Cheltenham is a Regency spa town of around 120,000 people, and much of its housing reflects that period, from grand terraces near the centre to smaller homes on the edges of town. Staircases in these older properties are often steep, narrow, or fitted with an awkward turn, which is rarely a problem until it suddenly is.
Whether your mobility has changed gradually or after an illness, injury, or fall, we help people across Cheltenham stay in the homes they love by making every floor reachable again. We’re a friendly, family-run business with a five-star reputation, built on honest advice and installations that are done properly the first time.
If you’re searching for stairlifts near me or weighing up local options, we cover Cheltenham and the surrounding towns and villages, including:
We install new stairlifts in Cheltenham as well as more affordable options for those working to a tighter budget. If the cost of a new stairlift is a concern, you can choose a reconditioned model or hire a stairlift in Cheltenham for as long as you need it.
We offer the full range in Cheltenham:
As a rough guide, reconditioned straight stairlifts in Cheltenham start from around £1,200, while a new curved stairlift can run to around £5,200. Every quote comes from a free home survey, so the actual price for your staircase will sit somewhere on that scale.
Modern stairlifts handle far more of these layouts than most people expect. We supply and install:
During your home survey, we’ll tell you exactly what will and won’t work in your property, and why.
If your stairlift stops working, call us. We can often talk you through a fix over the phone, and if not, we’ll get an engineer to you as a priority. We also service and repair stairlifts in Cheltenham that we didn’t originally supply, so switching to us doesn’t mean waiting for a new installation first.
A well-maintained stairlift typically lasts around 10 years. Regular servicing is what gets you there safely, catching wear before it turns into a breakdown.
The cost of a stairlift varies depending on whether your staircase is straight or curved, and whether you choose new or reconditioned. Straight stairlifts typically range from £1,200-£4,500, while curved stairlifts range from £3,750–£12,000. We always provide a fixed written quote before any work begins with no hidden extras. The survey visit is free. To learn more about stairlift costs, you can read our article here.
A straight stairlift takes two to four hours to install. Curved stairlifts take longer because the rail is custom-bent to your staircase, but most are completed in a single day. We run a full safety check and walk you through the controls before we leave. We’ll always give you a realistic timescale when we visit for the survey. To learn more, read our guide on what to expect when your stairlift is installed.
Yes. At Simply Stairlifts, the cost of stairlift installation is included in the purchase price and carried out by our trained professionals.
We install stairlifts on curved staircases, narrow stairs, stairs with intermediate landings, and split-level layouts. For curved staircases, the rail is custom-bent to fit your specific staircase geometry. The home survey is where we work out exactly what’s needed. We’ll never quote for work until we’ve seen the staircase in person. We haven’t yet found one we couldn’t fit.
New Homeglide stairlifts include a 12-month parts and labour warranty. Reconditioned stairlifts carry a six-month warranty. All customers have access to our 24-hour emergency helpline on 01666 822 060. We also offer annual servicing and can repair any brand of stairlift, not just those we’ve installed.
Yes. Straight staircases are straightforward. For curved, narrow, or irregular staircases, we use a custom-built rail measured precisely to your staircase during the home survey. We cover all staircase types, including those with intermediate landings or unusual layouts, and we’ve not come across one we couldn’t accommodate.
In some circumstances, yes. Grants and funding schemes exist to help with the cost of home adaptations, including stairlifts, though what you’re entitled to depends on your situation.
