The straightforward option
What a straight stairlift is
A straight stairlift runs on a single straight rail fixed to the treads of your stairs - not the wall - so it suits most standard staircases. A comfortable seat carries you smoothly up and down at the touch of a control, then the seat, footrest and arms fold neatly out of the way when the lift isn't in use, leaving the staircase clear for everyone else.
Because the rail is a standard length rather than custom-made, straight stairlifts are generally the most affordable type and the quickest to fit - often in a single visit. Every job starts with a free, no-obligation home visit, where we measure your stairs and give you a clear written price on the day, with no pressure to go ahead.
Is it right for your stairs?
When a straight stairlift is the answer
A straight stairlift suits you
- Your staircase goes straight up in one line
- There are no bends, curves or turns partway up
- There's no mid-way landing splitting the flight
- You'd like the most cost-effective option
- You want it fitted quickly, often in one visit
You may need a curved one if
- Your stairs bend, turn or have a half-landing
- The flight changes direction at any point
- The staircase narrows or widens as it climbs
Older Merseyside terraces often have a tight turn or half-landing. If that's yours, a made-to-measure rail is the answer - see curved stairlifts.
Not sure which type you need? This is the quickest way to tell - and we'll always confirm it honestly at the free home visit.

Folds right up
Seat, arms and footrest fold away when not in use, so the stairs stay clear for everyone else in the house.
Battery-powered
Most models run on rechargeable batteries, so they keep working through a power cut and recharge from a normal socket.
Kind to your stairs
The rail fixes to the stair treads, not your walls, and can be removed later. We tidy up fully before we leave.

Straight stairlifts - your questions
Frequently asked questions
-
It depends on the length of your staircase and the model, but straight stairlifts are generally the most affordable type because the rail is standard rather than custom-made. We'll give you a clear written quote after a free home visit, with no obligation to go ahead. If budget is tight, ask us about reconditioned options too.
-
Many straight stairlifts can be installed in a single visit, often within a couple of hours, because the rail doesn't need to be custom-manufactured. We'll confirm a realistic timeframe once we've seen your stairs.
-
No. The rail fixes to the stair treads themselves, not your wall, and can be removed later if needed. We take care to fit it cleanly and tidy up fully before we leave.
-
Yes. The seat, footrest and arms fold up out of the way when the stairlift isn't in use, leaving the staircase clear for everyone else to walk up and down normally.
-
Most modern stairlifts run on batteries that charge from a normal plug socket, so they keep working through a power cut and simply recharge when the power returns. We'll explain exactly how your model works when we fit it.
