We hear a lot of questions about stairlifts, one of the most common is ‘can stairlifts be fitted to any stairs?’. The short answer is yes – normally fitting a stairlift to any kind of stairs is possible.

Once attached to the stairs you can find solutions for straight, curved and outdoor staircases in almost any type of property. Stairlifts have been in use since the early 1900s – and people have been helped by versions of stairlifts since mediaeval times – so they are very versatile.
