Preston received its Guild Merchant charter in 1179 and still holds the Preston Guild every 20 years, the only such guild left in the UK. During the Industrial Revolution it became a major cotton town, and the Victorian terraced cottages built for mill workers still line many inner streets. Alongside them you will find interwar and post-war estates and the Georgian townhouses around Winckley Square, so staircases across the city vary a great deal. Our surveyors measure every home individually before recommending a stairlift.

Stairlifts for Every Kind of Preston Home
With the River Ribble forming its southern edge, the Fylde plain to the west and the Forest of Bowland rising to the north-east, Preston covers a wide mix of neighbourhoods. A Victorian terraced cottage near the city centre, a Georgian townhouse by Winckley Square and a post-war semi in Ribbleton all need different stairlift solutions. Whether you live near Avenham Park, in the shadow of St Walburge’s spire or out in Fulwood, our surveyors measure each staircase in person before recommending a model.

Can you repair a stairlift you did not fit?
Absolutely. Our engineers are trained across all major brands including Stannah, Handicare, Acorn, Platinum, Brooks and Access BDD. We carry a comprehensive parts inventory for fast, cost-effective repairs on any brand.
Can you fit a stairlift in a Georgian townhouse?
Yes. Taller period homes often have turning staircases with landings, which a made-to-measure curved stairlift is designed for. We survey the staircase first and explain the options before you commit.
Is a stairlift VAT-exempt?
Yes. Stairlifts are zero-rated for VAT when supplied to a person with a disability or long-term illness. We handle all the required VAT relief paperwork for you at no extra charge.
Can I get a Disabled Facilities Grant in Preston?
Disabled Facilities Grants in the city are handled by Preston City Council and can help eligible residents with the cost of a stairlift. We can provide the written quote the council needs.
Stairlifts in Longridge
Longridge. Longridge is a market town at the western end of Longridge Fell, about eight miles north-east of Preston. It grew after 1800 around its stone quarries, and the Preston and Longridge Railway opened in 1840 to carry the stone, followed by cotton mills. Homes range from older properties to newer housing, so we measure every staircase in person.
We cover Longridge and the surrounding area, including Grimsargh, Ribchester, Alston and Dilworth. Call us on 07534 654944.
