Stairlift planning
Compare a stairlift with other access options for the user and layout. Ask the supplier to check turns, landings, charging locations and whether the stair can still be used by others.
What to ask about
Ask for the measured design, installation, emergency operation, warranty and service cost. Confirm any landlord or strata approval.
