Overview
Our stairlift installation service covers everything from the first phone call to the final demonstration. A friendly local advisor visits your home, measures your staircase, talks through the options and gives you a fixed price in writing — with no pressure and no commission-led upselling. We install every type of stairlift: straight, curved and outdoor, from leading brands including Stannah, Acorn, Bruno, Brooks, Handicare and Minivator.
On install day, our employed engineers protect your floors with dust sheets, fit the rail neatly to the treads of the staircase (never the wall), wire the charging points, test every safety system — brake, seatbelt, sensors, key switch and limit stops — and walk you and your family through the controls until you feel completely confident. Straight stairlifts are typically completed in 2–3 hours; curved lifts in a single day. We tidy up before we leave and you have our direct number for life.
Because we're a Plymouth independent local business, we can usually survey a straight stairlift within 24–48 hours and fit on the same day where the situation is urgent — hospital discharge, post-fall, end-of-life care. Curved stairlifts require a bespoke laser-measured rail manufactured to your exact staircase, typically 1–3 weeks from survey to install. Every installation is backed by a written two-year warranty and the option of an annual service contract to keep your cover going long-term.
