Marple is a town on the edge of Greater Manchester, bordering the Peak District National Park. It is known for the spectacular Marple Locks flight on the Peak Forest Canal and its mix of stone-built and brick-built housing. The housing stock ranges from Victorian stone-built terraces in the older parts of the town around Market Street and Church Lane, to 1930s and post-war semis in the newer residential areas. The hilly terrain and older stone construction mean that some Marple properties have more complex internal layouts than you would find in the flat suburban areas — split levels, winder steps and steep stone staircases are more common here.

Straight Stairlifts in Marple
Victorian stone terraces in Marple have the typical steep, straight staircase. 1930s semis in the wider residential areas also usually have a single straight run of stairs. Both are regular and routine installations for our engineers, and we are very experienced with the stone construction common to this part of the Pennine fringe.

Curved Stairlifts in Marple
The older and larger stone-built properties in Marple — particularly those in the original village area and on the hillier streets above the canal — can have split-level layouts, winder steps or dog-leg staircases. The hilly setting can also mean properties have a lower ground floor accessed separately, occasionally creating a multi-flight stairlift requirement. We survey carefully for every property.
