About Platinum Stairlifts

Platinum Stairlifts is a trusted stairlift manufacturer known for producing high-quality stairlifts that combine reliability with comfort. Their stairlifts are designed to feel secure and easy to use, with features that prioritise user safety while offering a smooth and quiet ride.

Platinum has been manufacturing stairlifts in the North of England since 1996. They have an international reputation with products that offer reliable use at realistic prices. All of their stairlifts are custom-built, designed to satisfy the needs of you and your home. Before your stairlift leaves the warehouse, it is rigorously tested.

 

Choice & Custom-Built Quality

Platinum offers three expertly crafted stairlifts that are stylish, comfortable, and built to a very high standard. Every Platinum stairlift is custom-built to your chosen specifications, with options including power-assisted controls, seat adjustments, direction of travel, and a choice of upholstery finishes. Designed to suit real UK homes, Platinum stairlifts can handle narrow or steep staircases, tight turns, and can be installed to start or finish exactly where you need them to.

Innovation

Platinum design stairlifts like no other. The Platinum Ultimate stairlift is one of the most advanced and innovative models on the market, and was the first to offer Forward-Facing travel — making it an excellent solution for users with narrow staircases, or those who experience difficulty bending their knees or legs. It also offers a unique “First Step Start” option that eliminates the need for the rail to extend into your hallway. This makes it ideal for avoiding obstructions near doors and walkways, or simply when space is limited.

Comfort

Since a stairlift is something you may use every day, comfort is a huge priority. The Platinum range includes easy-to-use controls, along with adjustable arms, backrests, and footrests for a more personalised ride. Each chair is padded and ergonomically designed to offer reliable support, helping you travel smoothly and comfortably regardless of your shape or size.

Safety

Your safety is always the top priority. Every Platinum stairlift that leaves the warehouse is tested to the highest standard, helping to ensure every installation delivers a reliable, safe, and secure stairlift journey.

Platinum Straight Stairlifts

A Platinum straight stairlift is suitable for staircases that run in a straight line with n o turns, bends or intermediate landings. This is often the quickest and most cost-effective stairlift option, ideal if you need reliable support moving safely between floors.

Platinum straight stairlifts are a great option for:

  • Standard staircases in houses or bungalows with internal steps
  • Customers who want a straightforward mobility solution
  • Anyone looking for an efficient and tidy installation

Our team can help you decide the best rail placement, chair configuration and safety features to suit your needs.

Platinum Curved Stairlifts

If your staircase has bends, corners or landings, a Platinum curved stairlift may be required. Curved stairlifts use a bespoke rail designed around the shape of your staircase, allowing safe and smooth travel around turns.

A Platinum curved stairlift may be suitable for:

  • Staircases with one or more bends
  • Properties with half-landings
  • Staircases with unusual layouts
  • Households where safety when getting on/off at the top is a priority

Because curved stairlifts are tailored to the staircase shape, we recommend a free home survey to confirm the best and safest solution.

  • Comfortable seating designed for support and stability
  • Swivel seat options to make getting on and off safer
  • Safety sensors to detect obstacles on the stairs

If you have specific requirements (for example, reduced balance, joint pain or limited mobility), we can recommend the safest configuration for your needs.

Platinum Stairlift Prices (What Affects the Cost?)

Platinum stairlift prices can vary depending on the type of staircase, the rail requirement and the model you choose. For example, straight stairlifts are usually more affordable than curved stairlifts, as curved rails need to be made to measure.

The cost of a Platinum stairlift is typically influenced by:

  • Straight vs curved stairlift type
  • Staircase length and rail design
  • Number of bends or landings (for curved stairlifts)
  • Whether you choose a new or reconditioned model
  • Any additional features or upgrades

We always aim to offer fair pricing with clear explanations, and we’ll recommend the most cost-effective option for your home without compromising on safety.
