Local knowledge matters

Preston and Chorley have varied housing, and stairlift installations vary with it.

🏠 Victorian terraces

Central Preston, Fulwood and parts of Chorley have Victorian terraces with narrow, steep staircases. We know which stairlift models fit best.

🏠 1930s semis

Penwortham, Bamber Bridge and Leyland have plenty of 1930s semis with wider, more open staircases. Straight or curved models can both work.

🏠 Rural properties

Longridge, Garstang and the villages around Preston have rural properties with unusual staircase layouts. We can advise on straight, curved, or bespoke options.

🏠 New builds

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

Bought your stairlift through a Preston or Chorley 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 Preston City Council or Chorley 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 Preston or Chorley. 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.

📞 Preston and Chorley 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 Preston City Council or Chorley Council.
