Anyone who has purchased or used a mobility product can leave a review. Reviews are checked for authenticity before being published, so you can trust the feedback you read.

Is Review Mobility free to use?

Yes, browsing reviews, comparing products and reading our guides is completely free. We want everyone to have access to honest, unbiased information.

How long does it take to install a stairlift?

A straight stairlift can usually be installed within 2 to 4 hours. Curved stairlifts take longer as the rail needs to be custom manufactured first, typically 4 to 6 weeks from survey to installation.

Do I need planning permission for a stairlift?

No, stairlifts are classified as a domestic improvement and do not require planning permission. However, if you live in a listed building, you should check with your local planning authority.

Can a stairlift be fitted to any staircase?

Most staircases can accommodate a stairlift. The rail is fixed to the stairs, not the wall, so the structure of the wall is not a concern. Very narrow staircases under 28 inches may require a slimline model.

What happens during a power cut?

Modern stairlifts run on rechargeable batteries that charge from the mains. During a power cut, the stairlift will continue to operate normally until the battery runs down, which typically provides several return journeys.
