Curved Stairlifts

A curved stairlift is designed specifically for staircases with bends, turns, or multiple levels. Unlike straight stairlifts, curved stairlifts are custom-made to fit the unique shape of your staircase, including spiral designs and complex curves.

Each curved stairlift is bespoke and made to order based on a detailed survey of your staircase. We create a precise model of your stairs to ensure a perfect fit. During our free home assessment, our experts will evaluate your staircase and recommend the best model for your needs.

Stairlift installation very much depends on the type of stairlift you need to install and whether you are opting for a model that has a hinged rail or twin rail or other types of powered hinges. However, generally a stairlift can be installed between two and four hours, and this includes the engineers demonstrating how the model works. The exact time depends on the complexity of the staircase and the specific model chosen. During this time, our engineers will also demonstrate how to use the stairlift.

Our stairlifts are specifically designed to handle spiral staircases and other complex designs. The Freecurve model, in particular, is well-suited for navigating tight curves and narrow spaces.

In the unlikely event of a breakdown, our customer support team is available 24/7 to assist you on 0808 303 7331. We offer prompt repair services to minimise downtime and ensure your stairlift is back in operation quickly.

Our curved stairlifts are powered by DC batteries, which are charged while the stairlift is in use. In the event of a power outage, the batteries will provide enough power for several trips, ensuring continuous operation.

Yes, each stairlift comes with two remote controls—one for upstairs and one for downstairs—allowing you to call the lift to your location easily.

No, our stairlifts operate quietly, so you can use them at any time without disturbing others in your household.

Yes, all our straight stairlifts come with a comprehensive 12-month warranty covering parts and labour. We also offer extended warranty options for added peace of mind.

Our stairlifts come with padded, easy-to-clean seats that offer comfort and style. You can choose from a variety of colours to match your home decor. Find out about the different colour available in our guide about stairlift features.

A stairlift will eventually need to be removed or replaced, and due to their bespoke nature, curved stairlifts can take longer to remove than straight stairlift models. We strongly recommend that stairlifts only ever be removed by a trained professional as attempting to remove one yourself might result in damage to the machinery itself or the fixtures and fittings in your home.

It is worth keeping in mind that our technicians can arrange for the removal and disposal of your old stairlift free of charge if you are buying a new mobility aid from Companion Stairlifts. You can find out more about removing a stairlift in our guide.

Due to the bespoke nature of the equipment, there is no average cost for curved stairlifts. Stairlifts need to fit your staircase, and there are lots of factors that can change stairlift prices: the amount and complexity of the work required, the cost of the equipment, potential installation costs, VAT exemption, and more.

For an accurate answer, you will need to organise a free home assessment with us, and our experts will be able to advise what model would be best for your home and can look at how a curved stairlift will fit on the bottom of the stairs. Once this has been conducted, the engineer who conducts the assessment will be able to give you an idea of how much the stairlift will cost and can answer any questions you may have. You can find out more about stairlift prices here.

People with straight flights of stairs will need straight stairlifts, and they tend to be faster than curved models. This is because straight stairlifts travel in a straight line, while curved stairlifts need to navigate turns and bends, requiring the seat to slow down for safety.

As a customer of Companion, you do not need to worry about measuring for a stairlift for curved stairs. During our free home survey, our expert engineers will measure and assess your staircase and recommend the best model for your home.

The weight a curved stairlift can carry varies. Our 4000 Curved model can weigh up to 160kg/25¼ stone, whilst our Freecurve model can weigh up to 125kg/19.5 stone.

All our curved stairlifts are manufactured by Handicare. Companion is part of the Handicare group, and we are dedicated to helping people regain their independence by providing safe and reliable solutions to the challenges posed by their stairs at home.

While the terms 'chair lift' and 'stairlift' often mean the same thing, there are some distinctions. A chair lift typically refers to a fully seated lift designed for users to sit comfortably while travelling up and down stairs. 'Stairlift' is a broader term that includes seated models and those with perch or standing options. At Companion Stairlifts, you’ll find a range of solutions, including traditional chair lifts and stairlifts with perch seats. Discover the key differences in our guide to stairlifts versus chair lifts.
