Local knowledge matters

Cheshire's housing is diverse, and stairlift installations vary with it.

🏠 Victorian and Georgian townhouses

Chester, Knutsford and parts of Macclesfield have heritage properties with narrow, winding staircases. We know which stairlift models fit best without damaging original features.

🏠 Detached suburban homes

Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and Bowdon have substantial detached homes with generous staircase space. Curved stairlifts are common here, and we're used to servicing them.

🏠 Rural cottages and converted barns

The Cheshire countryside is full of rural properties with unusual staircase layouts. We can advise on straight, curved, or bespoke installations.

🏠 New builds

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

Bought your stairlift through a Cheshire 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 Cheshire East Council or Cheshire West and Chester 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 Cheshire. 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.

📞 Cheshire council contacts

If your stairlift was provided directly through a housing association or council tenancy, terms can sometimes be different. Contact your local authority's Home Improvements team for DFG-related enquiries. That's either Cheshire East Council or Cheshire West and Chester Council.
