Stairlift servicing
A stairlift is something you rely on every day. A yearly service helps keep it safe, smooth and quiet, and catches small problems before they become big ones.
What we check
What a service includes
Our engineer will check your stairlift carefully from top to bottom, and explain anything they find in plain English.
- Safety sensors and safety edges tested
- Batteries and charging checked
- Rail cleaned and checked, with lubrication where needed
- Seat, swivel, belt and footrest checked
- Controls and remote controls tested
- Brakes and motor checked
- A full test ride, up and down
How often should a stairlift be serviced?
We recommend a service at least once a year for a stairlift in your home. Some manufacturers ask for this to keep the warranty valid.
Stairlifts in care homes, or that are used a lot, may need checking more often. We'll advise you.

Signs your stairlift needs looking at
If you notice any of these, give us a ring. It's often a quick fix.
New noises
Squeaking, clicking or grinding that wasn't there before.
Jerky ride
Stopping and starting, or a bumpy journey.
Beeping
Beeping when parked, or a code on the display.
Batteries running down
Getting slower, or running out of charge part-way.
Seat feels loose
The seat or swivel doesn't lock firmly into place.
It's been over a year
If you can't remember its last service, it's probably due.
