Why these questions matter
Most stairlift complaints come down to surprises after the sale — a quote that didn't include VAT, an 'authorised dealer' that wasn't, or a warranty that quietly excludes labour. Asking the same questions of every supplier turns a confusing comparison into a fair one. Reputable installers welcome these questions; high-pressure salespeople don't.
How to use it
Print one copy per quote and tick the boxes as you go. If a supplier refuses to answer in writing, walk away. The checklist is deliberately written so it works whether you're buying new or renting short-term — and it pairs naturally with our buying guide and cost guide.
