Our service area includes the historic city of Cambridge, the cathedral city of Ely and the bustling hub of Peterborough, alongside Huntingdon, St Neots and Wisbech.

How much does a stairlift cost in Cambridgeshire?

The cost of a stairlift is generally determined by the shape of your stairs.

At EMS Lifts, the price you are quoted is the price you pay, no hidden extras. Everything from the installation and any supplementary works you may need to ensure the lift fits perfectly to your staircase. We also include our Diamond Care Plan as standard for extra peace of mind.

If you require a temporary solution, rental stairlifts are available from approximately £10 to £15 per week. Final prices depend on your specific staircase layout, the model chosen and any unique installation requirements. For a more detailed breakdown, you can view our guide on Stairlift Cost UK.

Recent stairlift installations in Cambridgeshire

We recently completed a straight stairlift installation in a home in Peterborough, which was fully fitted and operational within 48 hours. In Cambridge, our team fitted a custom curved stairlift to help a resident navigate a staircase with a complex turn. Additionally, we supplied a reconditioned stairlift to a client in Ely who required a simple, short term solution.

Stairlifts for Cambridgeshire homes

Many properties across Cambridgeshire are perfectly suited to straight stairlifts, particularly the newer builds and semi detached homes where staircase layouts are standard.

In cases where the home features turns, half landings or limited clearance at the bottom of the stairs, we can install curved stairlifts or specialised hinged rail options. These designs are engineered to maximise available space and ensure the stairs remain safe for other household members to use.

What types of stairlifts are available?

Our range is designed to cater to every home and physical requirement. As an independent provider, EMS Lifts Ltd recommends the model that best fits your home’s architecture.

  • Straight Stairlifts: Straight Stairlifts are the most common solution for standard staircases without any bends or landings. They are highly cost effective and use a modular rail system for rapid installation.
  • Curved Stairlifts: Curved Stairlifts are specifically designed for stairs with corners or intermediate landings and feature bespoke rails. Each rail is custom manufactured to match the exact contours of your staircase.
  • Reconditioned Stairlifts: Reconditioned Stairlifts offer a lower cost alternative for those on a budget. We provide pre owned units that undergo rigorous safety testing and multi point inspections to ensure they meet modern standards.
  • Rental Stairlifts: Rental Stairlifts are an excellent choice for short term recovery or temporary living situations. This option allows you to access mobility technology without the upfront cost of a permanent purchase.
  • Heavy Duty Models: Heavy Duty Models are available for users who require a higher weight capacity. These models feature reinforced motors and wider seating to ensure maximum safety and comfort.t.

Can a stairlift fit in my home?

Modern engineering allows us to find a mobility solution for almost any property, regardless of its age or design. A professional home survey is the most reliable way to confirm suitability for your specific stairs.

  • Standard Layouts: Standard Layouts usually provide ample clearance for a lift. These installations are non intrusive and leave plenty of room for other family members to use the stairs normally.
  • Complex Designs: Complex Designs can still accommodate a lift even if your home has narrow stairs, multiple levels or steep gradients. Our curved units are custom built to navigate these obstacles precisely.
  • Compact Models: Compact Models are available where space is at a premium. We offer slimline models with folding seats and footrests to minimise the footprint when the lift is not in use.

How quickly can I get a stairlift in Cambridgeshire?

We recognise that regaining independence is often a matter of urgency, and we strive to provide the fastest response times in the Cambridgeshire area.

  • Straight Stairlifts: Straight stairlifts can often be installed within 24 to 72 hours of your initial inquiry because they use modular rails. This provides an immediate improvement to your independence.
  • Curved Stairlift Manufacturing: Curved stairlift manufacturing requires a detailed design phase to fit your stairs perfectly. Typically, the custom manufacturing and installation process for these systems takes between 1 and 3 weeks.
  • Local Response: Local response is a priority for us. Our Cambridgeshire based surveyors are ready to visit your home at short notice to ensure measurements are taken quickly.
  • Efficient Installation: Efficient installation is guaranteed on the day of the fit. Our engineers work cleanly and quickly, with most installations completed in a few hours, including a full safety demonstration.

What is the best stairlift option?

The ideal choice depends on the balance between your home’s layout, your physical needs, and your long term goals.

  • Straight Stair Solutions: Straight stair solutions are the most practical choice if your staircase has no turns, bends or landings to navigate.
  • Bespoke Curved Rails: Bespoke curved rails are necessary if your stairs feature corners or changes in direction to provide a continuous and safe journey.
  • Temporary Rental: Temporary rental is often the most logical path if your need is only temporary, such as during a post operative recovery period.
  • Reconditioned Value: Reconditioned value is the best way to secure a premium brand at a lower price point if budget is your primary consideration.

Most Commonly Asked Questions

Explore our FAQ section for swift answers to your mobility solution questions, helping you make informed decisions with ease.

Can a stairlift be installed on a very old or narrow staircase?2026-05-07T11:10:13+01:00

Many historic homes in Cambridge and Ely have narrow or steep stairs, but we offer slimline models specifically designed for these layouts. Our surveyor will measure the clearance to ensure the lift fits safely while leaving room for others to use the stairs.

Do stairlifts require a lot of maintenance?2026-05-07T11:09:47+01:00

We recommend an annual service to ensure your stairlift remains in peak condition. Our local Cambridgeshire engineers are available for routine maintenance and can provide quick assistance if you ever encounter a technical issue.

What happens to the stairlift during a power cut?2026-05-07T11:09:19+01:00

Every stairlift we install is equipped with a backup battery system. This ensures that even if the mains power fails in your home, the lift will continue to operate for several journeys so you are never left stranded.

Residents may be eligible for a Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) to help with the costs of home adaptations. You can apply through the Cambridgeshire Home Improvement Agency or your local district council in areas like South Cambridgeshire or Huntingdonshire to find out.
