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.
