For many, a stairlift is the key to independence, enabling them to stay safe and comfortable at home. When stairs become a daily struggle, the right stairlift can remove that barrier entirely, restoring confidence and making every floor of the house accessible once more.
At Simply Stairlifts, we have handpicked a range designed to suit every type of staircase – from simple straight runs to complex curved layouts, and everything in between. Whether you live in a modern property or a period house, there is a solution that will fit seamlessly and provide lasting peace of mind.
Unlike many stairlift companies tied to a single manufacturer, we are fully independent. This means we can recommend the stairlift that genuinely suits your specific needs, rather than pushing one brand or model. Our focus is always on the highest-quality option tailored just for you.
Each stairlift in our range is crafted with you in mind – focused on reliability, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. Explore our collection below to find the perfect match for your home and needs.

“We have had nothing but complete satisfaction from your company! Both Brian with the competent assessment of all our problems enabling us to have the lift which suited our needs best. Followed then by Jack who was efficient and so comfortable to have in our home when he installed our chairlift which had arrived on time and is allowing my husband the freedom of upstairs again. Guiding us carefully through it’s use, and not treating us as idiots! Would highly recommend you to anyone, your service and help second to none. Thank you.”

Straight stairlifts are the most common and most affordable option, designed for staircases without bends, curves, or intermediate landings. Installation is straightforward, and the lift can usually be fitted within a few hours.
Prices for new straight stairlifts typically range between £1,500 and £4,500, depending on the model chosen and any optional features, such as powered swivels or folding footrests. For those on a tighter budget, reconditioned straight stairlifts are available from £1,000 to £3,000, offering excellent value while still providing full safety and reliability.
Straight stairlifts are ideal for homes where simplicity and practicality are key, and they remain the most popular choice among our customers.
The HomeGlide is a sleek, practical solution for straight staircases, delivering comfort, reliability, and value. Its slim aluminium rail and neutral design allow it to integrate beautifully into your home. Designed for effortless use, the HomeGlide is fitted directly onto your staircase for quick, low-impact installation.
The Handicare 1100 is an ultra-slim, low-maintenance stairlift that combines practicality with style. Its slim rail and compact seat ensure that your staircase remains accessible to other users, while its friction rail system provides a smooth and quiet ride. With continuous charging and durable materials, the Handicare 1100 offers reliability you can count on.
The Platinum Ergo is a reliable, well-built straight stairlift with adjustable arm widths, backrest and seat pads. It comes in two chair configurations: the standard ergo chair suits most users, while the ergo Plus provides additional support for those with shorter legs or limited knee mobility. A powered hinge rail at the base of the staircase folds back automatically when the lift is parked, keeping the hallway clear. The seat, arms, and footrest all fold away too, leaving the staircase accessible for other members of the household.

“Jack and Brian have fitted two stairlifts for our family: one for my parents and then my in-laws. On both occasions these were needed as a matter of urgency and they responded quickly ensuring that they were fitted as soon as possible.
Jack and Brian are highly knowledgeable and offered excellent customer service. They helped us to make the best decisions in each case, one being a bespoke design to ensure it was most effective. After installation, they took the time to explain the controls etc and ensure that my parents and in-laws were confident in using the stair lift.
Jack and Brian offer excellent aftercare and respond promptly to any difficulties. On one occasion when we needed support, they responded swiftly and visited to solve the problem. It has been fantastic to use a smaller family firm who offer such a personalised service and we would not hesitate to recommend them to others.”

Curved stairlifts are bespoke solutions, custom-built to fit staircases with bends, turns, or landings. Because each rail needs to be manufactured to precise measurements, curved stairlifts are more expensive than straight models.
Prices for new curved stairlifts generally fall between £3,800 and £12,000, depending on the complexity of the staircase and the features required. Reconditioned curved stairlifts are less common due to their bespoke nature, so exact pricing can vary.
Curved stairlifts are the perfect solution for homes with unique layouts, ensuring that every part of the staircase can be navigated safely and comfortably.
The Flow X combines advanced engineering with contemporary design to provide unmatched versatility. With its unique Advanced Swivel and Levelling (ASL) technology, the Flow X can rotate during travel, allowing it to navigate even the narrowest curved staircases with ease. Designed by Pearson Lloyd, the Flow X is as stylish as it is functional.
The Otolift Modul-Air Smart sets the standard for compact elegance. Featuring the world’s slimmest single rail at just 6cm, it is designed for narrow and steep staircases while remaining visually unobtrusive. Its ergonomic seat and quiet operation make every journey effortless, while advanced technology ensures smooth motion and exceptional safety.
The Platinum Ergo curved is hand-assembled and built specifically for your staircase. Every rail is made to measure, covering the full range of configurations, including L-shaped and U-shaped stairs, intermediate landings, and awkward start or finish points. With a 160kg / 25st weight capacity, it handles more than most curved stairlifts on the market. The lift features adjustable arm widths, backrest and seat pads. Like the straight version, it offers the choice of the standard ergo chair or the ergo Plus for users with knee or leg mobility issues.
The Platinum Ergo Ultimate is the most fully specified model in the Platinum range. The rail is designed with First Step Start technology, meaning it does not extend into the hallway at the base of the stairs. The powered swivel seat rotates automatically as the lift arrives at the top and bottom positions, removing the need to manually turn before getting off. The footplate folds and unfolds at the press of a button. Like the Platinum Ergo model, it features adjustable arm widths, backrest and seat pads. The lift also includes Platinum’s uCare monitoring system, which uses a mobile network connection to send real-time alerts by email about usage, faults, and upcoming maintenance, without the need for Wi-Fi or a phone line.

“I rang this company based on a recommendation and spoke to a lovely man named Brian. Brian outlined the installation process and costs and swiftly visited my parents the next day to meet them and take measurements of their staircase. Brian is polite, fun and communicates well and it was a pleasure to meet such a genuine man. His Son Jack came four days later and installed the stairlift for my parents. Jack, who is very much like his father, explained everything in a way that we all understood. He worked methodically, quietly and tidied everything up once the job was finished. He had a laugh with my Mum and put a smile on her face. Again, a lovely man. All in all it was a great no-fuss experience for my parents. We would highly recommend Brian and Jack.”
