Overview

About stairlift servicing in Plymouth

Like a car, a boiler or any piece of safety-critical equipment, a stairlift relies on regular professional servicing to stay safe, quiet and reliable. Over the course of a year the batteries lose capacity, the rail collects dust and grease, the brushes and contacts wear, the safety sensors drift slightly out of calibration and the seat hinges loosen — none of it dramatic, but together it is the difference between a lift that glides silently for a decade and one that starts beeping, slipping or refusing to start when you need it most. An annual service catches all of it before it becomes a fault.

We've been servicing stairlifts across Plymouth, Devon and East Cornwall for more than 40 years and we look after Bruno stairlifts (Bruno stairlifts today — with more major brands coming soon) — whether or not we originally supplied the lift. Every visit is carried out by one of our own employed engineers, not a subcontractor, and you'll see the same friendly faces year after year. There is no commission, no upselling and no pressure to take a contract: the standard service is a fixed price, quoted up front, and anything we find is explained and quoted before we lift a tool.

Servicing is also the easiest way to protect your investment. Most manufacturers require an annual service to keep their parts warranty valid, and our own warranty on new and repair work depends on the lift being serviced on schedule. Just as importantly, a serviced lift is a safer lift — for the person riding it, for the family member helping them on and off, and for the carer or grandchild who occasionally uses it. We finish every visit with a written service report so you have a record for your own peace of mind and for the warranty file.
