Salford’s housing stock is more varied than many people expect. Weaste, Pendleton and Lower Broughton still have pre-war terraced streets built for Salford’s dock and industrial workforce. Worsley and Boothstown to the west offer leafier streets with larger Edwardian semis and interwar detached properties. Salford Quays brings modern apartment buildings whose internal stairs occasionally also need a stairlift solution. Each property type presents a different staircase challenge.

Straight Stairlifts in Salford

Worsley and Boothstown properties tend to be larger, with more complex staircases. Winder steps are common in 1930s and 1950s semis throughout this area. A curved stairlift, manufactured specifically to your staircase measurements after a free home survey, is the right solution.
- Designed and built specifically for your staircase
