If you have a spiral staircase, you might think it’s simply not possible to have a stairlift in your home. But with models fitting staircases as narrow as 610mm, and custom-made rails that tightly hug the curves of your stairs, you’ll be surprised what we can achieve.
Stairlifts for spiral staircases are our speciality. Our skilled engineers can even install stairlifts on the thinner side of a fanned staircase, keeping the wider part of the stairs clear for other family members.
We have a range of compact, space saving stairlifts that allow you to travel safely and comfortably up and down stairs. We’re often able to help, even if you’ve been told by other companies that it’s not possible, or that you need to install a through the floor lift instead.
Contact us for a free survey and our experts will let you know your options.
All our stairlifts come with a 2-year warranty (extendable up to 5 years). We offer this warranty on both our new and reconditioned models.

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.
5 Mar 2026From “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.
Pay for your stairlift with a loan for up to 48 months. Interest free finance options also available.

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.

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.

The second survey is also completely free.
Every staircase is different, your free survey gives you a precise quote, not a ballpark.
Exactly how much your spiral stairlift will cost depends on a few factors:
Curved stairlift rails need to be custom-made. This means they can take a few weeks before they’re ready for installation.
However, we understand that some situations are urgent. We’ll do everything we can to get your lift delivered and installed as quickly as possible.
Installing a stairlift on curved stairs takes 4-5 hours on average.
However, this will vary depending on how complex your staircase is. Our expert will be able to give you a rough estimate of how long it’ll take when they survey your staircase.
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.
The highest weight limits we have on our heavy-duty stairlifts are:
In our brochure, you’ll find plenty of detailed information and background on our quality range of stairlifts, including our leading curved stairlifts.
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).
