What Is a Reconditioned Stairlift?
A reconditioned stairlift is a quality used stairlift that has been taken back, stripped down, cleaned, tested and refurbished before being fitted in a new home. Worn parts such as batteries, upholstery and safety sensors are replaced where needed, and every lift is checked against the BS EN 81-40 safety standard before it leaves our workshop. You get a safe, reliable stairlift for considerably less than the price of a brand new one.
How Much Does a Reconditioned Stairlift Cost?
Reconditioned stairlifts are usually the most affordable way to get a professionally fitted stairlift. A reconditioned straight stairlift can save you several hundred pounds or more compared with a new model, and the saving is often enough to cover years of servicing. If the stairlift is for someone with a chronic illness or disability, it is zero rated for VAT, just like a new one. See our stairlift costs page for typical prices across every type.
Which Staircases Suit a Reconditioned Stairlift?
Reconditioned stairlifts work best on straight staircases, because a straight rail can be cut to length and refitted in a different home. Curved stairlift rails are made to measure for one particular staircase, so they rarely suit another property. If your stairs turn, bend or have a half landing, we will talk you through the most cost effective curved stairlift options instead.
What You Get With Every Reconditioned Stairlift
- A full inspection, refurbishment and safety test before installation
- New batteries and replacement of any worn components
- Professional installation by trained engineers, usually in a few hours
- A demonstration so you are confident using the stairlift from day one
- A parts and labour warranty, with local aftercare and servicing available
Is a Reconditioned Stairlift Right for You?
A reconditioned stairlift is a sensible choice if you have a straight staircase, want to keep costs down, need a stairlift fitted quickly or expect to use it for a shorter period. A new stairlift may suit you better if you want the very latest features, the longest manufacturer warranty or a curved rail. Our guides on new vs reconditioned stairlifts and whether a reconditioned stairlift is worth it explain the differences in detail.
Keeping Your Stairlift Running Smoothly
Like any stairlift, a reconditioned model should be serviced once a year to keep it safe and reliable. Our stairlift maintenance guide explains what a service involves. When you no longer need the stairlift, our removal service can take it away neatly.
