Stairlifts West Midlands

The perceived high cost of stairlifts has inhibited many West Midlands homeowners from purchasing them. Many of these people brave climbing the stairs with painful arthritis or give up the idea of going up and down floors altogether. In this way people have lost access to some parts of their homes. But are stairlifts really as expensive as they seem?

There is no short answer to this question. What your West Midlands home's stairlift will eventually cost is dependent on a number of factors:

State of the stairlift: You can buy stairlifts either brand new or second-hand. A reconditioned, or used, stairlift will obviously be cheaper than a new one but that is not necessarily a statement on its quality. Refurbished stairlifts can run as well as new ones and give you many years of good service.

Length: The longer the staircase in your West Midlands house, the more it will generally cost to fit a stairlift in it. If your staircase has landings, the stairlift will have to curve round them, meaning it will have to be longer, and hence more expensive.
