Kendal is the gateway to the Lake District — a grey-stone Westmorland market town of considerable age and character. The properties in and around Kendal’s historic core, including the yards and ginnels off Highgate and Stricklandgate, are among the oldest and most characterful we encounter in the North. The Victorian terraces of Kirkland, Nether Bridge and the surrounding streets were built for Kendal’s wool and snuff industries. The interwar and post-war semis of Heron Hill, Sandylands and Stainton provide more modern dimensions. The South Lakeland villages of Milnthorpe, Kirkby Lonsdale and Sedbergh have stone-built properties where complex staircase configurations are the norm. We travel from Colne via the M6 and A65 — a route we use regularly.

Curved Stairlifts in Kendal
The historic properties in Kendal’s town centre yards, and the stone-built village properties of Milnthorpe, Kirkby Lonsdale and Sedbergh, can have the most unusual staircase configurations we encounter across the whole of South Lakeland. Properties that have been converted from commercial use, farmhouses that have been modified over centuries, and the cottages in Kendal’s historic yards all present unique surveying challenges. Every curved rail is manufactured to the precise measurements of your specific staircase after a detailed home survey. We never assume.
- 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
