Lancaster’s history runs from the Roman fort on the castle hill to the Georgian quayside of its port years and the Victorian linoleum works of the Williamson family. Its housing reflects that: Georgian buildings in the centre and long Victorian terraces of dressed sandstone, many two to three storeys high. On sloping streets these terraces often have half-basements, which means extra steps inside and out. We take all of that into account when we survey a Lancaster home for a stairlift.

Stairlifts for Lancaster’s Sandstone Terraces
Lancaster lies on the River Lune about three miles inland from Morecambe Bay, with the castle hill rising above the river and Williamson Park and the Ashton Memorial on higher ground nearby. Streets that climb towards the castle and the park often mean steps outside as well as in, especially where terraces have half-basements. We can supply outdoor stairlifts for external steps alongside indoor models, and our surveyor will look at the whole route from the front door to the bedroom.

How quickly can you install a stairlift in Lancaster?
We install most straight stairlifts within 24 to 48 hours of your free survey, often the same day. Curved stairlifts require a custom-manufactured rail, typically taking two to four weeks from order to installation.
Can a stairlift help with the steps down to a half-basement?
Often, yes. A curved stairlift can be designed to cover more than one flight, depending on the layout. Our surveyor will look at every set of steps and explain what is possible.
Do reconditioned stairlifts come with a warranty?
Yes. Every reconditioned stairlift is fully stripped, deep-cleaned, refurbished and safety-tested. Each comes with a 2-year parts and labour warranty.
Can I get a Disabled Facilities Grant in Lancaster?
Disabled Facilities Grants in the Lancaster district are handled by Lancaster City Council and can help eligible residents with the cost of a stairlift. We can provide the written quote the council needs.
