There’s a one-off set-up fee, then a monthly charge for as long as you keep it. The minimum rental is three months.
Brian and Jack Pinchbeck, the father and son who run Simply Stairlifts, measure your stairs and fit the lift themselves. A straight stairlift can go in within a day or two of you saying yes, depending on availability.
Our commitment doesn’t end after installation.

Run by father and son team committed to keeping independent in your home.
If you’re not sure how long you’ll need it, we can price renting and buying side by side when we visit.
At Simply Stairlifts, we want to help you feel independent in your own home. As a guide, the costs are:
The set-up fee covers the survey, fitting and removal at the end of the rental. You pay it when we fit the stairlift, and the monthly charge starts from the first month. With a three-month minimum, the least you’ll pay in total for a straight stairlift is £745.
Curved stairlifts cost more because the rail is made to fit your staircase.
Before you agree to anything, you’ll get a written quote listing every charge, so you know the full cost from the start.
It’s hard to specify how long it takes to install a stairlift because it all depends on the type of staircase, length of the track, and how complex the route is. Most standard stairlifts can be installed in just half a day, so you’ll be enjoying smooth, easy movement around your home in no time.
First, the rail will be attached to the treads of the stairs, then the seat and carriage components will be securely mounted onto the track. Once installed, we’ll connect the stairlift to your home’s power supply, ensuring it operates smoothly and reliably.
Most important is the comprehensive testing procedure and safety checks that our expert stairlift engineers carry out before they sign off the installation. Then they will meticulously clean up any mess they have made in the installation process.
The final step is to make sure that you are 100% happy with your stairlift and fully confident about how to operate it. We give you all the tuition and instruction you need to use the lift and remote control and understand the battery charger. We’ll also show you how to clean and maintain your stairlift equipment.
Our commitment doesn’t end after installation. We’re available 24/7 to answer questions, provide advice, and ensure your stairlift is always working perfectly.

Your monthly payment covers:
If the stairlift stops working, call 01666 822060 at any time of day. We’ll try to sort it over the phone first. If we can’t, we’ll book a visit and bring common parts with us, so we can usually fix it the first time.
* Manufacturer’s faults only, not user error or accidental damage. Damage from misuse isn’t covered, and if the stairlift comes back in poor condition, there may be a cleaning charge. Please don’t try to repair it yourself: it isn’t safe.
One can usually go in within a day or two of your survey, depending on availability, and fitting takes about half a day. The stairlifts we rent are Acorn, Handicare, Access, Oto, & Platinum.
If your stairs turn a corner, have a winder at the top or a landing partway up, you’ll need a curved stairlift. The rail is measured and made for your staircase alone, which is why it costs more each month and takes longer to arrive.
We’ll measure up at the free survey, tell you which type suits your stairs and give you a timescale for fitting before you decide anything.
A straight stairlift comes out in around an hour. We disconnect the power safely, take down the chair and rail, and take every part away with us. It leaves a few small screw holes in the stairs, which we’ll fill if you’d like us to. Any dents in the carpet fade or clean out over time.
If your plans change before the end of the rental, call us. We can extend it, or you can buy the stairlift and keep it.
A straight stairlift costs £550.00 for the initial installation, then £65.00 per month. Curved stairlifts cost more. You’ll get an exact price after a free survey.
Yes, the minimum rental period is three months. After that you can carry on renting for as long as you need it.
A straight stairlift can usually go in within a day or two, depending on availability. Curved ones take longer, because the rail is made for your stairs.
Yes. They cost more to rent than straight stairlifts and take longer to fit. The minimum rental for a curved stairlift is 3 months.
Call 01666 822060. Our helpline runs 24 hours a day. We’ll try to sort it over the phone first, and if we can’t, we’ll book a visit.
You can rent a stairlift for as long as you require. If you started renting but would rather purchase your stairlift, we can offer fair pricing structures on a case-by-case basis. Contact our team to find out more.
No. It leaves a few small screw holes, which we fill, and dents in the carpet fade or clean out.
Renting costs less on day one. Buying costs more up front, but once it’s paid for, the main ongoing cost is a yearly service.
If you only need a stairlift for a few months, renting is the cheaper choice. Past about 12-18 months, buying usually costs less. Our reconditioned stairlifts start from £1,200 for a straight lift, and new ones from £2,000.
If you decide to keep it, you can buy it outright. We are happy to discuss options with you, so please get in touch.
The NHS doesn’t rent out stairlifts. Your council may help with the cost after a free assessment by an occupational therapist. Read our guide to stairlift grants.
