“Mum was sleeping on the sofa because she couldn't manage the stairs. Within a week of calling, she had her bedroom back. They were kind, quick, and didn't try to sell us anything we didn't need.”
“Cannot fault this company. Roger was so helpful and patient with my elderly mother. The stairlift has changed her life.”
“Brilliant service from the initial phone call to installation. The fitters were friendly and professional. My mum is over the moon.”
“A fabulous experience from first meeting to end installation. I can't praise them high enough — explanation, install, demonstration and tuition.”
“Absolutely wonderful family run business and nothing was too much trouble. Sorted out my parents' stairlift very quickly, simply and at an amazing price. Fitted and explained in full — we were left completely reassured at such a worrying time.”
“My 89 year old mum had been stuck in her bedroom for 8 weeks after a fall. I phoned and Roger answered straight away — the stairlift was sorted quickly and I can highly recommend Manchester Stairlifts without hesitation.”
“Our elderly father was in hospital due for discharge. Roger had everything sorted and fitted within a day. Nathan fitted the lift and demonstrated how to work it. We cannot thank them enough.”
“From the very first call to the moment the stairlift was fitted at my parents' house, the service was top notch. My mum and dad love the chair and the freedom it gives them. Excellent quality at an excellent price.”
