Are Reconditioned Stairlifts Safe?
As you get older you may find you are struggling to manage around the house the same as you used to. Simple tasks you used to do every day can become difficult and start taking more time out of your day.
If you find getting around the house and climbing the stairs is becoming an issue then you might want to look into purchasing a stairlift.
We understand that purchasing a stairlift can be expensive. You shouldn’t have to live with uneasy pain and stress as you get older and if you need a stairlift it’s important you get one.
A reconditioned stairlift can be a great option if you are looking for a stairlift but don’t want to pay for a brand new stairlift.
What Are Reconditioned Stairlifts?
Reconditioned stairlifts are stairlifts that have already been used. A lot of people have stairlifts but only have them for a short while until they no longer need them. These stairlifts are then reconditioned.
They work just the same as a brand new stairlift would and our team is professionally trained to install them as safely and as efficiently as possible.
Here at Senior Stairlifts, we have a range of reconditioned stairlifts, although we cannot guarantee which ones will be available. After a quick survey of the staircase where you wish to install your stairlift, we can see what we have available and find the right stairlift to suit you and your needs.
Once you have picked your stairlift then we can install it. Installation is quick and easy. Our team of specially trained professionals make sure to install your stairlift as quickly and efficiently as possible, all while making sure it’s completely safe and secure for you to use.
We understand you are letting us into your home and we clean up any mess we might make whilst installing your new stairlift and leave the house exactly how we found it. You can read more about our Covid 19 statement here.
Are Reconditioned Stairlifts Safe?
Reconditioned Stairlifts are completely safe. Our team of professionally trained engineers put every stairlift through rigorous testing to make sure your new stairlift will still run smoothly and safely.
Your comfort and safety is always our top priority when installing your stairlift, whether it’s reconditioned or brand new, purchased or rented. We understand that a stairlift is something you are going to be using every day and maybe something you rely on. We never want you to feel scared or unsafe using a Senior Stairlifts stairlift and we won’t supply any stairlift that we’re not 100% happy with.
When we recondition a stairlift we replace the items like the seat and make sure the stairlift is thoroughly cleaned before you use it. Along with safety, hygiene is incredibly important and we want to make sure every stairlift we provide is cleaned to the highest standard.
How To Keep Your Stairlift Safe
If you want to make sure your stairlift is safe to use for as long as you have it, then you have to make sure you get it serviced regularly.
When we service your stairlift we are checking to make sure your stairlift is safe and that nothing Is wrong with the mechanism. If you do think something is wrong, or you need a repair, then we can be there within 24 hours to make sure your stairlift is running as it should.
We can provide repairs to your stairlift whether you bought from us or not, all across the UK. Talk to a helpful member of our team for more information.
