Optional Extras
Every staircase and every customer is different, so the Brooks 130 T700 can be configured with a number of optional features.
Powered Swivel Seat
Automatically turns the seat towards the landing at the top of the stairs, making getting on and off easier. Ideal for: reduced upper-body strength, arthritis or limited mobility.
Powered Hinged Rail
The bottom section of rail folds away automatically when not in use, keeping a nearby doorway or hallway clear. Ideal for: doorways close to the bottom stair.
Always recommended when more than one person lives in the property.
Manual Hinged Rail
A more economical folding rail where the bottom of the track needs to be moved out of the way. Ideal for: occasional access needs on a budget.
Chair colour options
The Premium Option
Choose the upholstery colour for your seat, backrest and armrests, so your new stairlift suits your home.
Which Straight Stairlift Is Right for You?
Choosing a straight stairlift isn't simply about finding a model that fits the length of your stairs. The width of the staircase, available space at the top and bottom, the user's mobility and weight capacity requirements can all affect which option is most suitable.
We supply both new and reconditioned stairlifts, including models suitable for narrower staircases. If a doorway or hallway is close to the bottom of the stairs, a hinged rail may also be required so that the stairlift does not obstruct access when it isn't being used.
Our team can talk you through the available options and help you choose a stairlift that suits both your home and your budget.

Easy Installation, Improved Access
Our range of new Brooks 130 T700 and reconditioned Acorn stairlifts provide the perfect way to make straight staircases more accessible. The rail attaches to the stair treads rather than the wall, so major building work isn’t normally required.
Our stairlift manufacturers are all based in the UK, so you can be assured that you’re getting a high quality stairlift, that is made to meet all British safety standards.

Straight Stairlift Prices
The final stairlift cost can vary depending on the length and layout of your staircase and whether you require additional features or options. We'll explain the price before you go ahead, so you know what your stairlift and installation will cost.
No pushy salespeople. No confusing discounts. Just a clear quotation.
We Also Supply Reconditioned Straight Stairlifts from £895
New or Reconditioned Straight Stairlifts?
Both can provide a practical solution for improving mobility around your home. A new stairlift may be your preferred option if you want a completely new unit with a 12-month warranty.
A reconditioned stairlift offers a more affordable alternative. Our reconditioned Acorn stairlifts are checked before installation, and new batteries are fitted before the stairlift is supplied.
With reconditioned straight stairlifts starting from £895 fully fitted, they can be particularly useful when keeping upfront costs down is important.

What is the best straight stairlift?

Is there an alternative to a stairlift?
Depending on your mobility needs, alternatives can include a home lift, a stair climber, or relocating your bedroom and bathroom to the ground floor. A stairlift is usually the most cost-effective option for most homes, but we’re happy to talk through what would suit your situation best when you call for a quote.
Can I get VAT relief on a stairlift?
Yes – if you’re disabled or have a long-term illness, you won’t be charged VAT on a stairlift bought for your own personal or domestic use. This also covers installation, repairs, maintenance, and spare parts. You don’t need to be elderly to qualify, and you don’t need to be a wheelchair user – but you do need to confirm in writing that you meet HMRC’s disability criteria, which we can help you with when you order.
Can I get a stairlift on the NHS?
Stairlifts are not usually provided directly by the NHS. However, you may be able to get help towards the cost through your local council, often through a Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG), depending on your circumstances and eligibility. An occupational therapist may assess your mobility needs and recommend adaptations that could help you remain independent at home.
Can a stairlift be fitted to any stairs?
Stairlifts can be fitted to many different types of staircase. If your stairs run in a straight line without bends or corners, a straight stairlift will usually be suitable. Curved staircases require a curved stairlift with a rail designed to follow the shape of the stairs. Narrow stairs and limited space at the top or bottom can sometimes require additional features, so it’s important to check the staircase before choosing a stairlift.
