Stairlift FAQ
Stairlift FAQs – Leicester & Leicestershire
At Mobile Mobility, we supply, install and maintain stairlifts across Leicester, Leicestershire and nearby towns, including Hinckley, Lutterworth, Market Harborough, Loughborough and Coalville. Below you’ll find clear, easy‑to‑read answers to the questions we’re most often asked.
What is a stairlift?
A stairlift is a motorised chair that travels along a rail fitted to your staircase. It allows you to move safely between floors without climbing the stairs.
Do you supply stairlifts in Leicester and Leicestershire?
Yes. We provide stairlifts across Leicester and the wider Leicestershire area. Because we’re local, we can offer quick home visits and ongoing support.
What types of stairlifts do you offer?
- Straight stairlifts – for staircases with no turns
- Curved stairlifts – custom‑built for stairs with bends or landings
- Outdoor stairlifts – for external steps and entrances
How much does a stairlift cost?
Prices vary depending on your staircase and the type of stairlift needed. We offer free, no‑obligation home assessments so we can give you an accurate quote.
How long does stairlift installation take?
Most straight stairlifts are installed in just a couple of hours. Curved stairlifts take longer due to custom rails, but installation is typically completed within half a day.
Will a stairlift damage my walls or stairs?
No. Stairlifts are fixed to the stairs, not the wall, so no major structural work is required. They can usually be removed later if no longer needed.
Are stairlifts safe?
Yes. Our stairlifts include seatbelts, swivel seats and obstacle sensors to ensure safe everyday use.
What happens if there is a power cut?
Stairlifts run on rechargeable batteries, so they continue to operate even during a power cut.
Do you provide local servicing and repairs?
Yes. We provide local servicing, maintenance and repairs across Leicester and Leicestershire.
Can a stairlift be fitted to a narrow staircase?
Often yes. Compact models are designed for narrow or steep staircases, common in older properties.
