- Do you want a brand-new stairlift or a used, reconditioned one?
- The length of your staircase and how long your tailor-made track needs to be

The Prices of Different Types of Stairlifts
There are many different types of stairlifts such as straight and curved stairlifts. Prices will vary among the different stairlift models. For example, curved stairlifts may cost more as they take longer to make and feature custom-made rails.
Straight stairlifts, on the other hand, are often a cheaper option as they are not made with bespoke rails and don’t take as long to make. Both stairlifts are made to fit seamlessly into your home – however, curved stairlifts are made to measure so they fit around any bends or corners.
Curved Stairlifts Prices
Here at Halton Stairlifts, we are a Checkatrade-approved company that provides a wide range of stairlifts such as straight and curved. We understand that not all staircases are straightforward- some have bends, half-landings and turns. This can make curved staircases more challenging than straight ones. We offer curved stairlifts suited to your home. All of our curved lifts are made-to-measure and come with a bespoke track to fit seamlessly onto your staircase.
Curved stairlifts can be costly and relatively more expensive compared to straight stairlifts. This is due to the personalised tracks made for curved staircases and a lot more work is involved when it comes to manufacturing and installation. The average price for a single-flight curved stairlift is around £3,300 to £6,000, which includes the stairlift and installation.
However, if you are interested in a new multi-flight curved stairlift, then you will need an average budget of around £4500 to £8000. Here at Halton Stairlifts, we provide a wide range of stairlifts suited for your home, Some of the curved stairlifts we offer are:
- Signature Curved Stairlift
- Dual Rail Curved Stairlift
- Halton Infinity Curved Stairlift
- Halton Style Curved Stairlift
- Halton Ultimate Curved Stairlift
Straight Stairlifts Prices
Straight Stairlifts are slightly cheaper than curved stairlifts. This is because the tracks aren’t custom-made and therefore the installation time is much quicker compared to curved stairlifts. Straight stairlifts are designed for straight stairs and are one of the most common types of lifts available on the market right now. The average price of a straight stairlift is around £2,500. This type of stairlift is designed for staircases with no bends, half-landings or curves. Here at Halton Stairlifts, we have a variety of straight staircases suited to your home such as:
- Halton Slimline Stairlifts
- Reconditioned Halton Slimline Stairlift
- New Halton Slimline Stairlift
- Halton Heavy Duty Stairlifts
- Halton Sit and Stand Stairlift
- Halton Synergy Straight Stairlift
Our straight stairlifts are ideal, as they cause little to no disruption to your home decor. This is because our straight stairlift rails are fitted to your stairs instead of your walls, so you can rest assured that there will be minimal invasive work in your home. Not only do we provide you with stairlifts, but we also offer stairlift installation to cut out any unnecessary hassle.
All of our engineers are highly qualified and DBS-checked. Due to the amount of experience we have in this industry, it takes us as little as two hours to install your stairlifts!
Reconditioned Vs New Stairlift Prices
New stairlifts have an average cost of £2,245 – £6,000 depending on the company and the type of stairlift. Used or reconditioned stairlifts, however, can cost upwards of £1,695. The stairlift cost for reconditioned lifts is relatively cheaper compared to new lifts as they have been pre-loved. Reconditioned stairlifts are just as reliable as new stairlifts.
Here at Halton Stairlifts, we offer a range of new and used stairlifts suited for you. Each of our reconditioned stairlifts has been thoroughly tested to ensure that they are safe and reliable before they are installed in your home. When you purchase our reconditioned stairlift, not only are you one step closer to gaining that extra bit of freedom, but you are also helping the environment.
