Will a Stairlift block my stairwell? All modern Stair lifts are slim line design. Modern Chairlifts have inbuilt features to guarantee they don't block hold up the staircase when not in use.

Folding chairlift seats fold away neatly and compactly reducing the obstruction space. The carriage foot-plate also folds away once more saving space and avoiding blocking the stairwell for pedestrian foot users.

Each Chairlift arm can be raised in the upright position again this is a space saving feature incorporated into all modern slim-line Stairlifts.

Curved Stairlifts are now a lot more compact than 1 or 2 years ago! Manufacturers have designed space saving rails that are modular formed to reduce the space on the staircase and can now be installed on the narrowest of stairwells

Before you install any type of stair lift be it straight or curved if you do not own the property you should seek authorization from the owner owners of the dwelling

Most local council's (Local Authorities) will not permit you to install Stairlifts without getting prior permission from their adaptations departments. It is vital you've got permission before you proceed.

If the Stairlift is to be installed on a public stairwell you'll need authorization not only from the local council/Owner but also from the fire department. Other user's residents may object to a Stairlift being installed so a community meeting will be needed to determine the viability of the installation

If the item is to be installed on a public stairwell it's very unlikely that one single person (Resident) will be the owner who is answerable for the upkeep and safety of the unit. In these types of circumstances the local authority would pay for the Stairlift and be publicly liable for its safe operation.

The same thing applies if you live in a sheltered housing complex or a (Housing Association) the owners of the property would be accountable for the installation and upkeep costs as well as making certain the item remains in a safe working condition at all times

If you need a curved Stairlift you should seek guidance from a curved specialist company. Curved Stairlifts are bespoke design therefore the sizeable price tag. There are a considerable number of firms that offer overhauled curved Stairlifts which should cut back the costs dramatically.
