Like the majority of electro-mechanical devices, we highly recommend that your stairlift be inspected at least once per year. Once the initial warranty period has expired, during which all your servicing needs are covered, we are happy to offer annual service contracts to ensure your stairlift continues to perform at its best for years to come.

Depending on your circumstances, you may find that a local authority can help you meet this cost however, we highly recommend that you contact them first to see if this is something that they are willing to do – as all local authorities have different guidelines and policies.
