Price of a stairlift
How much does a stairlift cost?
The price depends on the stairlift that meets your needs. Each stairlift is different, because each home is different. No two staircases are the same, nor are the people who want to use them. We make a stairlift that is perfectly matched to your needs and your house.
My stairlift is for:
The price of your stairlift depends on:
- How long the rail needs to be
- If your stairs are straight or curved
- How many turns your staircase has
- If your stairs are outdoors or indoors
- How many steps are in the flight of stairs
- Which chair is best for you and your needs
- If you want to go up more than one flight of stairs
- If you want any additional features like a powered swivel
- If there are any doors where the stairlift would need to go
Some of these factors are your choice, others depend on your house and your stairs. Either way, our specialist advisers are happy to walk you through all your options and tell you the price of the perfect stairlift for you. What’s the best fit for your house? What suits your specific needs? What’s the perfect lift to give you back the independence you thought you’d lost?
Find out about the perfect stairlift for you by booking a stair survey. That’s when our advisers can give you all the information you’re looking for.

A stairlift is an investment into your future.
Compare the price of a stairlift to the high cost of moving home. A stairlift means you can stay in your house for longer – in your community, surrounded by people that care about you. You can save your energy for the things that make you happy instead of using it all getting up and down the stairs.
We’ve been in business for over 150 years, and have led the stairlift industry for over 40. Our experience helps us make the best product out there, keeping you safe in your home for longer.
Stairlifts are sometimes seen as a luxury item, but when you consider your quality of life without one, you start to see how much of a necessity it is.
Government help
There are many aids available that could help you fund your stairlift.
If you live in Ireland:
- You can get a VAT refund on your stairlift up to 4 years after purchasing it
- The Mobility Aids Grant Scheme could get you up to €6,000, if your annual income doesn’t exceed €30,000
- The Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability is also means tested, but could get you more than €6,000 if you qualify
If you live in Northern Ireland:
- The Disabled Facilities Grant is means tested, but you could get up to £25,000, depending on the work you want to get done
- You may be exempt from paying VAT if you suffer from a chronic illness or have a disability, but if not you may still be eligible to get 5% VAT relief

How much does it cost to run a stairlift?

Second hand stairlift
We don’t recommend you buy a second hand stairlift from anyone other than a stairlift company. Our Stannah reconditioned stairlifts might be just the option you’re looking for. Cheaper than a new stairlift, our reconditioned options still come with a Stannah guarantee, keeping you safe in your home, for that much cheaper.
