Installation ## How it works 1. 1 Survey & quote A surveyor visits your home, measures the stairs and gives a written quote within 24 hours. 2. 2 Rail manufactured For curved lifts, the rail is custom-built (2–3 weeks). Straight lifts use a same-week rail cut to length. 3. 3 Install day Two engineers arrive, lay protection, fit the rail to the treads (not the wall) and bolt on the motor unit. 4. 4 Test & handover We charge the batteries, run the lift end-to-end, and walk you through controls, charging and safety. 5. 5 Free removal If you're replacing an old stairlift, we take it away free of charge — and pay cash if it's working. ## What's included - Delivery, fitting and commissioning - Full handover and user manual - 12-month warranty - Free removal of your old lift - First annual service appointment booked in Other services: [Repairs](/services/repairs), [Servicing](/services/servicing), [Removal](/services/removal), [Free survey](/services/free-home-survey). ## Get a free quote We'll call you back within one working hour.

The rail bolts to the treads — no wall damage and no need for building work. ## Do I need to move out? No. Most fits are done in a single morning while you stay in the house. ## Will it damage my stair carpet? No. We lift the carpet at the fixing points and refit it neatly. If you'd rather we don't touch the carpet, the rail can sit on top with no damage. ## How quickly can you fit? Most straight lifts are fitted within a week of your survey. Curved lifts: 2–3 weeks for rail manufacture, then a half-day install. ### Nearby areas we cover Same engineers, same prices, same week. - [Stairlifts Salford](/locations/salford) - [Stairlifts Swinton](/locations/swinton) - [Stairlifts Prestwich](/locations/prestwich) - [Stairlifts Cheetham Hill](/locations/cheetham-hill) - [Stairlifts Deansgate](/locations/deansgate) - [Stairlifts Northern Quarter](/locations/northern-quarter) Salford Stairlifts Family-run stairlift specialists. 10+ years fitting new, reconditioned and curved stairlifts across Salford and Greater Manchester. - [07897 037526](tel:07897037526) - [hello@salfordstairlifts.co.uk](mailto:hello@salfordstairlifts.co.uk) - 3 Acton Square, Salford M5 4NY - Mon–Sat 8am–7pm · Emergency callouts 24/7 Stairlifts [New straight](/products/new-straight)[Reconditioned straight](/products/reconditioned-straight)[Used](/products/used-second-hand)[New curved](/products/new-curved)[Reconditioned curved](/products/reconditioned-curved)[Narrow-stairs](/products/narrow-stairs) Service areas [Salford](/locations/salford)[Swinton](/locations/swinton)[Prestwich](/locations/prestwich)[Cheetham Hill](/locations/cheetham-hill)[Deansgate](/locations/deansgate)[Northern Quarter](/locations/northern-quarter)[Eccles](/locations/eccles)[Worsley](/locations/worsley) Help [Installation](/services/installation)[Repairs](/services/repairs)[Servicing](/services/servicing)[Removal](/services/removal)[Free survey](/services/free-home-survey)[FAQs](/faqs)[Contact](/contact) © 2026 Salford Stairlifts.
