Stairlifts can be made to fit any staircase, no matter how awkward they appear. Most staircases are either straight, have a middle landing, or are curved/spiral. In some cases, a customer who has a middle landing can put two stairlifts in, one on the first set of stairs and the other on the second set. We can help you stay in your home and can cater for all types of stairs.
