Before fitting a Stannah stairlift, their sales consultants will carefully measure both the customer and their staircase. This ensures that the Stannah stairlift will fit them and their home precisely.

We have a number of demonstration sites across the UK.

Andy Knowles – National Sales Manager
And we would be quite happy to arrange for you to go and try one. Even we’d be happy for one of our Sales Consultants to come and pick you up and take you to try one. When our Sales Consultant actually visits your property to actually assess the staircase and assess the individual he would then be able advise on which is the best product for you.

Gary Hopkin – Regional Distributions Manager
We can fit the Stannah stairlift to most stairs. We will send out a Consultant they’ll measure the customer and the site because both are as important.

Shelley Cole – Marketing Manager
On curved staircases we make the rail to fit the particular staircase because each staircase is different in its design, and by making it bespoke it really ensures that it fits the bend as tightly as possible, and makes the ride as smooth as possible for the customer.

All our engineers carry dustsheets, and every engineer has two pair of shoes, so we’ll wear a pair of shoes outside and we have a clean pair of shoes that we’ll wear in the house.

Patrick Stannah – Divisional Director
Most people have the misconception that Stannah stairlifts are fitted to the wall and that is not the case. Stairlifts are screwed down to the stair treads.

Gary Hopkin – Regional Distributions Manager
Dependant upon the model it can take about 2-3 hours to install a stairlift – that depends on the site and any options we are fitting. Plus the handover, the handover is as important as the installation because the user needs to know how to use the  Stannah stairlift, and sometimes we take a long time to explain that.

Stannah Stairlifts pride themselves on making innovative products, which are simple and easy to use.

Andy Knowles – National Sales Manager
Our new stairlifts our Solus and Sofia model is the first stairlift to actually have a seat belt which has been specifically designed for a stairlift and that can be used very very easily by most of our users just with one hand.

Gary Hopkin – Regional Distributions Manager
We have a feature called a two-way power swivel so if you’re getting off in a tight space we have now got the feature where the lift will swivel into a hallway to give you more access. That’s done electrically so there’s no effort involved in that. But on a powered swivel if you swivel at the top to get off and leave it swivelled then someone downstairs can use the remote control to electrically swivel it, bring the lift down and they can use it as well.

Jon Stannah – Managing Director
And to be able to fold the chair, the arms and the footrest in one easy movement is something that I don’t think any other stairlift manufacturer has been able to achieve. I think that goes some way towards making it the easiest chair to use on the marketplace.

Patrick Stannah – Divisional Director
A Stannah stairlift does allow people to really just continue to live the life that they have been used to living for the last twenty or thirty years or however long it is.

Brian Stannah – Joint Chairman
There are tremendous social benefits of staying in your home because you are surrounded by neighbors that you have been friendly with years, with your loved furniture which perhaps wouldn’t fit in another location perhaps with your pets and animals which you might not be able to take into a flat.

Steve Leathley – Engineering Director
When you see these products installed and you see someone actually getting upstairs or downstairs painlessly for the first time for some years it makes it all worthwhile.
