UK Stairlift Companies Compared: Prices, Warranties and Aftercare
Independent guide. Figures last reviewed October 2026.
A stairlift company is a supplier that surveys, supplies, installs, and maintains stairlifts in residential properties.
Some companies manufacture stairlifts, while others act as installers and resellers.
We compare ten UK stairlift companies on what each one publishes: prices, warranties, reconditioned and rental options, and Trustpilot scores. Only three publish a price for a new stairlift on their own website.
UK Stairlift Companies Compared at a Glance
We compare companies on verifiable facts only. That means whether they make or resell stairlifts, whether they supply new or reconditioned lifts (or both), the types they offer and their UK coverage. We don’t give subjective quality scores, and we don’t rank one brand above another.
Further down, a second table shows what each company publishes itself: prices, warranty terms and Trustpilot scores. We re-check these monthly and show the check date. Warranty terms and pricing vary by model and installer, so always get them in writing. Each full review has more detail.

Every Company Side by Side: Prices, Warranties, Reconditioned, Rental and Response Times
Maker published prices were re-checked on 2 October 2026. Dealer price ranges are from the 20 August 2026 capture. Warranties and Trustpilot scores were checked on 10 September 2026 against each company’s own website and its UK Trustpilot profile.
| Company | Published price | Published warranty | Reconditioned | Rental | Breakdown response | Trustpilot score | In one line |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acorn | Not published; priced by home survey | 12 months as standard; extended cover for a further four years available | None found on its site; it runs a resale scheme that helps owners sell a used Acorn lift privately | Yes, on the Acorn 130 and the Acorn 180 (its curved model); price not published | No time published; help desk 365 days a year, with priority attention on its extended warranty | 4.8 / 5 (11,813 reviews) | The largest Trustpilot review base here, and it rents its own curved model. |
| Age UK | Not published for purchase | 2 years, parts and labour, with one free service | Yes, sold alongside new lifts; price not published | Yes, 1100 straight and 4000 curved: from £80 a month, after an upfront payment of around £1,300 (straight) or £3,000 (curved) that covers installation and the first six months | No time published; 24/7 support line | No stairlift-only profile. 4.8 / 5 (707 reviews) for Age Co across all its products | The one company here we found publishing rental prices. |
| Brooks | Not published | Not published; ask for it in writing | No company scheme published | No company scheme published | Not published; ask the dealer who fits it | No Brooks profile found; sold and installed through the Acorn network | Terms come from the fitting dealer, so get them written into the quote. |
| Companion | From around £2,000 (their figure) | 12 months, parts and labour | Yes, including curved; price not published | Not offered; its own rental guide says so | No time published; 24-hour helpline, and its service plans include call-outs and an annual service visit (prices not published) | 4.7 / 5 (1,170 reviews) | Buy-only, and one of three companies here with a published new-lift price. |
| Dolphin | Not published for new lifts | New lifts: length not published. Reconditioned: 2 years, parts and labour, office-hours service | Yes, several brands including Stannah and MediTek; straight from around £900 | Offered; price not published | No time published; warranty service on reconditioned lifts runs in office hours | No single national profile; reviews sit with each local branch | The lowest reconditioned price we found published, with a two-year warranty on it. |
| Halton | Not published | 24 months on new lifts and 12 on used (servicing page); 12 months on all lifts (warranty page) | Yes, straight and curved; price not published | Yes, straight and curved, no minimum term; price not published | No time published; call-outs on rental lifts are covered Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm | 4.8 / 5 (575 reviews) | Rents curved as well as straight with no minimum term, and advertises next day fitting. |
| Handicare | Not published | Manufacturer’s warranty; length set by your installer | Through Handicare-certified dealers, which its guarantee page names as the only firms qualified to re-fit a used Handicare lift | None found on its site | No time published; dedicated emergency breakdown line | 4.5 / 5 (1,959 reviews) | You buy through an approved installer, who sets the warranty and call-out terms. |
| MediTek | Not published; sold via suppliers | Set by the supplying installer | Sold reconditioned by independent dealers; Dolphin lists one with a 2-year warranty | None published by the brand | Set by the supplier | No UK profile found | A dealer-sold brand, so compare each dealer’s warranty and call-out terms. |
| Stannah | From £3,585 straight, £7,134 curved (their pricing guide) | New lifts: 2 years, with a free service in each year. Reconditioned: 1 year, with one free service | Yes, from £2,831 for a straight Siena, on lifts no more than five years old | Yes, straight or curved; three-month minimum, an upfront payment and then a fixed monthly charge; amounts not published | Typically under 4 hours for an emergency call-out (its service contracts page); 24-hour UK emergency support | 4.7 / 5 (6,933 reviews) | The one company here we found publishing an emergency call-out time. |
| TK Home Solutions | From £1,715 straight, £5,561 curved (their pricing page) | 2 years as standard; optional lifetime parts warranty that stays valid only with a yearly TKE maintenance visit | Yes, straight and curved, with a warranty; price not published | Offered; price not published | No time published; 24/7 customer support | 4.7 / 5 (170 reviews) | The lowest published new-lift from-price here, and the one lifetime warranty option we found. |
Scores are Trustpilot’s, not ours, and we show the review count alongside them because the same score means different things across eleven thousand reviews and across five hundred. Where a cell says ‘not published’, treat that as the finding: most UK stairlift firms only price by home survey, so be wary of any comparison page that prints a tidy price range and star rating for every company. Several of the figures repeated around the web have no published source. Breakdown response is the thinnest column in the table: Stannah is the only one of the ten we found putting a figure on an emergency call-out, so ask every company what it will commit to in writing.
TK Home Solutions’ own pages also disagree with each other: its pricing page says straight lifts start from £1,715 while its product page says from £2,100, and its pricing page says those prices include a lifetime warranty that its warranty page makes conditional on a yearly TKE maintenance visit. Dolphin’s figures come from dolphinlifts.co.uk; Dolphin branches trade locally and their terms can differ. Brooks’ own website did not load when we checked, so nothing in its row comes from Brooks itself. Whichever company you choose, get the price and the warranty term in writing before you sign.
Finance isn’t in the table because few of these companies publish any terms. When we checked in September 2026, Halton Stairlifts and TK Home Solutions mentioned finance on their websites.
We found no finance offer on the sites of Acorn, Stannah, Handicare, Age UK Mobility, Brooks, Companion or Dolphin. Our guide to paying for a stairlift monthly compares finance and rental terms across 26 UK suppliers.
Correction, 5 September 2026: our 4 September check recorded Stannah as publishing no prices. Stannah’s own pricing guide does publish from-prices, and the Stannah row above now shows them.
Correction, 10 September 2026: our earlier checks recorded Halton’s warranty length as unpublished. Halton’s servicing page states 24 months on new stairlifts and 12 months on used ones (its warranty page says 12 months on all lifts), and the Halton row now shows it. The same check found rental advertised by six of these ten companies, and the verdicts below have been updated to match.
Which Stairlift Company Is Best? Verdicts by Situation
There’s no single best stairlift company in the UK, and we don’t rank one above the rest. What we can do is read the published evidence in the table above. From that, we say who leads on each of the things readers ask us about.
Every verdict names its criterion and its source, so you can check it yourself. Where a cell says ‘not published’, you can still ask the company directly. Just get the answer in writing.
Verdicts drawn on 10 September 2026 from the table above and from each company’s own published pages. They change only when the published facts change.
Best for a curved staircase: Stannah
If your staircase turns, Stannah publishes more about curved lifts than anyone else in our table. Its page for stairs with turns lists four models on a made-to-measure rail: Siena, Starla, Sadler and Joya. Each rail is assembled and tested before installation.
Its pricing guide states curved lifts from £7,134, with a two-year warranty and two free services. Acorn also builds its own curved lift, the 180, in its UK factories. Ask both to survey your stairs. Read our Stannah review.
Best for a quick installation: Acorn
Acorn publishes the most about speed. It advertises next day installation and says a home survey takes about an hour. It builds its stairlifts in UK factories and fits them to the stair treads instead of the wall. That’s what makes short lead times possible on straight staircases.
Halton also advertises next day fitting on a range of straight and curved lifts. A curved rail still has to be made to measure, though. Ask what next day covers for your staircase before you plan around it. Read our Acorn review.
Best published warranty: Stannah
Stannah’s standard warranty includes the most: two years, with a free service in each of those years. Age UK also gives two years parts and labour, with one free service, on its Handicare-supplied lifts. Halton’s own pages give both 24 months and 12 months for a new lift.
TK Home Solutions gives two years as standard. It also offers a lifetime parts warranty, but that stays valid only while TKE carries out a yearly maintenance visit. Weigh the cost of those visits against the cover.
Acorn and Companion publish 12 months, and several companies publish no term at all. Whoever you buy from, get the warranty term written into the quote itself.
Best Trustpilot score across the most reviews: Acorn
Acorn holds 4.8 out of 5 from more than 11,800 reviews, the highest score in the table and much the largest review count; we re-checked it on 10 September 2026. Halton matches the 4.8, though from a few hundred reviews, so the two scores carry different weight. Both are linked in the table above if you want to read the reviews themselves.
Best for published prices: TK Home Solutions
Only three of these companies publish a price for a new stairlift on their own website. TK Home Solutions publishes the lowest and the most detailed. Its pricing page lists straight S100 lifts from £1,715, curved S200 lifts from £5,561 and custom curved rails from £5,972.
Its product page says from £2,100, though, a discrepancy we flag above. Stannah publishes from £3,585 straight and £7,134 curved. Companion says prices can start at around £2,000.
Treat a from-price as a starting figure. Nobody can give you a reliable price for your staircase until they’ve measured it. Read our TK Home Solutions review.
Best for renting or buying reconditioned: Age UK and Stannah
Age UK is the one company here we found publishing rental prices. It charges from £80 a month on its 1100 straight and 4000 curved lifts. Before that comes an upfront payment of around £1,300 or £3,000, covering installation and the first six months.
Stannah publishes the most detail on reconditioned lifts: from £2,831 with a one-year warranty and one free service, on lifts no more than five years old. Dolphin quotes a lower reconditioned figure on its own site. That’s around £900 for a straight lift with a two-year warranty and office-hours service.
Six of the ten companies advertise rental. Halton rents curved as well as straight with no minimum term, Stannah sets a three-month minimum, and Companion says it doesn’t rent. Our stairlift rental guide covers the rent-or-buy arithmetic.
Four different names across six verdicts is the point: the best stairlift company depends on which criterion matters most in your house. If two criteria pull in different directions, get quotes from both companies and set them side by side.
What Is the Best Stairlift Company in the UK?
There is no single best stairlift company in the UK, because the right choice depends on your staircase type, location, budget, and how much you value aftercare. Below, we compare the most widely recognised UK providers and explain what to look for when choosing.

How to Compare, Check and Choose a Stairlift Company
The company you buy from usually handles the survey, the recommendation, the fitting, the warranty, servicing and repairs. A decent stairlift from a poor company can still be a frustrating purchase, and a reliable company makes the whole process smoother.
Some companies make their own stairlifts. Others fit lifts made by brands such as Stannah, Handicare, Acorn or TK Home Solutions, and some are independent installers. Always check which of these you are dealing with. For a step-by-step checklist, see our guide on how to choose a stairlift company. Weighing up two brands directly? Our head-to-head comparisons cover Acorn vs Stannah, Stannah vs Handicare, Acorn vs Brooks and Acorn vs Handicare.
Stairlift Industry Standards and Certifications
When comparing stairlift companies, it helps to understand the safety standards that apply to stairlifts sold in the UK. All stairlifts should comply with BS EN 81-40, the British and European standard covering powered stairlifts for people with limited mobility. This standard covers design, manufacturing, installation, and ongoing maintenance requirements.
Stairlifts sold in the UK must also carry UKCA marking (which replaced CE marking for the GB market), confirming the product meets essential safety requirements. A reputable company should be able to confirm that its products meet these standards.
Some companies also hold ISO quality management certifications or are members of industry bodies such as the British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA). While membership alone does not guarantee quality, it does indicate a commitment to recognised codes of practice.
If a stairlift company cannot clearly confirm which safety standards its products meet, that tells you something when comparing providers.
How Stairlift Companies Work
Most companies follow the same five stages. The quality of each stage is where they differ, and it decides who you rely on when the lift needs help later.
Initial enquiry
It normally starts with a phone call, a website form or a callback request. Expect a few simple questions about your staircase and the person who will use the lift, including whether the stairs are straight, curved, narrow or split-level. This is a first step, not an assessment.
Home survey
A proper company surveys before giving a final recommendation. The surveyor should measure the staircase, check the space at the top and bottom, and ask about the user and any mobility issues. This matters most for curved stairlifts, because the rail is made to fit the staircase.
Quote and recommendation
After the survey you should get a written quote naming the model, why it suits you, what the price includes, the warranty, and any extras or ongoing service costs.
Installation
Straight stairlifts are often fitted within a few hours. Curved ones take longer because the rail is made to measure. Most stairlifts fix to the stair treads, not the wall, so fitting is usually less disruptive than people expect.
Aftercare
This is where companies differ most: warranty cover, repair support, servicing plans, spare parts and engineer call-outs. A stairlift may be used every day, so support after fitting matters a great deal.
Local vs National Stairlift Companies
Local companies may offer more personal service, with the same surveyor or office team throughout, and quicker call-outs nearby. National companies tend to have larger engineering networks, wider product ranges, more formal service systems and cover if the user later moves house.
Neither is automatically better. A strong local firm can outperform a weak national one, and a well-run national firm can give a better safety net than a small firm with limited capacity. Compare reputation, communication, openness on price and aftercare.
How to Check a Stairlift Company Before You Buy
Read independent reviews
Look at Google reviews, Trustpilot and other platforms, and look for patterns over single reviews. Repeated praise for engineers and response times is a good sign. Repeated mentions of hidden costs, pressure selling or slow repairs are not.
Insist on a survey and a written quote
A final price should not come from a phone call. Ask for the full quote in writing, with the model named and installation, warranty and any call-out or parts conditions stated.
Check service and repairs
Ask how breakdowns are handled, whether call-outs are available outside office hours, how quickly engineers usually attend, and what annual servicing covers.
Look for a clear business presence
A good company has a clear website, contact details and service information. Take extra care if a site is vague and seems built mainly to collect your phone number.
Take your time
Buying a stairlift is a big decision, and a good company will give you time to think. A push for a same-day decision, or a discount that disappears unless you sign now, is usually a bad sign.
When you compare quotes, compare the whole offer: the model, installation, warranty, aftercare, response times, servicing and reviews. The side-by-side table near the top of this page does this for ten national companies, using only what each one publishes, and we re-check it every month.
Questions to Ask Stairlift Companies
Many people accept the first quote they receive without asking enough questions. That can lead to problems later.
When comparing stairlift companies, these are the kinds of questions worth asking:
- Do you provide a free home survey?
- Is the quote fixed in writing?
- Is installation included in the total price?
- What warranty comes with the stairlift?
- What does the warranty actually cover?
- Are servicing plans available?
- How are repairs handled if the stairlift stops working?
- How quickly can an engineer usually attend?
- Is this a new, reconditioned or rental stairlift?
- Are there any ongoing costs after installation?
- What happens if the stairlift is no longer suitable later?
- Can you explain why this model is the best option for this staircase?
The answer matters, but so does the way it is given. Listen for how clearly and honestly the company explains things.
Red Flags to Watch Out For
There are several warning signs that can suggest a stairlift company is not the right choice.
One is high-pressure selling. If the salesperson pushes for an immediate decision, or claims a special discount only applies if you sign today, be careful.
A reluctance to give clear written information is another. If pricing, warranty or service terms feel fuzzy or incomplete, that’s a problem. A third is quoting without a proper survey. Stairlifts need to suit the staircase and the user, and a rushed recommendation without assessment can lead to poor outcomes.
Also be wary of companies that dodge practical questions about aftercare. If they’re vague about repairs and servicing before the sale, things are unlikely to improve afterwards.
Complaints, Guarantees and Contracts
Many buyers do not think about complaint procedures or contract terms until something goes wrong.
It is better to check these before agreeing to buy.
Guarantees and warranties
Ask exactly what’s covered. A stairlift warranty may include parts and labour, but the terms can vary. Some companies may offer a shorter standard warranty with paid extensions available. Others may treat servicing or call-outs as separate extras, outside the main package. Don’t assume two warranties are equal just because they last the same length of time. The detail matters.
Contracts and paperwork
Before signing, make sure the quote and agreement clearly state:
- The product being installed
- The price
- What installation includes
- What the warranty covers
- Whether servicing is separate
- Any cancellation terms
- Any extra charges that could apply later
Complaints handling
Ask what happens if there is a problem. Is there a complaints process? Who do you contact first? How are issues escalated?
A professional company should be able to explain this calmly and clearly.
Your Consumer Rights When Buying a Stairlift
When a stairlift company visits your home to sell you a stairlift, the sale is covered by the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. This gives you a 14-day right to cancel, for any reason. For a stairlift bought in your home, the 14 days usually run from the day the stairlift is delivered to you, not the day you sign. A curved rail made to measure for your staircase may count as goods made to your specifications, which the regulations exclude from the right to cancel, so ask for the cancellation terms in writing before you agree to a curved order.
This is important because many stairlift sales happen during a home visit, and it is easy to feel pressured into a quick decision. Any reputable company should inform you of this right, not try to work around it.
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, any stairlift supplied must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described. If the stairlift develops a fault within the first 30 days, you generally have the right to reject it for a full refund. Between 30 days and six months, the company must be given one opportunity to repair or replace the product.
If you have a dispute with a stairlift company that you cannot resolve directly, you can contact Citizens Advice or your local Trading Standards office for further guidance.
Should You Get More Than One Quote?
In most cases, yes. Getting two or three quotes is usually sensible. It lets you compare pricing, recommendations and service style. You may find one company suggests a different model, explains things much more clearly or offers better aftercare. Too many quotes can get confusing. Relying on only one, though, can leave you with no real benchmark.
Are the Cheapest Stairlift Companies the Best Value?
Not always. The cheapest quote may be perfectly fine, but it may also cut corners on service, warranty or support. A lower price can sometimes reflect a more limited product range, weaker aftercare or shorter cover.
Value is about what you get for the money, and how well the company supports you after the lift is fitted. The upfront price alone doesn’t tell you that. For a product that may be used every day, reliability and support can easily outweigh a small short-term saving.
How Much Do UK Stairlift Companies Typically Charge?
Stairlift pricing varies considerably between companies, and the final cost depends on the type of stairlift, the layout of your staircase, and what is included in the package.
As a general guide, from the published prices on our price index:
- Straight stairlifts typically cost £1,500 to £3,500 fitted for a new installation, with a median advertised price of £1,995. See our full guide to straight stairlift costs.
- Curved stairlifts are more expensive because the rail is custom-made. Prices typically run from £4,000 to £7,000 for a single bend and can reach £10,000 for complex staircases. See our curved stairlift costs guide.
- Reconditioned stairlifts can reduce costs, particularly for straight staircases. See our guide to reconditioned stairlift prices.
- Stairlift rental may suit people who need a stairlift temporarily or want to avoid a large upfront cost. See stairlift rental options.
Prices shown are indicative guides, not quotes. Final costs always depend on a home survey. VAT relief at 0% is available for eligible disabled people, which can reduce the total cost. See our full stairlift prices guide for more detail.
If you are concerned about affordability, you may also be eligible for a stairlift grant through the Disabled Facilities Grant or other local authority funding.
Stairlift Company FAQs
How many stairlift companies should I contact?
Two or three is usually enough to compare price, service and recommendations without making the process too messy.
Are stairlift company surveys free?
Many stairlift companies offer free home surveys, although you should always confirm this before booking.
Are all stairlift companies the same?
No. They can differ quite a lot in product range, honesty, aftercare, engineer coverage and the way they handle repairs.
Should I trust a quote given over the phone?
Treat it as a rough guide only. A proper home survey is usually needed before you rely on any final recommendation.
Do stairlift companies offer rental and reconditioned options?
Some do, but not all. Of the ten companies in our comparison table, six advertise rental (Acorn, Age UK, Dolphin, Halton, Stannah and TK Home Solutions) and Companion says it does not rent. Six also sell reconditioned lifts directly, though only Stannah and Dolphin publish a reconditioned price.
Is a local stairlift company better than a national one?
Sometimes, but not always. Local companies may feel more personal, while national providers may have broader support systems. Compare the actual service rather than the label.
What matters most when choosing a stairlift company?
Clear advice, suitable product recommendations, written pricing, strong aftercare and no pressure selling.
