Are stairlifts easy to remove?

Whilst a straight stairlift track is less cumbersome to remove than a curved stairlift, it is paramount that you know what you are doing. Removing a stairlift should therefore only be carried out by trained professional engineers.

What is the cost of getting a stairlift removed?

The age and type of stairlift that you stairlift you have will affect the removal price. Typically, older stairlifts (more than 18 months old) will incur a charge for the removal and disposal. You can normally expect to pay a stairlift removal cost of around £200 for a straight stairlift and £250 for a curved stairlift. The cost of removing a curved stairlift is higher because there’s more work involved in removing the curved rail.

Can I remove the stairlift myself?

Whilst it may be tempting to try and remove the unwanted stairlift yourself, we would urge you against doing so, particularly if it has a curved rail. Removing stairlifts is not a straightforward DIY job and you inadvertently cause damage to your staircase or carpets.

How long does it take to remove a stairlift?

The whole process of stairlift removal normally takes 1-2 hours depending on the complexity of the job. A Curved stairlift removal often takes a little longer and the cost is often slightly more as a result.

Can a stairlift be moved to another property?

If you are looking to move a stairlift from one house to another, the feasibility of a stairlift removal and refit will much depend on the type of stairlift you have and the configuration of the staircase at the new property. A straight stairlift is normally fitted with a standard track, and in theory, it should be possible to refit this track on another straight staircase. It becomes a little more complicated if you have a curved stairlift, as each track for this will have been custom-made for the old staircase. In this instance, you may be able to purchase a new track.

Do companies buy back second hand stairlifts?

You could ask the manufacturer or original installer if they want to buy it back. However, many stairlift companies don’t offer a buyback service as second-hand stairlifts aren’t generally worth very much. With that said, certain models do retain some value.
