Straight £1,995, reconditioned £995, curved £2,995 all-in — survey, fitting, handover and 12-month warranty included. Honest UK pricing. [0161 330 5544](tel:01613305544) - 12-month warranty - Fitted in 48 hours - Acorn accredited - Transparent pricing ### Save an Extra 10% on Your Stairlift Cost & Installation There is a reason why hundreds of customers are happy to recommend us to others. 4.7 Who is the stairlift for? \* For MeA Relative Or call us directly on [0161 330 5544](tel:01613305544). **Short answer:** for a stairlift fitted in your home in the UK in 2026, expect **£995 for a reconditioned straight lift, £1,995 for a new straight lift, and £2,995 for a new curved lift** — all-in, including the survey, install, handover and a 12-month warranty. Below is what drives the price up or down, what's usually included (and what isn't), and how to spot a misleading "from £X" headline. ## Fitted prices at a glance Type Fitted price Lead time What's included Reconditioned straight **£995** 24–48 hours Survey, install, handover, 12-month warranty, removal of packaging New straight **£1,995** 24–48 hours Same — new Acorn 130 New curved **£2,995** 1–3 weeks (or 48 hrs Emergency) Same — made-to-measure Acorn 180 Outdoor from £3,000 1–2 weeks Quoted on survey — weatherproof model Heavy-duty (up to 25 stone) from £2,995 similar to standard Reinforced rail, wider seat These are our fixed prices. They cover the lift, the install, the handover and the first 12 months of warranty — nothing added on the day. ## What pushes the install price up Most quotes vary in a fairly predictable way: - **Curved rails** are made to measure — every turn, half-landing and intermediate step adds rail length. A simple quarter-turn at the top sits at the lower end; a double turn with a half-landing sits at the upper end. - **Hinged rail at the bottom** (to clear a downstairs door) — typically £150–£300 extra. - **Powered swivel and folding footrest** — standard on the Acorn 180; an upgrade on some other models. - **Outdoor models** — weatherproof components and concrete/masonry fixings. - **Heavy-duty models** — uprated motor, brake and rail for users above 19 stone. - **Emergency 48-hour fit on a curved lift** — compressed manufacturing schedule. - **Listed building, very narrow stairs, or stone treads** — usually no extra charge, but flagged at survey. ## What pulls the install price down - **VAT relief** — if the user has a long-term illness or disability, the install is zero-rated for VAT. That's a 20% saving — roughly £400 off a straight install or £600 off a curved. We handle the paperwork on the day. - **Reconditioned** — same engineering as new, workshop-refurbished, fitted for £995. - **Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG)** — up to £30,000 in England, means-tested, for adaptations including stairlifts. - **Charitable grants** — Independence at Home, Turn2us and many local trusts contribute toward installs for eligible households. ## What an install actually covers Every all-in price you're quoted should include: 1. **Free home survey** with measurements and a written fixed quote 2. **The stairlift unit** — seat, rail, motor, charger, controls 3. **Delivery to the property** 4. **Installation** by qualified engineers (2–4 hours depending on type) 5. **Full handover** — demonstration, controls, safety features 6. **Written operating instructions and warranty documents** 7. **12-month parts-and-labour warranty** 8. **Removal of packaging** and a tidy work area If a "from £X" quote doesn't cover all eight, ask what the on-the-day total will be before you book a survey. ## The "from £X" trap A lot of online quotes look low because they exclude the install, the survey, the delivery, or the first service. By the time those are added, the headline figure has often doubled. Our prices are the prices — straight, reconditioned and curved — fixed on the day of the survey. ## How fast can a stairlift be installed? - **Straight or reconditioned** — surveyed today, fitted within 24–48 hours in most cases. Same-day fits are available for urgent cases such as hospital discharge. - **Curved** — 1–3 weeks to manufacture the made-to-measure rail, then 3–4 hours to fit. Our **Emergency** option compresses manufacturing to 48 hours. See [how stairlifts are installed](/how-stairlifts-are-installed/) for the full step-by-step. ## What about ongoing costs? The lift itself uses very little electricity — a charging unit draws roughly the same as a phone charger and a few pounds a year on the meter. After the 12-month warranty: - **Annual service** — from £80 per visit - **Battery replacement** — £80–£150 every 3–5 years - **Out-of-warranty repairs** — quoted up-front before any work See [servicing & repairs](/servicing-repairs/). ## Rent vs buy For short-term needs (under 12 months — recovery, end-of-life care) renting often makes sense. For permanent use buying nearly always works out cheaper within the first year.

The free home survey is on-site, takes 20–60 minutes depending on the staircase, and ends with a fixed written quote — no pressure, no obligation. If you book the install, the price doesn't change between survey and handover. ## Our fixed prices Type Fitted price Lead time **Straight stairlift** **£1,995** 24–48 hours **Reconditioned stairlift** **£995** 24–48 hours **Curved stairlift** **£2,995** 1–3 weeks (or **48 hours** with our Emergency option) All prices include the free home survey, installation, handover and a 12-month warranty. ### Our stairlifts - [Reconditioned stairlifts](/reconditioned-stairlifts/) — £995 fitted - [Outdoor stairlifts](/outdoor-stairlifts/) - [Servicing & repairs](/servicing-repairs/) ## Book a free home survey Call **0161 330 5544** or [request a callback](/contact-us/).
