How Do I Get Rid of an Old Stairlift?
If you are concerned about what to do with your old stairlift, please contact our friendly team of stairlift experts and we can help you find the best solution. It is possible to remove stairlifts from any straight or curved stairs, but whether this can be done for free or at a small cost depends on the age, make, model and condition of your stairlift. Some stairlift removal companies buy second hand stairlifts if they meet certain criteria and they can be sold on as reconditioned stairlifts.

The newer your stairlift is, the more likely it is that you will be able to find someone to remove it for free.

Does Anyone Buy Second Hand Stairlifts?
There are stair lift removal companies that buy used stairlifts. How much you can sell your second hand stairlift for depends on a number of factors, such as whether it is straight or curved, its age and condition, and what brand it is.
In order to get a valuation, we can arrange for a local stairlift removal company to contact you to discuss their policy about buying used stairlifts and give you a price. For example, they may be happy to buy a non-working stairlift for parts and repairs.
If you agree on a price, the stairlift removing company will arrange a convenient time to come and remove your lift and leave your home in a clean and tidy condition.

Your stairlift removal cost, if there is one, will depend on your particular case, and it is hard to give a specific price without doing a free home assessment.

Simple straight stairlifts are much easier to remove than curved stairlifts on a complex rail, where it may require more than one technician to manoeuvre the lift and rail without damaging your décor.

Will I Need to Re-carpet The Stairs After My Stairlift is Removed?
What will your stairs look like after your stairlift is removed? There should be no need to re-carpet your stairs when the work to take away your old stairlift is done, and the stairs should be returned to their original state.
There may be a few very small holes in the carpet or wood and possibly also small indentations in the carpet where the brackets were fixed to the stair tread, but usually these are no longer visible after brushing with a stiff brush or steam cleaning.
Does It Matter How Old My Lift Is?
Yes, how old your stairlift is will affect your options when it comes to removal. The age of your stairlift will determine whether a removal company will pay you for it, take it away for free, or charge you to remove it. Please call us to arrange a free assessment of the value of your stairlift.
What Makes and Models Are Worth the Most?
Stairlifts that are almost new and have only been used for a short time are generally worth the most money, but it does depend on the condition of the lift and whether it is a reliable make from a top UK brand. Leading brands include Acorn, Brooks, Companion, Handicare, Minivator, Stannah and ThyssenKrupp.
