Hire a Stairlift for £50 a month
Renting makes sense when you need a stairlift for a while rather than forever. After an operation, during a period of recovery, or while you decide whether a permanent one is right. There is no long tie in and we take it away when you are finished with it.
£349 to install and £50 a month after that, excluding VAT, with a minimum hire of six months. Most of our customers qualify for VAT relief on disability grounds, which means they pay no VAT at all. We will tell you honestly whether you qualify.
We fit straight stairlifts only, and we fit them to the stair treads rather than the wall, so there is no structural work and nothing to make good afterwards. Most installations take a couple of hours.
-
Hire or Buy Our made to measure stairlifts are available to hire or buy one of our refurbished models.
-
Clean, Hassle-free Installation Installed directly to stair treads with no structural changes, keeping your home neat and disruption-free.
-
Responsive Repairs & Support 24/7 emergency callouts and fast fault resolution to keep your stairlift running when you need it most.
Lift Maintenance
Lifts serviced, repaired and kept legal
We maintain and repair passenger lifts, goods lifts, platform lifts and escalators of every make and model, regardless of who installed them. Planned servicing keeps them running. When something does go wrong, we answer the phone at any hour and fix 98% of breakdowns on the first visit.
LOLER inspections are a legal requirement, every six months for lifts carrying people. We carry them out, document them properly and tell you what needs doing before it becomes urgent.
-
Comprehensive Lift Maintenance From installation to decommissioning, we work across all types and brands of passenger and goods lifts.
-
Fast Emergency Callouts Our engineers respond quickly — resolving over 98% of breakdowns during the first site visit.
-
Fully Compliant Testing We carry out LOLER inspections and testing to meet all UK safety and legal standards.
FIRE AND SECURITY
Fire systems that pass inspection
Fire alarms, extinguishers, emergency lighting, intruder alarms and CCTV, installed, serviced and certified. If you are responsible for a building, you already know the paperwork matters as much as the equipment. We keep both in order.
Servicing contracts are scheduled so nothing lapses, and every visit leaves you with the certification you need for your insurer and your fire risk assessment.
-
Full Fire System Coverage From alarms to extinguishers, we provide end-to-end fire protection for all building types.
-
Regular Maintenance Contracts Ongoing servicing ensures your systems remain compliant, functional, and ready when you need them most.
-
Expert Compliance Testing We test and certify systems to meet UK fire safety laws and insurance requirements.
