We know the difference that an exterior stairlift can make to you or your loved one’s life. Whether it’s rediscovering the garden, or simply being able to get to the street from your front door, an outdoor stairlift can reconnect you to the outside world.
Outdoor stairlifts can be fitted to straight or curved staircases. The rail is attached to the stairs themselves, so it doesn’t matter if your exterior steps have no handrail.
In addition to the features you’d expect on an indoor stairlift, outside stairlifts also have:

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.
Feb 2023Superb 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.
Oct 2025Great 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.
Apr 2026David was very patient and very thorough explaining everything with my tricky staircase. An excellent job!
Apr 2026Enquired 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.

Every staircase is different, your free survey gives you a precise quote, not a ballpark.
Exactly how much your outdoor stairlift will cost depends on a few factors:
Straight outdoor 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.
Installing a stairlift on a straight exterior staircase can take as little as 2 hours.
However, complex and curved 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.
In our brochure, you’ll find plenty of detailed information and background on our quality range of stairlifts, including our leading Handicare products.
We provide a free 2-year standard warranty on all our stairlift installations (regardless of whether you choose a new or reconditioned model). You can extend this warranty by an extra 3 years (so 5 years of comprehensive cover in total).
