How to keep your stairlift safe and reliable, from daily checks to annual servicing.

Stairlift Servicing Explained

An annual service keeps your stairlift safe, your warranty valid and small problems from becoming expensive ones. A typical service takes 45–60 minutes and includes a full safety check, battery test, rail clean, lubrication, brake test and a brief demonstration. Budget around £90–£150 per visit.
