What should you look for in a stairlift?
Once you’ve made the decision to get a stairlift, the next step is choosing the right model for you.
Peer recommendation
Do you know anybody that owns a stairlift? If so, talk to them – their experience could prove useful. What do they like about their stairlift? What would they change?
Shop around
Ensure you have more than one stairlift quote so you can do a like for like comparison on the complete package, including product features and aftercare services. Choose the right stairlift in your own time.
Professional advice
Make sure that you choose a stairlift manufacturer that has a British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA) accreditation, with OFT Code of Conduct approval. They assure you of the integrity of the company you are dealing and the service you receive.
Another good way of assessment is checking which award and accreditations the stairlift provider may already have.

The BHTA have produced an independent guide to buying a stairlift. Call them on 0207 702 2141 for your free printed copy or visit the BHTA website to download.
