Are you considering purchasing a stairlift? Here is what you need to know about the
current pricing of the machines in 2025. There are two routes you can go down if you
are looking at purchasing a stairlift.
At BAW Stairlifts we can offer both stairlifts that we have serviced and reconditioned
or a new stairlift that would be installed by Acorn UK. A new stairlift can vary in cost
but as a guideline you are looking at:
New Model Type - Average Stairlift Price:
Acorn 130 (Straight) £2,250 – 2,650
Acorn 180 (Curved) £5500 - £6550
Additional cost to consider with a new stairlift:
Installation fees :
Typically can push the price up by £500 - £1500 depending on the
complexity of your staircase and if any special modifications need to be made. For
example a hinged rail may need to be use if the stairlift rail will be blocking walking
paths.
Optional features:
Some customers would require/prefer a powered swivel seat, or a
powered footrest, which can increase the price further with each feature.
Reconditioned stairlifts – A cost effective alternative
More and more, people are opting for a refurbished Acorn Stairlift for several
reasons. The models we use typically can be 30-50% less expensive. All machines
have to go through testing to ensure reliability and safety.
Here are some more benefits of choosing a refurbished option:
Significant cost saving – This is one of the most attractive advantages is the lower
upfront cost compared to a new.
Same safety standards as new – The features are the same, we test all our
machines sensors, install new batteries and renew any parts that are worn.
Eco-friendly – It is also better for the environment. Reduces the amount of waste that
ends up in a landfill. This is a sustainable option for the environmental conscious
customer.
Quick installations – For both straights and curved the installations are significantly
reduced, as the units have been pre- built this often leads to a quicker installation
time.
Guarantee included – We at BAW stairlifts offer a guarantee on the machines we
install for 12 months. If any mechanical faults happen on the machine, you can rest
assured that we will book in to repair or replace the unit for you.
Final thoughts
A stairlift can be a literally lifesaver for some, it can avoid unnecessary injuries from
falls, you can remain independent in your home you are comfortable in, which would
avoid you having to move or sell your home. If you are thinking of having a stairlift
