Stairlift Fitting Process – A Step-By-Step Guide

When considering the installation of a stairlift, the initial step in the process is a crucial home visit or survey. This phase allows the stairlifts company to understand your unique requirements, mobility level, and the specific design and measurements of your stairs. To ensure a perfect fit, general details such as weight, height, and even-handedness may be requested.

This article will walk you through the meticulous process, debunking common concerns and showcasing how modern stairlift solutions are adaptable to almost every staircase design.

A Step-By-Step Guide

1. Tailored Assessments for Every Need: During the home visit, a well-trained EMS Lifts professional will conduct a thorough assessment of your needs. They may offer a demonstration in the UK’s largest stairlift showroom, providing literature and samples of rail or seat covers. With over 30 years of experience, these experts are ready to address any lingering questions about the installation process.
2. Understanding Your Mobility: The surveyor will enquire about your dominant hand and ask you to describe any current mobility challenges. This information helps establish your degree of movement, ensuring the stairlift solution is customised to enhance your daily life.
3. Precision in Stairway Layout Analysis: After noting your specific needs, the surveyor meticulously examines the layout of your stairway, checking for any special requirements. For instance, if the staircase end is close to a door frame, a hinged track may be recommended. This track, when not in use, can be flipped back to prevent obstruction. Such considerations are routine and easily addressed.
4. Bespoke Solutions: Since all stairlift systems are essentially made to measure, the collected information is used to tailor a solution that matches your individual requirements. The result is a proposal and a detailed quote for your specific job, ensuring transparency and a clear understanding of the entire process.
5. Efficient Construction and Fitting: Once you approve the proposed plans, the stairlift is constructed to meet your specifications. After rigorous testing, the company will schedule a fitting date that suits your convenience, with some installations completed in as little as a few days.
