Quick Answer: How Much Do Stairlifts Cost?

The cost of a stairlift can vary and ultimately depends on whether you are seeking to purchase a reconditioned or brand-new stairlift. 

Here at A.C. Stairlifts, we aim to provide affordable, reliable stairlift solutions for every budget, without compromising on safety or comfort. 

Below are general cost guides of what you can expect in the industry:

• Reconditioned Straight Stairlifts: From just £950 including installation
• New Straight Stairlifts: Typically range from £1,800 to £2,500
• Curved Stairlifts: Usually between £3,500 and £5,500 (due to custom rail design)

Now you have an idea about general prices, let’s get into specifics, and cover our very own exclusive prices.

Straight Stairlifts

Straight stairlifts are one of the most common types of stairlifts that we regularly install throughout Liverpool and across the North West. 

Designed for simplicity and ease of use, they serve as excellent options for a wide range of staircase types, including narrow, long, and steep stairs (up to a 55° incline). 

Moreover, they can be installed on either the left or right-hand side of your staircase, depending on what your bespoke requirements and preferences are.

Our Price – Reconditioned Acorn 130 Stairlift – £950

Key features and benefits include:

• Fast installation (typically within 1–3 hours)
• Lower cost than curved stairlifts
• Suitable for narrow, long, or steep staircases
• Fitted to stair treads — no wall damage
• Can be installed on either side of the stairs

Curved Stairlifts 

If you’re seeking a reliable stairlift solution for a curved staircase, of course, you need a curved stairlift. This type of stairlift is highly suitable for navigating stairs with bends, curves, and landings. Matched to meet the exact shape and dimensions of your staircase, you can expect a safe, smooth, and comfortable ride every time.

Our Price – Reconditioned Stannah 260 – £3,200

Key features and benefits include:

• Custom-built rail to match staircases with bends, turns, or landings
• Ideal for multi-flight, spiral, or irregular staircases
• Smooth, comfortable ride with powered swivel seat and soft start/stop
• Space-saving folding seat, arms, and footrest
• Fitted to the stairs – no structural changes or wall damage

Stairlift Costs – What Factors Influence Price?

As mentioned above, the most obvious factor is whether the stairlift is reconditioned or brand-new.

A.C Stairlifts supply and install highly-reliable reconditioned stairlifts, ensuring you get the best value for your money. 

Our reconditioned stairlifts are thoroughly checked and maintained to meet our high standards. With a free 12-month warranty, our reconditioned stairlifts are the perfect option for customers seeking a reliable and cost-effective stairlift solution.

Here are the further factors to consider:

• Type Of Staircase: This is another key factor that can influence the cost of your stairlift. Straight staircases are simpler and less expensive, whereas curved staircases require a custom rail, increasing both time and cost.

• Features & Add-Ons: Options which may include powered swivel seats, folding rails, or heavy duty models can add to the cost, but they enhance usability and comfort during operation. 

• Installation Complexity: Every staircase is unique. If your staircase is narrow, steep, or in a confined space, extra labour or modifications may be required, which can add to the cost.

• Length Of Staircase: Another key influencing factor of cost is the length of your staircase in your home. Longer staircases require longer rails, which can increase material costs and installation time.
