Most stairlifts are fitted with a safety sensor unit which will detect any obstructions and stop the stairlift from moving, resuming only when the blockage is cleared.
Stairlifts are powered by mains electricity but this source of power runs through a battery unit before it reaches the motor. In the event of a power cut, the battery will be fully charged and able to power the stairlift unit without the need for mains electricity.

Stannah’s Starla and Siena ranges have a maximum weight capacity of 25st. It is recommended that you do not exceed the weight of this limit.
Making this decision is completely down to how you feel but there are some signs that may indicate that you need a stairlift such as
- Are you are taking more than five minutes to climb a standard length staircase?
- Are experiencing lightheadedness, wheezing or are exhausted by the time you reach the top.
- Have suffered a fall due to balance problems or deteriorated eyesight.
It’s important to realise that stairlifts are a way of protecting your wellbeing and preventing potentially fatal accidents.
Each new Stannah stairlift comes with a two-year comprehensive warranty, while reconditioned stairlifts come with a 12-month warranty. Rental stairlifts include servicing and maintenance call-outs for the duration of the agreed rental period.

Our engineers will always aim to cause the least disruption when fitting your stairlift and as Stannah lifts are not attached to the wall, we can often avoid the requirement to remove handrails. For individual cases, our assessors will advise on whether or not removal of any handrails is needed, prior to discussing any no-obligation quote.
As all our stairlifts are attached to the tread of the stairs and not the wall, there’s no need to worry about your wall supporting its weight.
