Our BBC Footage
BBC News featured the Castle Comfort Stairlifts team, because we had contacted a couple who had had their application denied for a quick install. The funds had been approved but they were having to wait longer as the social services grant wasn’t going to be available for some more months. By acting swiftly we arranged a rapid installation that same week, for free, so that the ladies husband wouldn’t have to continue carrying his wife on his back up the stairs. We can liaise with social services if you wish or to get advice on getting access to equipment in Glasgow or indeed anywhere in Scotland, just give us a call.
Where Can These Mobility Access Products Be Set Up?
A stair lift is most often installed inside the home to preserve the continued usage of the bedroom or the bathroom upstairs. We also additionally install other access lifts, such as wheelchair platform lifts and outdoor lifts as well, if you need to still access the garage, vehicle parking or outside space, for example if it is on a slope, has awkward steps or has a steep drive.
The only minimum requirements for your stair lift installation are to have a gap on the stairs of a minimum of 27 inches, which is actually quite a slim gap. If your stairs have a spiral stair-way or has some curves or corners in it, then it will require a few more inches width which will enable enough turning space on the bends.
If you are unsure then call our local branch on 0141 278 3929 and we can prepare a no-obligation local site visit to assess the stairs. You are welcome to read our brochure if you want us to posts you one, and we always recommend to have a family member with you so that everyone is clear on the work involved as well as leave you with a written quote. This is the way to get the right product solution for your staircase and to have any lingering questions answered.
If you have issues about an entrance at the bottom or access at the top of the stairs then the rail can be matched so it’s flush with the top, and for the bottom of the stairs a hinged track can be included which folds away so no obstacles are caused.
The first year’s annual service is included for each customer and is from manufacturer-trained engineers to offer peace of mind. We will give you full information and guidance on all aspects of the work and you can be assured that your installation will be overseen by a senior member of management and that our company can provide information and guidance to you and your family on all aspects of warranties and services.

What Could A Stairlift Cost?

A run of stairs that has a turn or bend in them would certainly need a curved stairlift therefore the price would be greater, as it calls for a custom-made rail to fit the individual line of the stairs. Because of the bespoke nature of the rail for such a set of stairs, the price is from £2,500 , which once again is for reconditioned. If you want us to arrange a complimentary no-obligation survey we can obtain the right sizes for seat elevation as well as weight etc from the user that will be needing it, as well as a full check over the stair measurements.
