Urmston is a popular suburban town in Trafford, known for its independent shops along Flixton Road, Urmston Cricket Club and its strong community character. The housing is predominantly 1930s and 1940s semis and detached properties, with some Victorian terraces closer to the town centre around Station Road and Crofts Bank Road. The adjacent areas of Flixton and Davyhulme have similar housing stock — well-maintained, well-loved family homes where residents often stay for decades.

Straight Stairlifts in Urmston
1930s and 1940s semis in Urmston and Flixton are the most common property type we encounter in this area.

Victorian terraces near Urmston town centre have the steeper, narrower staircase typical of that era.

- Simple joystick or rocker switch controls with remote handset
- Backed by full warranty and lifetime aftercare
Curved Stairlifts in Urmston
Larger detached properties in Urmston and Flixton — particularly those on the wider residential streets built in the 1920s and early 1930s — can have staircases with a half-landing or winder steps at the top. We survey every property individually and manufacture curved rails for any non-standard layout.
- Designed and built specifically for your staircase
- Smooth and quiet throughout, including on bends
- Seat, arms and footrest all fold neatly away when parked
