Mobility guides, costs and research
This is the Review Mobility blog: more than 600 guides, reviews and original UK research on mobility equipment. We publish what things actually cost, who pays for what, and which products we would not recommend. Prices, grant rates and rules change, so guides carry a visible last-checked date and we re-check the ones that move. We are funded by ads and affiliate links, and companies cannot pay for a ranking or a review. If you are starting from scratch, the eight guides below answer the questions we get asked most. If you know your topic, jump to the section you need.
Our sister site Look Into covers trending consumer products and original UK cost research.

Eight guides that answer the questions we are asked most. Each carries the date it was last checked.
- what a stairlift really costs: UK prices by straight, curved and outdoor, and what a quote should already include.
- walk-in bath costs: Prices including installation, and where the quoted figure usually stops short.
- our Amazon vs specialist price check: Our own capture across 14 identical aids, with Amazon cheaper or level on 11 at full price.
- NHS wheelchair service vs council equipment: Which service supplies which equipment, and who to ask first.
- whether a scooter fits your car boot: Our boot-fit matrix, measuring 10 folded scooters against real boot openings.
- which retailers apply VAT relief: We checked 20 UK retailers to see who actually applies 0% VAT at checkout.
- stairlift warning signs: Nine sales and contract behaviours that should end the conversation.
- our UK price index: Our tracked price dataset for common mobility equipment.
