In this case study, we were called out to a stairlift repair. (See our page on repairs, servicing and maintenance). This was a problem with a Flow 2 a in Leeds, West Yorkshire. This stairlift had a retro-fitted “park point”. The park point is where the stairlift parks to charge the battery. After the original…
Here’s a recent stairlift removal case study in Leeds, West Yorkshire. This one was of note for a couple of reasons. Firstly the stairlift itself was not one we usually see – a Stannah 260 with a retractable rail. The other reason it shone out was that it was fitted very tightly to the staircase,…
If you’re looking for a stair lift for narrow steep stairs, here’s an interesting installation we did on a very narrow staircase near Huddersfield, Yorkshire. In this scenario, we didn’t even know if the Flow X stairlift would fit! That means it was a very narrow staircase. The Flow X is the “go-to” stairlift for…
Here’s a case study on a recent stairlift installation we did. This particular staircase had a glass balustrade. We had to be particularly careful here. Once the rail goes in, it’s a slippery sucker and can easily slide downstairs, or flip if you’re not careful! With the glass partition on the bannister rails, we needed…
In a recent stairlift installation we did, there were a few obstacles such as the stair lift had a door at the top of the stairs, and the bottom! This can be a problem for some stairlifts. For example, a Stannah stairlift would generally need a folding rail at the base in order to avoid…
In our latest case study we explain the installation of a straight stairlift on a set of curved stairs. Straight stairlifts are considerably less expensive than curved stairlifts. However, in most scenarios we recommend the stairlift carries the user over all the steps. After all, your condition could deteriorate, and it would be more expensive…
Here’s a case study of the installation of a reconditioned stairlift in Manchester. In this particular house, there has been an extension fitted to the side of the house. You can see the spare room which the open door leads to in the photo below. For a stairlift installation, this brings up certain problems. It…
Stair lifts for narrow stairs are a speciality of UKstairlifts.com. Before we discovered stair lifts for narrow stairs, we were turning away installations because the standard stair lift simply wouldn’t fit some staircases. In this case study we were literally handed the job by a provider who had the same problem. In the UK in…
How do you fit a stairlift on narrow staircase with bannister rails? Here’s a narrow stairlift fitting we did with a bannister rail obstacle. This is another case study in which a bit of creativity was needed. The staircase was another particularly difficult fit, facilitating a stairlift which could navigate a tight space, turn round…
Case Study – 3 Floor Stairlift Fitting Here’s a 3 floor stairlift fitting we had in Southampton. In this particular situation, we had a narrow staircase with three floors. All of the levels of the house were thoroughly used. So the user needed to park the stairlift at each level for an extended time period….
