Eccles is a historic town within Salford, sitting just off the M60 motorway. The housing stock is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraced streets — particularly along Eccles New Road, Church Street and the surrounding side streets — built for workers in the surrounding dock and industrial area. The Winton and Monton areas to the south have a higher proportion of interwar semis and some larger Edwardian detached properties where staircase configurations can be more complex.

Stairlifts Eccles – Installation, Repairs & Servicing
Our Stairlift Installation Service in Eccles
We cover Eccles and the surrounding M30 postcode. Being close to the M60, our engineers can reach Eccles quickly from Colne. We typically also cover Swinton, Pendlebury and Walkden on the same day as Eccles visits. Call us on 01282 869042.
Straight Stairlifts in Eccles
Victorian and Edwardian terraces along Eccles New Road and Church Street typically have a single straight staircase — often steep and narrow but always manageable with the right slim-profile model. These are routine installations for us and we can usually complete a standard Eccles terrace installation in a single half-day visit.
- 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 Eccles
Larger properties in Monton and Winton — particularly the later Edwardian semis and detached properties — sometimes have a half-landing or decorative winder steps. We survey all Eccles properties carefully before recommending and never fit a curved lift where a straight will do equally well.
- Designed and built specifically for your staircase
- Smooth and quiet throughout, including on bends
- Seat, arms and footrest all fold neatly away when parked
- Suitable for L-shaped, U-shaped, spiral and winding stairs
- A surveyor measures your home precisely before manufacture
