Check a mobility company before you sign
See what other customers say about a company and what they paid, then check the firm before you hand over a deposit. It costs nothing, and no company pays to be listed or ranked.
How we stay independent
- We list more than 700 UK companies, and none of them pays to be here.
- No company can pay for a higher place on any list.
- Companies cannot pay to have a review taken down or a score raised.
- Our income comes from adverts and affiliate links, and we label both.
Browse by what you need
Each section has buying guides, prices and, where we list them, the companies that sell and fit the equipment.

Got a quote? Three checks before you sign
Stairlifts, home lifts, bathrooms and riser chairs are often sold in your own home, sometimes on the first visit. These checks take less time than the sales visit.
Look the company up
Read what happened to other customers. Where we have matched a firm to Companies House, its profile shows when it was set up and whether it is still active.
Check the price
Compare your quote with the price range for your staircase, and ask whether you qualify for VAT relief.
Ask about aftercare
Ask what the warranty covers and who will service the equipment. Taking a stairlift out later can cost extra too.
Buying equipment yourself
Our most-read guides compare products you can buy without a home visit.
