This is especially useful when trying to explain over the phone to a Stairlift engineer exactly what has happened or gone wrong with the lift. Using these informative codes enables the Stairlift engineer to quickly … [Read more...]
Hinckley Stairlifts
We regularly get enquiries for Hinckley Stairlifts as it's local to us. We received a call this week from a lady looking for a Stairlift in Hinckley but wasn't sure which would be more suitable.

I told her about our stairlift rental scheme for Hinckley stairlifts where after installation there was a simple monthly charge … [Read more...]

Stairlift Removal
Stairlift Removal Today we did a Stairlift removal on an Acorn straight Stairlift from an upstairs flat in Coventry, Warwickshire. I was contacted by a family member who informed me that it was no longer needed. He found our website which lists removals as just one of the Stairlift services that we provide. Normally we buy unwanted used stairlifts if they are less than 5 years old. They must be in good working order with a service history. Although the Acorn Stairlift was in very good … [Read more...]

Bison Bede Compact
Bison Bede Compact The Bison Bede Compact straight stairlift was a very popular stairlift around 2003. It remained there for many years until Bison Bede were bought out by Acorn Stairlifts and consequently closed down.

It was one of the first straight stairlifts that could correctly call itself 'Slimline' in design. Using a knife edge style of rail, it was … [Read more...]
