Why choose a local stairlift firm?

We’re an independent stairlift company with the personal touch. We survey, install, service and maintain all of our stairlifts ourselves. So when you call us, we know you by name. No call centres, no hard sell, just genuine personal service, start to finish.

We’re just an hour away, at most

As your local supplier, our lovely customers are all within a hour’s drive of our base here in Chichester. So when you call to arrange a home survey and free no obligation quotation, we’ll be with you very shortly! (And it will be us, not a “representative” who doesn’t know Brighton from Bolton!)
HomeGlide Extra stair lift

Straight stairlifts

Ideal for houses with straight staircases from hall to landing, with no turn at the top! Same-day installation and easy maintenance too. We've installed these in Parkland and at the new developments in Graylingwell and Roussillon.

Chichester District has the highest proportion of larger detached homes in West Sussex, so we have lots of experience installing stairlifts in Summersdale homes, as well as larger properties on the seafront at the Witterings, for example.
Flow-X Stair lift

Curved Stairlifts

An elegantly engineered stairlift customised for your home, for curvy, awkward, narrow or tight staircases. The elegant design and low profile of our Flow X solution is especially suited to the historic homes in the centre of the city including the gracious Georgian Grade II townhouses in the Pallant area.

The Flow X system curved stairlift is also very suitable for the tighter staircases and landings of Chichester's 27% of semi-detached houses and 22% of terraced houses. The stylish looks and space-saving folding design are also ideal for Chichester's 1930s detached homes, especially as all our stairlifts are secured to the staircase, not to the wall.

Stairlift Servicing & Repairs

Our Urgent Repair Service is available where stairlifts are not responding to controls. We will respond promptly within three hours but usually under two hours to locations in the Sussex and Borders area.

We provide repairs, annual service inspections and battery replacement services for most brands. Please contact us with your requirement to schedule a convenient appointment.

Repair pricing
If we can't repair we won't charge you. Replacement parts, if required, may include the offer of pre-owned or new parts with short and longer warranty cover.

Very professional company. Hugh recently fitted a stairlift ... on the day promised, even though it was a tricky install. Would highly recommend their services.
