Bury has a typical East Lancashire fringe housing mix — Victorian terraced streets in the town centre and inner areas like Moorside and Redvales, with a higher proportion of 1930s and post-war semis in the Tottington and Ramsbottom areas to the north. The town is known for its market and its access to the Pennine uplands, where the housing becomes stone-built and the staircases more varied. We have been serving the Bury area for years and understand the specific challenges that each part of the borough presents.

Straight Stairlifts in Bury
Central Bury terraces in Moorside and Redvales typically have a single, straight staircase — steep, narrow and needing careful model selection.

- Simple joystick or rocker switch controls with remote handset

Curved Stairlifts in Bury
Larger semis and detached properties in Ramsbottom, Tottington and the surrounding Pennine villages often have staircases with winder steps or a half-landing. Stone-built properties in Summerseat, Holcombe and Edenfield can have more complex configurations still. Every curved rail is made to measure following your free home survey.
- Designed and built specifically for your staircase
- Smooth and quiet throughout, including on bends
- Seat, arms and footrest all fold neatly away when parked
