Straight Stairlift Prices

A straight stairlift runs on a standard length of rail, which keeps the cost down and means fitting can often be finished in a few hours. Reconditioned straight stairlifts cost from £1,595 and new ones from £2,495.

What moves the price up or down:

Reconditioned or brand new
Rail length and any hinged rail needed to clear a doorway at the foot of the stairs
A slim model for narrow stairs, or a perch seat for users who find bending difficult
Powered swivel seat and powered footrest options
Heavy duty models for users up to 31.5 stone

Curved Stairlift Prices

A curved stairlift costs more because its rail is designed and manufactured for your staircase alone, following every turn and landing. Reconditioned curved stairlifts start at £3,395, and new models range from £4,995.

What affects a curved stairlift price:

The number of bends, landings and winder steps
Whether the lift needs to park at a middle landing
Single or twin rail design, and how narrow the staircase is
Reconditioned or new, and the choice of seat and upholstery
Heavy duty models for users up to 30 stone, from £8,995

VAT Relief: Paying Less Than the Prices Shown

Stairlifts are zero-rated for VAT under HMRC rules when supplied to someone with a disability or long-term illness for their own use. If that applies to you, you do not pay the VAT included in the prices above.

For example, a stairlift priced at £2,495 including VAT would cost £2,079.17 for a qualifying customer. We complete the VAT relief declaration with you as part of your order, at no extra charge.

Other Ways to Reduce the Cost

As well as VAT relief, there are several ways to bring the price down:

Choose a reconditioned stairlift, which costs considerably less than new and still carries a 2-year parts and labour warranty
Ask your local council about a Disabled Facilities Grant, which can contribute towards a stairlift for eligible residents; we can provide the written quote the council needs (see our stairlift grants guide)
Keep options simple: manual swivel seats and folding footrests cost less than powered versions
Ask us to compare brands, as we are not tied to any one manufacturer

Servicing and Repair Costs

We recommend having your stairlift serviced at least once a year, or more often if it gets heavy use. A service visit usually takes between 60 and 90 minutes and includes:

Checking the rail, safety sensors and seatbelt
Testing the batteries and charging
Making sure the controls respond correctly
Lubricating moving parts and checking the electrics

We service and repair all major brands, including Stannah, Acorn, Handicare, Platinum, Brooks and Access BDD, whether we fitted the lift or not. Call us for a price for your model.

Stairlift Price Questions

Straight answers to the questions we are asked most about stairlift costs.

How much does a stairlift cost?

A reconditioned straight stairlift costs from £1,595 and a new one from £2,495. Curved stairlifts cost from £3,395 reconditioned and from £4,995 new. All of these prices include installation and VAT.

Are your prices fully installed?

Yes. The prices include the stairlift, fitting by our engineers, a safety demonstration and a parts and labour warranty (3 years on new, 2 years on reconditioned). Your written quote is fixed, with no hidden extras.

Do the prices include VAT?

Yes, they include VAT at 20%. If you have a disability or long-term illness, you can buy your stairlift VAT-free, so a £2,495 stairlift would cost £2,079.17. We handle the paperwork for you.

Why does a curved stairlift cost more?

A curved rail is designed and made to measure for your staircase, so it involves a detailed survey and manufacturing time. A straight rail is a standard product cut to length.

Is a reconditioned stairlift worth it?

For many people, yes. A reconditioned stairlift is refurbished and safety tested before fitting, costs considerably less than new, and comes with a 2-year parts and labour warranty.

Do you charge for the home survey?

No. The survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Our advisor measures your staircase and you receive a fixed written quote.

Can I get financial help with the cost?

Your local council may offer a Disabled Facilities Grant towards a stairlift if you are eligible, and qualifying customers can also buy VAT-free.
