Local knowledge matters

Bolton's housing is varied, and stairlift installations vary with it.

🏠 Victorian terraces

Central Bolton and Farnworth have many Victorian terraces with narrow, steep staircases. We know which stairlift models fit best.

🏠 1930s semis

Horwich, Westhoughton and Bromley Cross have plenty of 1930s semis with wider, more open staircases. Straight or curved models can both work.

🏠 Stone-built cottages

Bolton's traditional stone cottages, especially in the older villages, often have quirky, angled staircases. We can advise on straight, curved, or bespoke options.

🏠 New builds

Newer developments across the borough often have steeper staircases. We can advise on the right model, or adapt an existing installation.

Bought your stairlift through a Bolton Council DFG?

Here's what happens after the first year, and what your options are.

If your stairlift was funded through a Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) from Bolton Council, the grant usually covers the initial 12-month manufacturer warranty only. After that, the stairlift becomes your property and ongoing servicing and repairs are your responsibility.

This isn't unique to Bolton. It's how most UK councils work. Their budgets cover the assessment and installation of adaptations, but rarely extend to long-term servicing.

Your options after year one

📅 Independent service contract

We offer annual service plans that cover scheduled maintenance and priority emergency call-outs. Usually cheaper than a manufacturer's extended warranty.

💰 VAT relief on repairs

If you're chronically sick or disabled, you're usually eligible for 0% VAT on stairlift repairs and servicing. We'll provide the VAT exemption form for you to complete.

🤝 Charitable assistance

If you're facing financial hardship, organisations like Turn2us and local charities can sometimes provide small grants for essential home equipment.

📞 Bolton Council DFG contact

If your stairlift was provided directly through a housing association or council tenancy, terms can sometimes be different. Contact Bolton Council's Adult Social Care team for DFG-related enquiries, or give us a ring and we'll point you in the right direction.
