Think Stairlifts

Think Stairlifts is a family-run stairlift firm based in Filey on the North Yorkshire coast, established in August 2023. It describes itself as the first independent reconditioned stairlift company serving the Filey, Scarborough and Bridlington area, supplying reconditioned lifts for both straight and curved staircases to buy or to rent.

Because the firm is independent, it is not tied to one manufacturer, and its current reconditioned range includes models from Acorn and Brooks. Each lift is prepared in house by the company’s own engineers to manufacturer guidelines and British safety standards. Surveys are free and without obligation, and are carried out by the same engineer who would install the lift, so the person measuring your staircase is the one doing the work. The company does not employ salespeople and publishes its pricing openly on its website.

Every installation includes a twelve month warranty covering parts, labour and repairs, with an optional extended warranty that adds an annual service. There is a 24-hour response call-out commitment for warranty customers, and the team answers messages by phone, WhatsApp, Facebook and email every day of the week. Removals, repairs, servicing and a buy-back scheme for lifts that are no longer needed round out the service.

Think Stairlifts suits households along the Yorkshire coast who want a reconditioned lift at a lower cost than new, handled by a small local firm rather than a national call centre. The rental option and buy-back scheme make it a practical choice for shorter term needs too.
