Stockport’s housing reflects the borough’s topography. Edgeley, Heaton Norris and Heaviley have dense Victorian terraced streets with steep, narrow staircases. Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall and Poynton to the south have a high concentration of 1930s to 1960s detached and semi-detached properties. The hillier terrain around Romiley, Marple and the Goyt Valley means older stone properties with more complex staircase layouts are far more common here than in the flat suburbs to the west.

Curved stairlifts are more common in Stockport’s eastern suburbs than almost anywhere else in Greater Manchester. Every curved rail is manufactured to the exact measurements taken during your free home survey.
- Designed and built specifically for your staircase
- Smooth and quiet throughout, including on bends
- Seat, arms and footrest all fold neatly away when parked
