Stalybridge is a market town on the eastern edge of Tameside, bordering the Pennines and sitting close to the Yorkshire border. The town grew around the cotton industry and the Huddersfield Narrow Canal, and its housing reflects that industrial Pennine character. Victorian stone terraces are common in the older parts of town around Melbourne Street, the canal area and Waterloo Road. The hillier eastern edges of Stalybridge, rising towards the Pennine moorland, include older stone cottages and properties with non-standard staircase layouts that require careful surveying before any recommendation is made.

Straight Stairlifts in Stalybridge

Straight stairlifts are the standard solution and we are very experienced with this specific type of property. Slim-profile models are commonly needed.

- Available new or as a quality-tested reconditioned unit
- Slim when folded, keeping the staircase clear for others

Curved Stairlifts in Stalybridge
Stone-built cottages and older properties on the Pennine fringes of Stalybridge can have winder steps, half-landings and tight stone-treaded staircases that are common across the Pennine edge. Curved stairlifts are more prevalent in eastern Stalybridge than in the flat western areas, and we manufacture each curved rail to the precise measurements of your staircase.

- Smooth and quiet throughout, including on bends
