If your staircase has a bend, half-landing or spiral, the stairs can quickly become the barrier that stops you using the whole house. A curved stairlift removes that barrier without the cost, disruption or emotional upheaval of moving home. Unlike a straight stairlift, the curved rail is built to match your exact staircase. That means it follows every turn and landing precisely, parks neatly out of the way, and gives you a smooth, level ride from top to bottom. The real benefits ## What a curved stairlift gives you back. - ### Stay in the home you love Regain full access to upstairs bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces without moving to a bungalow or ground-floor flat. - ### Avoid serious falls on stairs Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death for over-65s in England. A curved stairlift removes the risk on every bend and landing. - ### Made to measure for any turn The rail is hand-built to your exact staircase — quarter-turns, half-landings, dog-legs and spirals all follow precisely. - ### Slim rail, stairs stay usable Modern curved lifts use slim rails and fold-away seats, arms and footrests so the rest of the household can still walk past. - ### Smooth, level ride Self-levelling seats and auto-slowdown through bends keep you upright and comfortable, even on multi-turn staircases. - ### Works in a power cut Rechargeable batteries charge at the top and bottom of the rail and keep the lift running when the mains fails. - ### Peace of mind for families Relatives worry less about falls, and carers avoid the physical strain of lifting or escorting someone up and down stairs. - ### Cheaper than moving house Avoid estate fees, stamp duty, removal costs and the upheaval of moving. A curved stairlift is a fraction of the cost. Safety first ## Falls on stairs are one of the biggest risks for older people. Falls are the most common cause of injury-related death in people aged 65 and over in England. Around one in three adults over 65, and one in two over 80, fall at least once a year. Many of those falls happen on stairs. A curved stairlift doesn't just help you up and down — it removes the risk entirely. You are seated, belted, and carried smoothly over every step, bend and landing. Safety sensors stop the lift if anything is in the way, and the battery back-up keeps you moving even in a power cut. - Seatbelt and swivel-lock for safe transfers - Obstacle sensors on the footrest and carriage - Key switch to stop unauthorised use - Battery back-up for power cuts - Wall-mounted remote call/send controls > "Avoiding one serious fall can offset much of the cost of a stairlift, when you consider hospital treatment, rehabilitation and long-term care." That's why families across Greater Manchester tell us the biggest benefit is simply knowing their mum, dad or grandparent is safe on the stairs. ### How we measure your stairs 1. 1 Free home survey We measure every turn, landing, width and obstruction in your home. 2. 2 Bespoke rail design Your rail is hand-drawn and fabricated to match your exact staircase. 3. 3 Factory fabrication The rail is built to millimetre precision, usually within 1–3 weeks. 4. 4 Tidy installation Fixed to stair treads, not walls, with full demo and handover. Bespoke fit ## Made to measure — not a generic rail. Curved staircases are rarely identical. That's why every curved stairlift we fit starts with a detailed survey and a rail that is built specifically for your stairs. The rail follows quarter-turns, half-landings, dog-legs and even spirals. It fixes to the stair treads, not your wall, so it works in older plastered homes, chimney-breast walls and narrow Victorian terraces without major building work. Book a free survey: https://www.manchesterstairlifts.com/contact-us/ Space saving ## Slim rail, fold-away chair, stairs stay clear. Modern curved stairlifts are designed to keep your staircase usable for everyone else. The rail is slim, the seat folds up, and the arms and footrest tuck in so there's room to walk past. Need to clear a doorway at the bottom? We can add a powered hinged rail that lifts out of the way. Need to park around a corner? We can design a top or bottom parking bend so the chair sits neatly off the main flight. Comfort ## A smooth, level ride round every bend. Curved stairlifts use self-levelling seats and controlled motors that slow gently through corners. That means no jolts, no tilting, and no feeling like you're tipping over the edge. Padded seats, adjustable armrests and footrests, and optional powered swivel make transfers easier if you have arthritis, back pain, hip or knee problems, or breathlessness. Cost vs alternatives ## Far cheaper than moving — and far less disruptive. Moving to a bungalow or ground-floor flat because of the stairs is expensive. Estate agent fees, legal costs, stamp duty, removal fees and the emotional cost of leaving a familiar home add up quickly.

Curved stairlifts help a wide range of people, not just older adults. If your stairs have turns and you find them difficult, you are likely a candidate. - Older adults with reduced strength, balance or stamina - People with arthritis, joint replacements or hip/knee pain - Anyone with COPD, heart conditions or breathlessness on stairs - People recovering from surgery, stroke or injury - Those with neurological conditions such as MS or Parkinson's - Families who want to avoid a serious fall on the stairs ### Carers and families benefit too Escorting someone up and down stairs is physically demanding and a common cause of back injury among carers. A curved stairlift removes that daily strain and can reduce the number of care visits needed just to manage stair transfers. For families, it means peace of mind when you leave the house — no more worrying about a fall on the stairs while you're at work or away. Installation timeline ## From survey to handover in 1–3 weeks. Because the rail is bespoke, curved stairlifts take a little longer than straight ones. But the process is straightforward, and the installation itself is usually completed in a single visit. ### 1. Call or quote Speak to a local advisor or request a callback online. ### 2.

Request emergency fit (https://www.manchesterstairlifts.com/contact-us/) Common questions ## Curved stairlift benefits FAQ What are the main benefits of a curved stairlift? Curved stairlifts keep you safe, independent and able to use every floor of your home. Because the rail is made to measure, they fit turning, spiral and split-level staircases that straight lifts cannot manage. They also cost far less than moving house or building a downstairs bedroom and bathroom. How does a curved stairlift prevent falls? Stair falls are a leading cause of injury for older people. A curved stairlift carries you smoothly over every step, bend and landing, removing the need to pull on banisters, carry items on stairs or rely on someone else's support. Built-in safety sensors stop the lift if anything blocks the stairs. Will a curved stairlift fit my narrow staircase? Very likely. Modern curved rails are slim and fix to the stair treads, not the wall, so they suit narrow Victorian and terraced staircases common across Manchester. A free home survey will confirm the exact fit and parking options. Do curved stairlifts work during a power cut? Yes. The lift runs on sealed rechargeable batteries that charge automatically at the top and bottom of the rail. If the power goes off, the batteries can usually complete several trips before needing a recharge. How long does a curved stairlift take to install? Because the rail is bespoke, it normally takes 1–3 weeks from your free home survey to fitting day. The actual installation usually takes a few hours, and the rail is fixed to the stair treads so no structural wall work is needed. Who is a curved stairlift best for? Anyone whose stairs turn, bend or have a half-landing. They are ideal for people who want to stay in their own home but find stairs difficult because of age, arthritis, balance problems, breathlessness, recovery from surgery or a disability. Are curved stairlifts expensive compared to moving house? A curved stairlift is typically much cheaper than the estate agency fees, legal costs, removal costs and higher property prices involved in moving to a bungalow or ground-floor flat. It also avoids the emotional upheaval of leaving a familiar home. Can I get help paying for a curved stairlift in the UK? Depending on your circumstances, you may qualify for a Disabled Facilities Grant through your local council, or support following an Occupational Therapist assessment. Charities such as Age UK can also advise on grants and funding. ## Get the benefits for yourself. Book a free, no-obligation home survey across Greater Manchester.
