Why a home survey matters

Every staircase is different — measurements, balustrade depth, doorway clearances and even socket positions affect which stairlift will fit, which rail you need and the final price. A free home survey is how a reputable installer turns a rough phone estimate into a fixed, written quote that you can sign with confidence. Coming prepared means the surveyor can answer your questions properly rather than working around boxes, rugs and furniture.

How to use the checklist

Print the PDF and walk round the staircase ticking items off the morning of the survey. Take the questions section with you when the surveyor arrives so nothing is forgotten. If a question doesn't apply, draw a line through it. The checklist works equally well for a straight stairlift, a curved rail or short-term rental — and is just as useful for an occupational therapist or a family member preparing on someone else's behalf.
