Short answer: the cheapest way to fund a second-hand stairlift is often a reconditioned straight unit from £995 fitted — all-in, with a 12-month warranty. If you need help with upfront cost, VAT relief, Disabled Facilities Grants and local charitable grants can cover part or all of the price.
Our fixed prices
| Type | Fitted price | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Straight stairlift | £1,995 | 24–48 hours |
| Reconditioned stairlift | £995 | 24–48 hours |
| Curved stairlift | £2,995 | 1–3 weeks (or 48 hours with our Emergency option) |
All prices include the free home survey, installation, handover and a 12-month warranty.
Ways to pay for a second-hand stairlift
- Reconditioned outright purchase — £995 fitted, 12-month warranty, no ongoing payments
- VAT relief — zero-rated VAT if the user has a long-term illness or disability (saves 20%)
- Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) — up to £30,000 means-tested grant for home adaptations
- Local charitable grants — Independence at Home, Turn2us and regional trusts
- Rental with option to buy — low upfront, then credit rental payments toward purchase
What to avoid
- Chair-only online deals (£400–£600) that don't include rail, fitting or warranty
- Interest-heavy finance from general lenders — stairlift-specific providers are fairer
- "Free survey" firms that charge hidden fees on install day
