Prices and quotations

Look beyond the starting price

The rail, installation, servicing and any building work can change the total. Our price guides explain the figures given by the supplier and what to check in a written quotation.

Before you compare quotes

  • Check what installation and building work include.
  • Compare warranty and servicing terms.
  • Ask whether the quoted price includes VAT.
  • Check eligibility for help with costs.

Common questions

Does a stairlift fix to the wall?

The rail is normally supported by brackets fixed to the staircase itself.

Can every home lift take a wheelchair?

No. Check the cabin, doorway, ramp and turning space against the actual chair and user.

Should I get more than one quotation?

Comparing written quotes helps you see differences in the equipment, installation, warranty and servicing included.
