Enjoy the Benefits of a Reliable Staircase Lift When You Need It the Most

1. Enjoy the Benefits of a Reliable Staircase Lift When You Need It the Most The average age for citizens of the UK is on the increase. In general, people are getting much older, yet age still has a way of putting restrictions on your mobility and life. One such restriction is to make it more challenging to get from one storey in your home to the next. The result is that over the past two decades, the need for stairlifts in homes in the UK has increased ten times. The current situation means that a quality and sturdy stairlift can change your life, it gives you the freedom of movement and becomes a valuable asset in many homes across the country. Yet, before committing to such an investment, there are certain factors you should keep in mind. Andrew Lewis, director of Associated Stairlifts, one of the leaders in stairlift installation services in the UK, gave us some pointers which first-time buyers should consider. The first and foremost aspect which their team would consider is the space surrounding the area where they need to install the stairlift. The available space would raise questions whether you would be able to get in and out of the chair on your own or if you would need assistance. If you do need assistance, you need to keep in mind that you would need more space for the person to be able to assist you. You might be the only person using the stairs, but more often it is the case that others share in the foot traffic of the specific staircase. In that case, it is better to opt for an option with a folding chair to enable others to get up and down without any obstacles in their way. One such an option is the Hammer Pinnacle Premium, which folds down to a mere 25 cm in width. It is the narrowest option you’ll find on the market. The shape of the staircase is by no means a limiting factor, yet it is a price influencing consideration. Straight staircases are mostly all the same and offer an obstruction-free track, keeping the costs of installation to a minimum. Once staircases have curves or platforms, they have unique features which require bespoke designs and adjustments. These elements are possible but do increase the cost of installation. Durability and strength are both vital to have the confidence to use your lift with peace of mind that you’ll have a secure trip up and down. Associated Stairlifts stock a wide range of different options and trusted brands each with a maximum weight limit. It is best to never exceed the max capacity. Maybe your need for a stairlift is temporary as it could be due to an injury or recovery from illness or surgery. In these cases, there is no need for complete investment into the installation of a system. Lewis and his trusted team offer a rental solution. Until recently they, like most other suppliers offered the rental option only for straight staircases. It is fortunately no longer the case as their team is very excited to announce that they offer rental solutions for curved staircases as well.

2. These are all fantastic tips to keep in mind pre-installation, but what do you do when you no longer need the device in your home? The solution to that is simply to sell it. There are service providers such as Associated Stairlifts who will take the system off your hands at a market-related price. Their engineers will remove the entire system from your home, refurbish it and re-sell it as a conditioned system to someone else. It is how they make purchasing such a system more affordable when a new system is too exuberant for your budget.
