FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Q: If I arrange to be visited by a LOCAL Stairlift Surveyor will I get the hard sell from them to buy?
A: Absolutely not! The survey is completely free and without any obligation on your part to buy anything.
The Local Surveyor ONLY comes to see you if you specifically request it and you have agreed the date and time. You can then discuss your individual requirements in the comfort of your home.
The Surveyor will accurately measure your stairs and assess your specific needs. Once your staircase has been surveyed, you will be given your own free fixed written quotation. It is then entirely your decision - in your own time whether to buy or not.
Q How long does it take to install my Stairlift? Will I need to redecorate?
A: Because your stairlift is manufactured to the exact dimensions of your home, it usually takes less than an hour! Curved stairlifts can take longer.
Your stairlift is fitted to the treads on the staircase, not to the wall. Because your stairlift is fitted by fully trained specialist Installation Engineers the process is quick, clean and simple.
Before they leave they will make sure that the stairlift is tested thoroughly, demonstrate to you all the features - making sure you are perfectly happy and know how to use it - and of course everything will be as clean and tidy as you had it before.
Q: What happens if there is a power failure, will I be stranded?
A: The Stairlift is DC powered and will continue to work even if you have a power cut.
Q: The use of DC battery power in stairlifts was chosen due to the inherent advantages of safety, smooth power delivery and the ability to operate THE STAIRLIFT normally during a power failure
A fully charged battery will complete approximately 15 to 20 trips (up and down) an average staircase. The actual number is dependent on the length of stair, angle of staircase and the weight of the user.
Q The user has some problems bending their legs - or the stairway is narrow. Will the Stairlift fit?
A: Shouldn't be a problem! We have an option called the Perch Stairlift it is particularly useful for those with limited knee articulation and for installations where the stairway is unusually narrow down to 26" (66cms) wide.
Q What is the maximum user weight?
A: The standard Stairlift has a maximum user weight is 280lbs (20 stone).
With an option that is suitable for larger users, weighing a maximum of 350lbs (25 stone).
Q The Stairway has a turn in it. Can I still install a Stairlift?
In many cases.
A: yes! Staircases come in many varied sizes and shapes, with 'fans' of steps at the top or bottom, sub-landings, etc. It's often possible to fit a transfer platform, construct 'infill boxes' or use two straight stairlifts. Any one of these options is much cheaper and more readily available than a curved stairlift. And you will save yourself £££'s! Curved rail stairlifts can be supplied, but these are only really needed when the entire staircase is curved.
