Reconditioned Stair Lifts - Special Helpline: Freephone 0800 034 0294

Straight rail stairlifts lend themselves to the second-hand and reconditioned market more than do curved rails. This is because most straight rails can easily be shortened or extended to fit a new location (and the chair can be swapped to the other side or "re-handed") whereas curved rails, as mentioned above, tend to have unique specifications. Some manufacturers produce rails for use with an existing carriage and controls, which provides a cheaper option.

The quality of second-hand and reconditioned stairlifts will of course vary greatly, and it can be difficult to find one that will match your particular stairs. It is also worth remembering that maintenance of used lifts and sourcing of replacement parts could be more troublesome. Brand new models often have an advantage in areas such as warranty and breakdown cover, which can only bring peace of mind. However, a reconditioned stairlift from a reputable source, that fits your stairs, will be the less costly option.

Generally there is not a lot of difference between buying a new straight and a reconditioned straight stairlift. Typically a new straight stairlift will be around £350-600 more than a reconditioned straight stairlift. In view of this many people consider it worth their while investing in a new straight stairlift With regard to Curved stairlifts, there can be a much greater price difference between new and reconditioned stairlifts. Typically a new curved lift may be around £1,200-£2,200 more than a reconditioned curved stairlift.
