Overview

About straight stairlifts in Plymouth

A straight stairlift is the fastest, most affordable and most reliable way to keep using your own staircase. It suits any staircase that runs in a single straight line with no bends or half-landings — terraced houses, semis, bungalows with a split level, and most modern Plymouth new-builds. From the first phone call to the final demonstration, most customers are up and running within 24–48 hours.

The rail bolts directly into the treads of the staircase (not the wall), so installation is tidy, quick and easily reversible. The chair runs on a low-voltage battery that trickle-charges from a standard 13A socket, so the lift keeps working in a power cut. Modern straight lifts are quiet, slim and discreet — the seat, arms and footrest all fold flush against the wall so the rest of the family can still use the stairs normally.

We supply new straight stairlifts from Stannah, Acorn, Bruno, Brooks, Handicare and Minivator, with finance, short-term rental and zero-rated VAT options for eligible customers. Every install includes a free home survey, a fixed written quote, professional fitting by our own engineers, a full handover demonstration and ongoing local aftercare.
