Carlisle is the capital of Cumbria and the principal city of the English Borders. The city’s housing stock reflects its status as a regional centre — the Victorian terraces of Denton Holme, Botcherby and the streets around London Road were built for the city’s textile and biscuit-factory workforce. Stanwix to the north of the Eden is home to the city’s more affluent Victorian and Edwardian residential properties — larger homes with wider staircases and occasionally more complex layouts. The surrounding Cumbrian market towns of Brampton, Longtown and Wigton have older stone properties with their own staircase characteristics. We travel from Colne via the M6 — Carlisle is at the northern end of the motorway and typically around 90 minutes from our base.

The Victorian terraces of Denton Holme, Botcherby and the streets around London Road typically have a single straight staircase of standard Victorian proportions. The post-war semis and terraces of Belah, Morton and Harraby also usually have a single straight run.

- Simple joystick or rocker switch controls with remote handset

Curved Stairlifts in Carlisle
The larger Victorian and Edwardian properties of Stanwix, and the older stone properties in the surrounding Cumbrian towns and villages, can have half-landings or winder steps — more common in these larger and older properties than in the standard Carlisle terrace. Every curved rail is custom-manufactured to the precise dimensions of your staircase following a 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
