The basics ## What is a home stair lift? A home stair lift is a motorised chair that runs along a rail fixed to your staircase, carrying you safely between floors without any strain on joints, balance or breath. The rail attaches to the stair treads — not the wall — so there's no structural work and no lasting change to the staircase. Most straight models are installed in under two hours and can be used the same day. The seat folds flat when not in use, and the controls are simple — a joystick or rocker on the armrest, plus remote handsets so the lift can be called from either landing. - No wall fixings, no plastering - Slim folded width — stairs stay walkable - 12-month parts & labour warranty - 24-hour repair callout line Your options ## Types of home stair lift Four routes to the same outcome — the right lift for your staircase, fitted by a local engineer.

Narrow staircases ## Choosing a home stair lift for narrow hallways A lot of Manchester homes — Victorian terraces in Levenshulme and Longsight, mill-worker terraces across Bolton and Oldham — have hallways and stairs as narrow as 680–720 mm. Choosing the right home stair lift for a narrow staircase comes down to three things: - A **slimline folded width** — the [Acorn 130](/acorn-130/) folds to around 340 mm so the stairs stay walkable. - A **tread-fixed rail** rather than wall fixings into lath-and-plaster. - A **powered swivel at the top** if your stairs end in a tight half-landing. We measure wall-to-string width, tread depth and headroom on the survey and tell you straight whether a standard lift fits or a custom rail is needed. ### 680 mm and up Most narrow staircases across Greater Manchester are workable with a slim folded carriage and a perch-seat option. ### Tread-fixed rail Bolts to the staircase, not the wall — important on older lath-and-plaster Manchester properties. Unsure if your stairs are wide enough? We'll measure for free and confirm the right model on the spot. [More on stairlifts for narrow stairs](/stairlifts-for-narrow-stairs/) Coming out, not going in? ## How to remove a home stair lift Removal on a well-maintained unit is straightforward and leaves no permanent mark on the staircase. The rail unbolts from the tread fixings, the carriage disconnects from the power supply, and both are cleared without damage to carpet, walls or stairs. [Read the full removal guide](/stairlift-removal-guide/) ### Can I remove it myself? Yes — there's no legal reason you can't. The carriage on most models is 25–35 kg and needs two people to handle safely on a staircase. Acorn rails are designed to break into sections for easy removal; older Brooks models follow a similar process but may have non-standard fixings that benefit from someone familiar with the unit. We offer professional removal across Greater Manchester, with or without a replacement fit. If the unit is an Acorn model in reasonable condition, we may be able to take it back for reconditioning.

Then installed in your home with a full 12-month warranty. We hold reconditioned straight stair lifts in stock and can typically install within 24–48 hours of a confirmed survey. [Reconditioned stair lifts from £995](/reconditioned-stairlifts/) ## Renting a home stair lift in Manchester If you only need a stair lift for a few weeks or months — recovery from surgery, end-of-life care, or a short-term visitor — renting can be a better fit than buying. Maintenance is included and we swap or remove the unit when you're done.

Reconditioned straight from £995 fitted, new straight from £1,995 fitted, curved made-to-measure from £2,995 fitted. All prices include the free home survey, installation and a 12-month warranty. How quickly can it be fitted? Straight and reconditioned home stair lifts are usually installed within 24–48 hours of your survey. Curved lifts take 1–3 weeks because the rail is custom made, though emergency 48-hour fitting is available. Will it damage my staircase? No. The rail bolts to the stair treads, not the wall, so there's no plastering or structural work. When the lift is eventually removed, the small fixing holes are easily filled. Can a home stair lift fit narrow stairs? Yes — most Manchester terraces and mill-worker houses can be fitted with a slimline model such as the Acorn 130, which folds to around 340 mm so the stairs stay walkable on foot. Can I remove a home stair lift myself? There's no legal reason you can't. The carriage weighs 25–35 kg and benefits from two people. Most Acorn rails are designed to break into sections for straightforward removal. We also offer professional removal across Greater Manchester. ## Ready for a free home survey?
