The Bespoke Solution for Stairs With Bends, Landings & Curves
Custom-built Stannah 260 curved stairlifts — expertly installed by your local Bootle team.
A curved stairlift is the right choice for any staircase that isn’t a single straight flight — whether you have bends, mid-landings, half-turns, U-turns or spiral stairs. Unlike a straight stairlift (which uses a standard rail), a curved stairlift is built with a custom-manufactured rail that follows the exact contours of YOUR staircase, ensuring the smoothest, safest ride from top to bottom.
At A.C. Stairlifts, we specialise in reconditioned Stannah 260 curved stairlifts — widely regarded as the UK’s most reliable and best-engineered curved stairlift model. By choosing reconditioned, you save thousands compared to buying new (new Stannah 260 models can cost £4,500-£6,500+), without compromising on safety, comfort or warranty. Every reconditioned 260 we install comes with a brand-new custom rail manufactured to fit your staircase exactly, and a full 12-month warranty.
Based in Bootle, Merseyside, our local engineers can survey your staircase quickly, design and order your bespoke rail, and complete a professional installation within 1-2 weeks. We cover Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley, Wirral and the wider North West — including Manchester. Call 0151 314 4884 for an instant chat about your staircase.

What Our Customers Say
70+ five-star reviews on Google. Here’s a small sample.
“Excellent service from A.C. Stairlifts. The Stannah 260 they fitted on our curved staircase is whisper-quiet and feels brand new. Engineer was friendly, neat and quick. Couldn’t recommend more highly.”
Paul Brewer
Bootle, Merseyside
“We needed a curved stairlift to navigate the bend in our Edwardian semi. Custom rail looks seamless, the install team were superb, and the price was thousands less than we’d been quoted elsewhere for a new one. Quality reconditioned Stannah.”
John Owen
Crosby, Merseyside
“Friendly, honest, professional family business. Got us the right curved stairlift quickly and the aftercare has been first-class. Stannah 260 is a brilliant lift — and we saved a fortune going reconditioned.”

Curved Stairlifts — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about buying a curved stairlift in Liverpool, Merseyside or the wider North West.
How much does a curved stairlift cost in Liverpool & Merseyside?
Reconditioned Stannah 260 curved stairlifts start from £2,500 fully installed, including a brand-new custom rail and a 12-month warranty. The exact price depends on the complexity of your staircase (number of bends, length, landings) and any optional extras. For comparison, a brand-new Stannah 260 typically costs £4,500-£6,500+ — by choosing reconditioned, you typically save £2,000-£3,500 without compromising on safety, comfort or warranty. Call 0151 314 4884 for an accurate quote.
How long does it take to get a curved stairlift fitted?
Most curved stairlift installations take 2-4 weeks from initial survey to fully installed. The reason it takes longer than a straight stairlift is because your custom rail must be manufactured to the exact dimensions of your staircase — this takes 2-4 weeks. Once the rail is ready, the actual installation in your home takes around 4-6 hours.
What is a Stannah 260 and why do you only supply that model?
The Stannah 260 (also known as the Stannah Sadler/Solus) is the UK’s most popular and most reliable curved stairlift model. Stannah has been manufacturing stairlifts in Britain since 1975, and the 260 is their flagship curved model — proven, premium-engineered, and widely supported. By specialising in this one model, our engineers are absolute experts in its installation, servicing and repair — and you get the gold-standard curved stairlift at a reconditioned price.
Why choose reconditioned rather than buying new?
Reconditioned Stannah 260s are returned units that our engineers have fully refurbished and tested to Stannah’s manufacturer specification. They typically save customers £2,000-£3,500 versus buying new, and come with the same 12-month warranty. Most importantly, the rail itself is brand-new and custom-manufactured to your staircase regardless of whether the carriage is new or reconditioned — so the install looks and feels like new. See our reconditioned stairlifts page for more.
Will a curved stairlift fit my staircase?
Yes — almost certainly. The Stannah 260 has been fitted on every kind of staircase, including half-turns, U-turns, mid-landings, quarter-bends, spiral stairs, and even narrow Victorian terraces. The rail is custom-manufactured for each install, so it follows the exact shape of your stairs. Our engineer will confirm during your free home survey.
What is the maximum user weight on a curved stairlift?
The Stannah 260 has a maximum user weight of 21 stone (140 kg / 308 lbs). For heavier users we can advise on alternative models — call 0151 314 4884 for guidance.
Are reconditioned curved stairlifts as safe as new?
Yes. Every Stannah 260 we supply is fully refurbished, tested and certified to manufacturer specification by our engineers before installation. All safety features are identical to a new lift: seat belt, edge sensors, key-operated on/off, soft start/stop, emergency stop and battery backup. Plus you get the same 12-month warranty as new.
Do you remove old stairlifts?
Yes. Stairlift removal is included with every new installation when applicable. We may also pay cash for qualifying older models. See our stairlift removals page for full details.
Do curved stairlifts work in a power cut?
Yes. The Stannah 260 is battery-powered, with batteries that automatically charge at both ends of the rail. In a power cut, the lift continues to work for many trips before recharging is needed — so you’re never stranded between floors.
What areas do you cover?
We’re based in Bootle, Merseyside, and cover the whole of Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley, Wirral and the wider North West — including Manchester. See the areas grid above or call 0151 314 4884 to check your postcode.
