Stair lift maintenance

A stairlift can last for many years if it is well looked after and receives the proper care. While our friendly team of stair lift service and repair engineers are available to help fix any problems you may encounter, there are some things you can do at home to help ensure your equipment continues to run at its optimum performance.

Here are some tips to help keep your stairlift maintained and in top condition:

  • Make sure there isn’t anything blocking the rails on your stairlift.
  • Keep the rails as dust-free as you can by cleaning them with a dry cloth once a week. We also recommend using a hose attachment for a vacuum cleaner, which can get to those hard-to-reach places.
  • If you are a pet owner, make sure the rails are kept clean of pet hair.
  • Don’t let anyone play on the stairlift or with the controls.
  • Don’t exceed the maximum weight limit of the stairlift.
  • Make sure your straight stairlift or curved stairlift is serviced regularly.

It is recommended that stairlifts be serviced every 12 months. If you have a reconditioned stairlift or an older model, then getting it serviced more frequently is recommended, especially if the equipment is used every day.

After the initial 12-month warranty period, stairlift service costs depend on the plan you choose. The standard service plan starts from £270 per year and includes:

  • Repair & replacement of all necessary component parts
  • Call out service
  • 24-hour stairlift service helpline
  • Free annual service inspection
