation and to get an initial quote for your straight stairlift, don’t hesitate to call on 0161 330 5544 or fill out a form on our website and one of our experts will get back to you as soon as is possible.

One of the things we take for granted is our mobility. We don’t consider the ease and freedom in which we move around our homes until we can’t. It often comes on gradually, when we start to leave things on the bottom step ‘to take up later’. Then one day the stairs we would scale 30 times a day begin to look like mount Everest and fill us with dread.
With bathrooms and bedrooms on the second floor it’s not until our mobility becomes an issue that the simplest of tasks become increasingly difficult. It can affect our independence and our confidence.
Stairlifts aren’t just there for the elderly. Stairlifts are designed for people with any form of limited mobility; for example, conditions such as multiple sclerosis, arthritis, hip replacements, post-operative disabilities, strength and flexibility issues etc.
If you find yourself struggling to get upstairs, for whatever reason, it’s time to consider a stairlift – it’s as simple as that.

Do you know someone who has trouble going up and down stairs? A case manager in Manchester did and contacted her local authority for help. An older gentleman she was working with was no longer able to safely use the stairs in his home, and as a consequence was at risk for an out of home placement. No one wanted to see him have to leave his home, but realized that something needed to be done to make using the stairs safer for him. His case manager called the local authority and learned of various options.
After discussion, a stairlift was determined to be a good fit, as it met the needs of the individual and would work in the space available. Unfortunately, typical funding sources denied coverage, and family resources were limited, so the purchase of a new stairlift system was out. When it looked like all was going to come to nothing, the case manager remembered Manchester Stairlifts supply and install reconditioned stairlifts, She searched the site and located a reconditioned stairlift that would meet the need. The family purchased it, had it installed, and their dad is now able to remain home and use the stairs safely.
