Select a link at the top for information on individual stairlifts.

Stairlifts come in two options, straight or curved. Which one you need depends on the configuration of your stairs. If you have a bend in your stairs then you need a curved stairlift. If you have straight stairs then you can have a straightstairlift.

Stairlifts can be fitted to either the left or right hand side of your stairs, this is usually determined by the configuration of your house. The stairlift will usually fit next to the outside or joining wall to leave easy access to your stairs for others to get up and down the stairs. In the case where your staircase is in the middle of your house and you have doors or a corridor on both sides of the stairs then a hinge can be fitted to the bottom of the track to leave a clear space to pass.

Stairlifts fix to the floor and not to the walls. There is no drilling into the walls when fitting a stairlift.

Almost all stairlift are battery operated and run on a low voltage. Look out for older mains powered stairlifts as many are now obsolete and parts are difficult or impossible to obtain.

There are quite a few stairlift manufacturers to choose from. Stannah, Acorn, Brooks and Minivator are the big four as such but Lift Able (Thyssen), Bison Bede and Freelift also manufacture stairlifts.

At A M Stairlifts we can service, repair and install almost any make and model of stairlift. We also offer a moving service where we can remove your stairlift from your property and install in into another for you (please note that this is only possible with straight stairlifts as curved stairlfts are custom build and moving one from one property to another requires a full survey and new track to be built). Call or email us for more information on this service.
