How Much do Stairlifts Cost On Average In the UK?

Finding the cost of a stairlift is tricky. There is no set cost for a stairlift because each one needs to be customized to fit the staircase in your home. However we can provide the starting cost for each type of stairlift that we offer. Below we have the average prices that each style of lift will start from.

Here are the Prices:

The important thing to note here is that they start from those prices. Numerous factors will determine the total cost of having a stairlift installed onto your staircase.

Why do Stairlifts Cost that Much?

Specific Stairlift Models

Not all brands of stairlift are priced equally, so when it comes to the base cost of the lift itself that will vary from brand to brand. If you want to go for a cheaper brand of stairlift you will miss out on some of the luxuries from a lift like the Flow X but you will save some money.

Stair Case Complexity

If you have a complex staircase with lots of bends, twists and landings then this will play a part in the cost of your stairlift installation. This is because all of the components that a stairlift has to ride on needs to be measured & manufactured bespoke to your staircase.

(This is why curved stairlifts cost more than a straight!)

Custom Rail Lengths to Fit your Stair case

With a straight staircase, measuring & cutting a rail to fit is not as complicated as it is to measure the intricacies of a set of stairs with bends in it. If you have a very intricate stair case with unusual bends & landing spaces, the rail that the stairlift rides on will need to follow it correctly.

(This is why a site survey is important as it allows for the correct measurements to be taken!)

Who Should I get my Stairlift from?

Its worth doing some research before diving into a stairlift purchase. Stairlifts are an excellent tool for improving ones quality of life, but they are not an impulse buy.

There are a lot of companies out there who are not as reputable as they seem. It is worth looking at testimonials from previous customers & Google reviews to see some genuine experiences.

Our recommendations:

• Look at a companies Reviews: Looking at the reviews of a company can say a lot about how they operate. Do they have a lot of poor reviews saying that they were not pleasant do deal with or do they have a lot of good reviews singing their praises?
• See if they are local: How far away is an engineer from you? It is important to check the companies service area to see if reaching you is going to be a matter of a few hours or a few days.
• Did you have a good experience contacting them: When you contacted the company, did they respond quickly & professionally? If you were on the phone with them did they treat you with respect? these are all ways to be able to tell the difference between a professional & unprofessional company.
• Did they offer fair prices: When you received a quote for you lift, is it along the average prices that we have listed? If the price you have been given is significantly lower, it could be a red flag that the person you are dealing with may be sketchy. Likewise, if the price is a lot higher & there is not a clear explanation then perhaps it is worth considering getting alternative quotes from other companies to compare.
