If you’re looking for a second hand stairlift to buy, here’s a few prices to peruse. The cost of a second hand, professionally refurbished stairlift is considerably less than buying brand new. Here’s a quick overview of what you can save when buying second hand.
Our customers love our reconditioned stairlifts because they get a superb, high quality stairlift at a much lower price. But cost isn’t the only factor when buying second hand. There’s other advantages of reconditioned stairlifts too. The main other advantage is speed – reconditioned stairlifts are ready and waiting in stock, and can often be installed much more quickly than when buying new.
Second Hand Stair Lifts Cost – A Few Examples
Here’s a few examples of the savings you can make on stairlifts when buying second hand. Although each individual stairlift will vary in price, according to your exact specifications, this gives you an overview of what you can expect.
This reconditioned stairlift we were able to provide and install for £1,550. The stairlift is a Stannah 600 right hand, auto-swivel with assisted footplate. A brand new model would cost in the region of £2,300.
Here’s another similar model we installed for£1,550 again. In this instance we were able to install a straight stairlift on a curved staircase. This isn’t always the best solution and it will depend on the user being confident to make the last steps independently.

Second Hand Stair Lifts Cost – Curved Staircases
Curved staircases are more complex because you will need a rail which has more customisation. With a straight staircase, the rail is fairly simple, but with a curved one, the rail must be configured to match your staircase exactly. This of course adds to the cost.
Here’s a few examples of second hand stairlifts we installed and their cost.
This model is a Stannah 260 for a curved staircase. This one was £3,850 and had a bottom 180 degree internal parking wrap and a 90 degree internal incline bend. Flush landing finish & powered swivel. Brand new this would be in the region of £4,950 but of course this would also depend on your staircase configuration.
The one pictured above is a Thyssen Flow 2a. It has a 180 mid flight wrap internal steep wrap and a full auto swivel (fully programmable) with a small footplate and enclosed arms (for a tighter fit). This one was £4250. (Brand new around £6750).
The Flow 2 and Flow X stairlifts from Thyssenkrupp/Access BDD are superb for very narrow and awkward stairs, and often the only solutions which will work if your staircase is very narrow.
This installation was £4,650 and it’s a Thyssen Flow 2a. It has a bottom internal drop nose bend, a top 180 degree landing parking wrap with run on. It has a fully programmable auto-swivel and a small footplate for extra leg room. Enclosed arms to allow handrail use (slimmer fit) and a brushless motor. Brand new this would be around (£6950.)
