We have years of experience with mobility aids, and we have a variety of models you can choose from. Once you decide, engineers from Handicare, who provide Age Co Stairlifts, will install the model you choose. Our experts will customise the stairlift to meet your needs. We can also offer customisable features that will help it blend in with the décor and style of your home.

Straight stairlifts in Sheffield

One of the most common staircases is a straight one, and anyone with this type of staircase who struggles with mobility could benefit from a straight stairlift installed.

Straight stairlifts are slim and sleek, so they can easily travel up narrow staircases. Rest assured that with a new stairlift, they will be fitted with continuous charge and safety sensors as standard.

A range of straight stairlift models is available to choose from.

Straight stairlift models feature toggle switches that are ergonomically designed, allowing the stairlifts to be controlled easily. These stairlifts also feature safety sensors that will stop the stairlift if there is an obstruction.

These models also have internal batteries to keep them running in a power outage and two handheld remote controls for homes with multiple users. Our stairlifts can also be bought with a perched stairlift seat for those who find it difficult to sit.

Curved Stairlifts in Sheffield

If your home has a staircase with bends or a turn on it, you will need to install a curved stairlift. We have a variety of curved stairlifts in our range, which can be altered to cater to your needs. An expert will make a free home visit and take measurements at your home to ensure the product you choose is right for you.

A couple of curved stairlift models are available to buy. As with our straight stairlift range, curved stairlifts can also be purchased with a perch stairlift seat for curved stairs. This is designed for individuals who find a seated position too uncomfortable, allowing them to lean in a perch position.

• Powered options to suit your mobility needs
• Suitable for both spiral staircases and straight stairs with a sub-landing

Our curved stairlift models come equipped with a manual swivel seat, ergonomically designed toggle switches, multiple remote controls, and safety sensors to turn the stairlift off if it encounters an obstacle.

What happens next?

One you have found a model that suits you, one of the stairlift installers from Handicare will come to fit it. Installation typically takes about a day, and if you have any further questions, please look at our Frequently Asked Questions page or speak to one of our advisors, who will be happy to assist you.

Reconditioned Stairlifts in Sheffield

For a budget-friendly alternative, we also offer reconditioned stairlifts. While this is a cheaper option, reconditioned stairlifts still provide the same level of safety and quality as new models.

The motor is the only part of the stairlift that is reconditioned; therefore, the essential driving mechanism operates like new. The motors are thoroughly tested to ensure maximum performance, and all other components, such as the rail and seat, are inspected to ensure they meet our high safety standards.

We also offer stairlift rental in Sheffield. So, if you require a stairlift for a short period, please get in touch with us, and we will make the arrangements.  

Stairlift servicing in Sheffield

Once a stairlift has been installed, it is important to get a service once a year for new models or every six months for reconditioned stairlifts. Please visit our stairlift servicing page to learn more about our service options.

A stairlift is a mobility aid that somebody will use several times a day, and after some time, parts can become worn and may need to be replaced, so you must get it checked by our friendly team of engineers.

We also offer a two-year warranty for each stairlift, including reconditioned models, providing peace of mind from the start. Additionally, you can purchase an extended warranty for your straight or curved stairlift, which can cover various issues, from accidental damage to electrical breakdowns.

Stairlift maintenance: Keep your stairlift in top condition

Your stairlift can provide years of smooth and reliable operation with proper care. To keep it in excellent condition, follow these essential maintenance tips:

• Keep the rails free from any obstructions to ensure seamless movement.
• Wipe the rails regularly with a dry cloth or use a vacuum hose attachment to remove dust from hard-to-reach areas.
• If you have pets, regularly clear pet hair from the rails to prevent blockages.
• Use the stairlift responsibly—avoid excessive use and ensure children do not play on it or tamper with the controls.
• Always adhere to the recommended weight capacity for safe and efficient performance.
• Arrange regular servicing to maintain safety and reliability.

If you experience any issues with your stairlift, our customer service team is here to help. Get in touch for expert advice or to arrange maintenance services.
