Straight Stairlifts in Essex

Straight stairlifts are our most popular stairlifts in Essex. Straight stairlift rails have no curves, corners, or bends and can easily navigate narrow staircases due to their slim nature.

If you’re unsure, our friendly team is here to advise you on the most suitable stairlift for your home, including the various features available with each model in our range.

We offer a range of straight stairlift models to choose from.

Reconditioned Stairlifts in Essex

Buying a new stairlift is a significant investment, but it is an essential piece of equipment for people who want to continue living in their homes and staying independent. For budget-friendly options, you can purchase a reconditioned stairlift. These stairlifts offer the same levels of safety and quality as new models and various options can be adapted to suit your needs and staircase.

These stairlifts are unique because only the motor is reconditioned—ensuring the essential driving mechanism operates like new. The motor is thoroughly tested and restored to its original performance. The rest of the components, such as the rail and seat, are not reconditioned but are carefully inspected to ensure they meet our high safety and quality standards. This means you can enjoy a reliable stairlift at a lower cost, with the peace of mind that the key component has been professionally restored.

With our Low Price Guarantee, we will match any like-for-like stairlift quotation provided in writing by any other reputable company within the UK stairlift market.

If you require a stairlift for a short period, we offer stairlift rentals as well. Get in touch with us, and we can make the arrangements.

Stairlift Servicing in Essex

After installation it is recommended that you get your stairlift serviced once a year for new models or every six months for reconditioned stairlifts. Mobility aids like stairlifts are commonly used frequently and therefore can become worn, which is why you must get them checked by an engineer. To learn more about our stairlift servicing options, please visit our Servicing Page.

It doesn’t matter which Essex stairlift firm has manufactured the model; our engineers can service your stairlift to ensure that it is safe to use and that there are no issues with it.

Each of our stairlifts, including reconditioned models, comes with a two-year warranty, offering you peace of mind from the start.

For added protection beyond the two-year warranty, homeowners can purchase an extended warranty for their curved or straight stairlift. Depending on the level of warranty you choose, this can cover various issues, from accidental damage to electrical breakdowns, ensuring your stairlift continues to perform well for years.

Stairlift Maintenance: Keep Your Stairlift in Top Condition

With the correct care and attention, a new stairlift can provide years of reliable service without any functionality issues. To ensure your stairlift remains in excellent working condition, here are some key maintenance tips:

• Keep the rails clear of any obstructions to ensure smooth operation.
• Clean the rails regularly with a dry cloth or use a vacuum hose attachment for hard-to-reach areas to prevent dust build-up.
• If you have pets, remove pet hair from the rails to avoid clogs.
• Limit stairlift use and do not let children play on it or tamper with the controls.
• Always follow the maximum weight capacity guidelines to ensure safe operation.
• Schedule regular servicing to maintain safety and functionality.

If you encounter any issues with your stairlift, don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team for advice or to arrange maintenance services.
