What Our Customers Say
Types of Stairlifts We Supply and Install
We install domestic stairlifts for every staircase configuration, from the most straightforward single-flight of straight stairs to the most difficult staircases with tight bends, multiple turns or narrow widths. Every home stairlift we supply is a modern, electric stairlift with a built-in battery backup system.
Straight Stairlifts
A straight stairlift is the right choice for a single-flight staircase with no bends or turns. It is the most affordable stairlift for home use and the fastest to install, typically fitted in 2 to 4 hours. Most standard UK homes have a straight staircase, making this the most commonly installed residential stairlift that we supply.
The straight stairlift is the best stairlift to start with for most homeowners: simple, reliable and available for next-day installation.
Curved Stairlifts
A curved stairlift is designed for staircases with bends, turns, intermediate landings or spiral configurations that many providers consider difficult or impossible. Our modular rail system is measured and assembled directly on your staircase, with no lengthy wait for custom-fabricated parts.
Next-day installation is available on curved stairlifts, making Adapt A Home one of the best stairlift companies in the UK for complex staircase solutions.
Narrow Stairlifts
Our narrow stairlift is built for tight or compact staircases common in Victorian terraces, older UK homes, and properties where standard chair lifts for stairs would block the passageway. The folding seat, armrests and footrest all fold away automatically when not in use, keeping the staircase clear for other household members.
If your staircase has been identified as difficult for standard stair lifts, our narrow model is the solution to consider.
Electric Stairlifts with Battery Backup
Every stairlift we install is an electric stairlift powered via a standard UK mains socket and kept charged via a rail-mounted charging point. All models include a battery backup system, which means your stair lift continues to operate normally during a power cut. You will never be stranded between floors.
How Much Does a Stairlift Cost in the UK
Stairlift prices in the UK vary depending on the staircase type. Straight stairlifts are the most affordable home stairlift option starting from £1,495. Curved and custom stairlifts are priced based on your specific staircase and the features you need. Our advisor will confirm the exact cost during the free survey.
VAT Relief Available
VAT relief is available if you have a disability or a long-term illness affecting your mobility. This can significantly reduce the overall cost of your home stairlift. Adapt A Home will provide the VAT exemption form and confirm your eligibility at the survey stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm struggling to get up and down the stairs safely, is a stairlift the right solution?
Yes, a stairlift is designed precisely for people who can still walk but find stairs increasingly difficult, painful or unsafe due to age, reduced mobility, arthritis or a health condition. It gives you safe, independent access between floors without climbing a single step and a free home assessment confirms whether it’s the right fit for your home and your needs.
Can a stairlift be fitted to curved, narrow or difficult stairs?
Yes, At Adapt A Home, our team installs curved stairlifts for staircases with bends, turns or intermediate landings and narrow stairlifts for tight Victorian terraces and compact staircases where standard models would block the passageway. Every installation follows a free home survey and next-day installation is available even on curved and narrow staircases.
Another company said my stairs are too difficult for a stairlift, is that true?
Not necessarily. Many standard stairlift companies can only fit straight staircases, but Adapt A Home’s modular ICON UP.Lift system is designed for straight, curved, narrow and spiral configurations, assembled directly on your staircase on-site without waiting for custom-fabricated parts. A free assessment will confirm what’s possible for your home.
Will a stairlift damage my stairs or walls?
No. The ICON UP.Lift rail fixes to your staircase treads, not your walls, so there’s no damage and no structural changes to your home. It’s built and customised on-site in a few hours and the modular rail can be removed and reinstalled somewhere else later if your needs change – or you move home.
Will a stairlift work during a power cut?
Yes, every stairlift Adapt A Home installs includes a battery backup system, so it continues to operate normally during a power cut and you will never be stranded between floors. The battery recharges automatically via the rail-mounted charging point whenever the lift is parked.
How much does a stairlift cost and is VAT relief available?
Straight stairlifts currently start from £1,495, with curved and narrow models priced individually based on your staircase. VAT relief is available for customers with a disability or long-term health condition that affects mobility, which can significantly reduce the overall cost, eligibility is confirmed at the free survey stage.
How quickly can a stairlift be installed?
Straight stairlifts are typically fitted in 2 to 4 hours, with next-day installation available after your free home survey. Curved stairlifts may take a full day to install due to the more complicated assembly, but next-day installation is still available on most curved models, making Adapt A Home one of the fastest stairlift installers in the UK.
Can I rent a stairlift instead of buying one?
Yes, short and long-term straight stairlift rental arrangements are available for situations where buying isn’t the right option, such as temporary recovery or trial periods. Contact our team on 020 8191 3247 to discuss rental availability and terms for your situation.
What happens to the stairlift if I no longer need it or move house?
The modular ICON UP.Lift rail system can be removed cleanly from your staircase without causing damage to stairs or walls and it can be reinstalled in a new property if required. Contact the team to discuss removal or reinstallation options when your circumstances change.
What warranty and aftercare comes with a stairlift?
Every stairlift includes a 1-year comprehensive warranty covering parts and labour, with a built-in remote diagnostic function that flags faults automatically before they cause a breakdown. Extended servicing plans are available beyond the first year and our team is on hand for ongoing support across the UK.
