Covered by a 2-year warranty (parts, labour & call-outs)

What Are the Best Reconditioned Stairlifts in the UK?
“Best” when it comes to stairlifts is a subjective term. However, with over 20 years of stairlift experience it’s fair to say we have done our homework on this! We choose the best stairlifts to refurbish because we know which ones are the most reliable.
Still, your stairlift choice will depend on a few criteria such as:
- Whether you have a straight or curved staircase
- Any special extra needs – extra narrow stairs or heavy duty stairlift, for example.
- Your budget
- The warranty you require – all our reconditioned stairlifts have a 2 year warranty
Here’s our top choices when it comes to reconditioned stairlifts.
Best Reconditioned Stairlift Brands:
Here’s our top picks when it comes to reconditioned brands:
- Stannah 600 for straight stairs and the Stannah 260 for curved stairs
- Thyssen Krupp (Access BDD) – For very narrow/awkward stairs (Flow X or Flow 2a models when available).
- Platinum Ultimate – A heavy duty option for narrow/curved stairs (weight limit 25 stone)
- Bruno Heavy Duty – another heavy weight option (this is a 30 stone stairlift)
Best Reconditioned Stairlifts by Staircase Type
- Straight staircase – Stannah 600
- Curved staircase – Stannah 260
- Narrow staircase – Flow X/Flow 2a
Most straight stairs will accommodate a Stannah 600 but occasionally we will find a staircase too narrow for this particular stairlift. Most curved stairs will accommodate a Stannah 260 stairlift. With narrow/awkward stairs, we recommend a Flow X or Flow 2a.
Here’s a straight stairlift we installed which needed the Flow X:
How To Choose The Best Reconditioned Stairlift
-
Budget – Our reconditioned stairlifts are more affordable than new stairlifts, while maintaining high quality. This makes them one of our most popular products.
-
Warranty – all our reconditioned stairlifts come backed with our 2 year no-exclusion warranty. This covers you for parts, labour and call outs giving you complete peace of mind.
-
Installation – Our team of engineers can install your stairlift with the minimum of fuss. This is usually done within weeks for a curved stairlift and can be much sooner for straight stairlifts.
-
Aftercare – our 2 year warranty covers your stairlift for any potential problems. We also offer after sales care beyond this period – see our stairlift servicing page for more information.
Quality, Safety & Warranty
Every reconditioned stairlift we sell is:
-
Carefully selected from top models and brands – we only choose those which are in excellent condition
- Stripped down, cleaned, and rebuilt by trained engineers
-
Fitted with new parts where required and always given brand new batteries
-
Tested rigorously to meet our strict safety standards
-
Supplied with a 2-year Platinum Guarantee covering parts, labour, and call-outs – giving you complete peace of mind
You can also choose an extended warranty for extra peace of mind.
Fast Installation and Support
Reconditioned stairlifts are often ready to go immediately, meaning installation is usually faster than waiting for a brand-new model to be built. The lead time for a stairlift will depend on your stairs and the stairlift type. It is usually a few weeks for a curved stairlift and often only a few days for a straight, depending on how busy we are and your level of urgency.
-
Straight stairlifts: fitted in 2–3 hours
-
Curved stairlifts: fitted in 3–6 hours
-
Reconditioned stairlifts usually offer faster turnaround times thanks to ready-to-install stock
And with 20+ years of experience, our Which? Trusted Trader and Checkatrade-approved engineers are only ever a call away if you need support.
