Stairlifts in Plymouth

Regain Your Independence

What we do for Plymouth customers

We are a Plymouth company. Our engineers live here, our vans are based at Airport Business Centre in Estover, and when you ring us about a stairlift you are speaking to someone who knows the difference between a terrace in Stoke and a new build in Sherford.

We rent stairlifts, sell refurbished ones, and service and repair any make of stairlift regardless of who installed it. If you are somewhere in Plymouth, we can usually be with you the same week, and same day when it is urgent.

Flexible Short-Term Support

Stairlift rental from £50 a month

Renting suits people who need a stairlift for a while rather than permanently. After a hip or knee operation, during recovery, or while a family works out what happens next. It is £349 to install and £50 a month after that, excluding VAT, with a minimum hire of six months. When you have finished with it we come and take it away.

Affordable Long-Term Solutions

Refurbished stairlifts from £1,349

Fully reconditioned straight stairlifts, supplied and fitted by us and supported by the same engineers afterwards. The starting price is for a manual model where the seat and footrest swivel by hand. Powered versions cost more.

Repairs and servicing for any stairlift

We repair and service every make of stairlift, whoever originally fitted it and whether it is straight or curved. A great many of the stairlifts we look after in Plymouth were installed by a company that has since disappeared or stopped covering the area. A full service is £70, currently reduced from £85.

Help with the cost

Two things bring the price down for most people. Stairlifts supplied to someone who is chronically sick or disabled are zero rated for VAT, which means no VAT is added at all. And Plymouth City Council administer Disabled Facilities Grants, which can cover part or all of the cost depending on circumstances. We will tell you honestly whether you are likely to qualify for either.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a stairlift in Plymouth?

AMS Group rent straight stairlifts for £349 installation plus £50 a month excluding VAT, with a six month minimum. Refurbished stairlifts start at £1,349 excluding VAT supplied and fitted. Both are zero rated for VAT if the user is chronically sick or disabled.

Yes. We repair and service any make of stairlift in Plymouth, straight or curved, regardless of who installed it. A full service is £70 and we operate 24 hours a day for emergency callouts.

Most straight stairlift installations take around two hours and we can usually attend within the same week. The rail is cut to your staircase measurement, so we need that confirmed before we book the fitting date.

You may qualify for help through a Disabled Facilities Grant administered by Plymouth City Council, particularly if the stairlift is needed on medical grounds and you meet the means test. We can talk you through the process.
