Stairlifts
Curved staircases, half-landings and spirals all need a custom-built rail. We measure on site, design the rail to the exact curve, then fit in a single morning with a full manufacturer warranty.
New Curved Stairlifts starts from £2,995, fitted from £2,995. Installed prices include rail, delivery, fitting and 12-month warranty.

The rail is custom-manufactured to the exact dimensions of your staircase — no off-the-shelf rail will fit. The seat unit is similar in price to a straight lift; the rail is the cost.
After your survey, the rail typically takes 2–3 weeks to manufacture. Installation itself takes a morning.
Yes — we frequently fit curved lifts on Cheetham Hill, Prestwich and Northern Quarter staircases. Tight-radius models are available where space is limited.
Same engineers, same prices, same week.
Curved staircases — anything with a bend, a half-landing, a winder, an intermediate step or a spiral — need a custom-manufactured rail. There's no off-the-shelf rail that fits a curve, which is why curved lifts cost more than straight ones: it's the rail engineering, not the seat motor, that drives the price. Our surveyor takes precise on-site measurements (often photogrammetry plus laser), the data goes to the manufacturer, and a one-piece or modular rail is built to your exact staircase profile to BS EN 81-40.
Typical lead time is 2–3 weeks from survey to install, and the install itself is a half-day job. Rails can be mounted on the inside or outside of the curve depending on which gives the better fit for hallway furniture, banister rails and door openings. Powered swivel is standard on every new curved lift so the user can dismount safely on the landing without twisting. Handicare and Stannah are particularly strong on tight-radius Victorian and Edwardian staircases — common in Prestwich, Cheetham Hill and Northern Quarter conversions.
A reconditioned curved option is also available — see reconditioned curved stairlifts — though every reconditioned curved install is bespoke and priced after survey. Both qualify for zero-rated VAT for chronically sick or disabled users. Realistic pricing and lead times are covered in the straight vs curved guide; for funding routes see Salford grants.
