Making your home more accessible is a top priority as you or a loved one face mobility challenges. A stairlift can be a life-changing addition, providing independence and improving quality of life. However, the process of choosing and installing the right stairlift may feel overwhelming at first.
At A6 Mobility, we understand these concerns. As a trusted provider of stairlifts in Manchester, Stockport and Cheshire, our mission is to make the entire process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. We’re here to guide you through every step, from the initial assessment to the final installation and beyond.
In this guide to stairlift installation, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about installing a stairlift.
Before Your Stairlift Installation
Professional Home Survey
The process should begin with a thorough home survey conducted by experienced assessors. We visit your home to evaluate your staircase and discuss your mobility needs; this is how we recommend the most suitable solution every time.
Technical Assessment
During the survey, we take precise measurements of your staircase, noting any particular features or challenges. This detailed assessment covers width, length, angle, and potential obstacles like radiators or doorways. This is important to create a perfect fit for your new stairlift.
Choosing Your Stairlift
Based on our assessment, we will recommend the best stairlift models for your home. We consider your mobility requirements, staircase configuration, budget, and any specific features you might need.
Understanding the Stairlift Installation Process
Initial Preparation
This process begins by protecting your floors and carpets. We work with minimal disruption to your home throughout the installation process.
Rail System Installation
The first step involves securely mounting the rail system to your stairs. For straight staircases, this is straightforward. Curved staircases require custom-made rails that perfectly match your staircase’s contours.
Chair and Power Unit Fitting
The chair unit is installed once the rail is secure and the power supply is connected. All electrical connections are adequately tested, and safety features are thoroughly checked.
Safety Testing
Before completion, comprehensive testing of all functions is done, including:
- Emergency stop features.
- Obstacle detection systems.
- Battery backup operation.
- Smooth running at all points.
