I had my Freecurve stairlift fitted by Matthew from Senior Stairlift. The company has been brilliant from start to finish, very supportive with my particular requirements (not the easiest property to fit one in). They took the time to work out a solution unlike some of the other companies I contacted. Matthew was very professional, and kind and cleaned up thoroughly the little mess that was made. Would certainly recommend this company and Matthew in particular.

Superb service throughout from initial contact to final fitting of the bespoke stairlift for my stairs. I was kept updated at all stages of manufacture and the installation by the expert Carl. Carl was courteous, very efficient and extremely helpful as well as being a very experienced fitter. I have no hesitation at all in recommending this excellent family firm to anyone who is in need of an affordable while high quality stairlift.

Great Service by Senior Stairlifts. Initial visit was by Denise who was helpful and informative. Then Survey was carried out and bespoke track for the stairlift ordered. Good communication throughout from Joe the Operations Manager. The stairlift was fitted by Steve who arrived on time and was friendly and informative throughout. Highly recommended after having numerous other quotes.

David was very patient and very thorough explaining everything with my tricky staircase. An excellent job!
Apr 2026★★★★★
Enquired with a couple of companies who said that due to bulkhead height they would be unable to fit a stair lift. Senior Stairlifts, after reviewing photo's and measurements I supplied, said they thought they could do the job. Scott arrived on time and ready for the challenge and within a couple of hours the stair lift was in place and working fine, no issues at all. I am pleased with the workmanship that has enabled my partner to safely traverse our stairs.

We opted for this company after having been disappointed by our initial choice of supplier. The survey was very comprehensive. Fitting was very impressive - with an emphasis on precision & programming of the seat balance & travel along the rail. Final tuning to ensure my exact fitting was thorough & impressive. Steve & Jordan impressed us with their product knowledge, attention to detail &, of great importance to my wife, fully respectful of our property.

Which? Trusted Trader Project of the Year Award 2025
From “impossible” staircase to award-winning installation
Our customer’s spiral staircase had multiple turns. By the time they approached us they had been assessed by several stairlift companies. Every single one said the staircase wasn’t suitable for a stairlift. Instead, they all recommended that a costly through-the-floor lift should be fitted.
We disagreed.
Our engineers created a custom-made curved rail, that follows every twist and turn of the staircase. The result was a stylish curved stairlift that allows our customer to continue to have the full use of their home.
Stairlift finance available
Pay for your stairlift with a loan for up to 48 months. Interest free finance options also available.

Frequently asked questions
Every staircase is different, your free survey gives you a precise quote, not a ballpark.
Exactly how much your stairlift will cost depends on a few factors:
- Your staircase: whether it’s straight or curved, how many steps there are, how narrow it is.
- The stairlift model you choose, as well as any optional add-ons (such as a manual or powered swivel seat).
- Whether you choose a new or refurbished stairlift.
We offer stairlift finance through our partner Snap Finance, to allow you to spread the cost.
Straight stairlifts can often be installed within a matter of days, depending on the stairlift model you choose.
Curved stairlifts can take a bit longer before they can be installed, as the curved rail will need to be custom-made to fit your stairs.
On average our stairlift installations take:
- Straight staircase: 2-3 hours
- Curved staircase: 4-5 hours
However, complex installations can take longer. Our expert will be able to give you a rough estimate of how long it’ll take when they survey your staircase.
Our stairlift expert will come out to your home. You’ll know who they are in advance and they will present identification when they arrive. All our experts are DBS-checked for extra peace of mind.
During this free initial survey we’ll assess and measure your staircase.
From this we’ll review your options and give you a tailored quotation.
If you decide to proceed, we’ll arrange a further, technical survey. At this appointment we’ll create a virtual map of your staircase to finalise measurements and so you can see how the stairlift will look in your home.
The second survey is also completely free.
The minimum staircase width we offer for a narrow stairlift is 610mm (24 inches).
However, even if your staircase is narrower than this, it’s still worth contacting us for a free survey. We pride ourselves on finding innovative solutions to narrow and difficult staircases.
Yes. We pride ourselves on no staircase being too difficult. Spiralled, curved, awkward – we find solutions where others say it can’t be done.
In fact, in 2025 won the “Which? Trusted Trader Project of the Year Award” for a custom-made stairlift we installed on a difficult spiral staircase.
The highest weight limits we have on our heavy-duty stairlifts are:
- Indoor: 31.5 st (200 kg)
- Outdoor: 30 st (190 kg)
On average a well looked after stairlift should last 10 years. But the exact lifespan depends on a number of factors, including:
- How well the stairlift has been maintained and serviced
- Whether you had the lift from new or as a reconditioned unit
- How regularly the stairlift has been used
- Whether it is an indoor or outdoor stairlift (outdoor models don’t tend to last as long as indoor ones)
- The availability of spare parts as your stairlift gets older
As your stairlift gets older, particularly as it drops out of warranty, it becomes more important to have an annual service. This will keep your lift in the best working order, as well as help nip smaller problems in the bud before they become larger issues.
