If you no longer need your stairlift, we can remove it safely and cleanly. Whether it's because the previous user has moved out, you're preparing a property for sale, or you're upgrading to a newer model, we'll take care of the whole job. And if your stairlift is in good condition, we'll usually buy it back from you.
There are all sorts of reasons. Whatever yours is, we can help.
Perhaps the stairlift's user has moved into residential care, or sadly passed away. You need the staircase back to normal.
An unwanted stairlift can put buyers off. Removing it often makes a home easier to sell.
If you're replacing an old model with something newer, we can remove the old one at the same time as installing the new.
Sometimes you just want the stairs back to how they were. Simple as that.
Three steps. No hassle.
Give us the make and model (e.g. Stannah 600, Acorn 180, Handicare 2000) and your postcode. We'll give you a clear quote over the phone.
We book a time that suits you. Our engineers safely disconnect the power, dismantle the stairlift, and remove all the parts. If we're buying it, we'll pay you on the day.
We leave the area clean and tidy. Any parts we can't reuse get recycled or disposed of responsibly. No mess left behind.
If your stairlift is modern, well-maintained and in good condition, we'll usually buy it from you.
We refurbish and resell quality used stairlifts, so we're always on the lookout for well-kept models. Popular ones include the Stannah 600, Acorn 130, and Handicare 1100.
What we pay depends on the model, its age, its condition, and whether it's a straight or curved rail. If we buy it back, the removal is usually free or heavily discounted.
If your stairlift isn't quite up to refurbishment standard, don't worry. We still offer our full removal service, so you're never stuck with a stairlift you don't want.
Both are straightforward, but curved rails take a little longer.
Most straight rail removals take around one to two hours. The rail comes out in sections, so it's quick and tidy.
Curved rails, like those on a Stannah 260 or an Acorn 180, usually take two to three hours. Curved rails are bespoke to the staircase, so they need a bit more care coming out.
We work with local authorities across the North West.
If the stairlift was installed through a Council or a Disabled Facilities Grant, the process can be a little different. Sometimes the Council wants the unit back, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they ask for proof of removal.
We've done this plenty of times before, so we know how it works. Just mention it when you call, and we'll handle it properly, including the paperwork if the Council needs anything confirming.
