We want to get your stairlift fitted as soon as possible to get rid of the stress and fear your stairs used to inspire, and get you feeling unstoppable. If there is a power outage, you won’t get stuck on your stairs, your lift will keep working to keep you safe. Your stairlift runs on batteries, but plugging it into the outlet ensures that they’re constantly charging. The only requirement for a stairlift is a plug near the staircase to plug the lift into (this is checked during your initial home visit). If you’re concerned about damage being done to your house, you could take a picture of the stairs before installation for added peace of mind, but our technicians are always very careful and clean up after themselves so the only difference you should spot is your new stairlift. The sales consultant will have made a note of things like window sills and heating pipes, but if you have plant pots or photos in the way of where your stairlift will be, you should remove them to help the technicians. How should I prepare for a stairlift installation?īefore the technicians come to install your stairlift, you should look for obstructions on the stairway. It’s all over very quickly, and before you know it, you’ll have your independence back. If you are, you might not want to be too near your stairs as there is some light drilling involved in the process but rest assured we’ll always clean up after we’re finished. The only thing to consider is if you’re sensitive to dust. You can be home during the installation, and you can even watch our friendly technicians as they work. It is a quick process that won’t cause too much disruption to you or your home. What happens during a Stairlift installation? The installation itself should only take a couple of hours. When buying a Stannah stairlift, you’re also given an industry-leading warranty, a professional installation by trained technicians and a complete demonstration on how to use your new stairlift. You can also consider a Stannah’s factory refurbished model or look into our rental program. For curved stairways, the price of a curved stairlift can start at $9,000 and will vary depending on the complexity of your staircase. If you have a straight staircase, the price of a new stairlift will range from $2,500 to $5,000, depending on factors such as your mobility needs, your staircase’s length and the optional features you may choose.

That means there are no hidden charges, no installation costs. The price you’re quoted is the price you pay. How much does it cost to install a stairlift? You won’t need planning permission and you don’t need to worry about taking up your carpet. That means no damage to your walls and very little disruption to your home. A stairlift attaches to your stairs, not the wall.
