The cost of a Stairlift & Stairlift Grants …

The cost of a stairlift is most likely one of the top factors you consider when deciding what stairlift to buy. But … there are stairlift grants available.

Buying a new stairlift can be a big decision but also can be one that gives you a lot more freedom in your own home. A stairlift gives you the ability to stay in the home you love for longer, or it can enable you to keep a loved one at home for longer if you are in that position where you may have to consider external care due to mobility issues.

Mobility issues can arise for a number of reasons …

  • as a result of surgery,
  • joint issues,
  • or just getting a little older and finding it a little more difficult to go upstairs.

By installing a stairlift in your home you can restore freedom and safety for anyone struggling with these problems.

If you are living independently but finding it more and more difficult to access your home comfortably,  the great thing about having a stairlift in your home is it can allow you to continue to stay in your own home for longer rather than looking at the possibility of going into a cared-for facility. Mobility Grants are available to help with the cost of Stairlifts and we have prepared a step-by-step guide on how to apply for a Grant for a Stairlift. You can download it instantly and free HERE.

One of the most frequently asked questions we get here at KCH Stairlift is about the cost of a stairlift. 

To estimate the cost of a stairlift, several factors need to be taken into consideration, these include:

  • What kind of staircase do you have in your home?
  • Will you require a straight or curved stairlift? ( Curved stairlifts cost more than a stairlift for a straight staircase.)
  • The location of your staircase is a factor, for example, are there any obstructions at the top or the bottom of the staircase.
  • Are you looking to purchase a new stairlift?
  • Have you considered stairlift rental options?
  • Is there a warranty with the stairlift?
  • Is there a maintenance contract with the stairlift?
  • Or does the company provide stairlift servicing and repairs?
  • and most importantly … do you qualify for a mobility grant to assist you with funding for your stairlift?

So as you can see there are a number of considerations to take into account before you can really get an accurate price for a stairlift, however, it is much more straightforward and cheaper when it is a stairlift for a straight staircase.
