Tottington is a village in Bury, set between Ramsbottom and the Bury town area along Turton Road and Tottington Road. The housing is a mix of Victorian stone-built and brick terraces in the older village centre around Market Street, and interwar and post-war semis on the surrounding residential streets. Tottington has a quiet village character, an active community and many long-established residents who have lived in the same property for decades and want to remain there.

Straight Stairlifts in Tottington
Victorian terraces in Tottington village have a single straight staircase — typical of the Pennine fringe mill-town terrace that we encounter regularly across East Lancashire and Greater Manchester. Interwar and post-war semis on the surrounding residential streets also usually have a standard straight staircase. Both are routine installations for our engineers.
- Quick to install — often within two to three hours
- Available new or as a quality-tested reconditioned unit
- Slim when folded, keeping the staircase clear for others
- Simple joystick or rocker switch controls with remote handset
- Backed by full warranty and lifetime aftercare
Curved Stairlifts in Tottington
Older stone-built properties in Tottington and the nearby Holcombe Brook area can occasionally have more complex staircases than the standard terrace — winder steps or a half-landing are not unknown in the more substantial village properties. We survey all properties individually and never make assumptions without visiting first.
- Designed and built specifically for your staircase
- Smooth and quiet throughout, including on bends
- Seat, arms and footrest all fold neatly away when parked
