Handicare, who provide Age Co Stairlifts, will guide you through the different models and options and professionally install your stairlift. We are here to help and can answer any questions you have throughout the process.

Straight stairlifts in St Helens

The most popular type of stairlift is a straight stairlift, designed for staircases without bends, curves, or landings. Straight stairlifts are also slimline, so they can easily navigate narrow staircases.

The installation process takes about a day to complete, and the engineer will explain how everything works before leaving. If you have any questions, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page or contact our friendly team of advisors.

Reconditioned Stairlifts in St Helens

For a budget-friendly option, you can consider purchasing a reconditioned stairlift. Reconditioned stairlifts offer the same levels of safety and quality, and the different reconditioned models can be customised to suit your needs and staircase.

These stairlifts feature a reconditioned motor, ensuring the essential driving mechanism operates like new. Other stairlift components are inspected thoroughly to ensure they operate correctly and meet our high safety standards.

You can also benefit from 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 only require a stairlift for a short period, we offer stairlift rentals, too. So please get in touch, and we can make all the arrangements.

Stairlift servicing in St Helens

Once a stairlift has been installed, you still need to get your stairlift serviced once a year for new models or every six months for reconditioned stairlifts. As a stairlift is something that you are likely to use every day, it is common for parts to become worn, and replacements might be necessary.

For your peace of mind, we will organise a stairlift engineer to service the model in your house. Our engineers will service your stairlift to ensure that it is safe to use and that there are no issues. Please visit our stairlift servicing page to learn more about our service options.

Our stairlifts also come with a two-year warranty, and you can purchase an extended warranty that can cover various issues, such as accidental damage and electrical breakdowns.

Stairlift maintenance: Keep your stairlift in top condition

Your stairlift will give you years of smooth, reliable service with a bit of care. To keep it in tip-top condition, follow these simple maintenance tips:

• Keep the rails clear: Make sure nothing's blocking the rails so your stairlift can glide effortlessly.
• Regular cleaning: Wipe the rails regularly with a dry cloth or use your vacuum cleaner's hose attachment to get to any hard-to-reach spots.
• Pet owners: If you have furry friends, regularly remove pet hair from the rails to prevent them from getting blocked.
• Use responsibly: Don't overuse your stairlift, and please ensure children don't play on it or fiddle with the controls.
• Weight limits: Always stick to the recommended weight limit to keep your stairlift working safely and efficiently.
• Regular servicing: Book regular services to keep your stairlift safe and reliable.

If you have any problems with your stairlift, our friendly customer service team is here to help. Just give us a call for expert advice or to book a service.
