Buying an approved used stairlift is a practical way to get the independence and safety of a new installation at a lower cost. At Thornbury Stairlifts, every used stairlift we sell has been fully inspected, serviced and tested before it goes into your home.
You receive the same professional installation, the same quality of aftercare, and the same 24-hour support as customers who buy new. The only difference is the price.
What approved used means
When a stairlift is removed from a property, either because the customer no longer needs it or because they have upgraded, we carry out a thorough inspection of all mechanical and electrical components. Any worn parts are replaced. The unit is cleaned, tested, and only approved for resale once it meets our standards.
We are straightforward with you about the age and condition of any used model we recommend. If we do not feel a unit is suitable for your situation, we will tell you.
Straight and curved options
We carry approved used stairlifts in both straight and curved configurations. Availability varies depending on what has recently come back to us. Call or email to find out what is currently in stock and whether we have something suitable for your staircase.
Warranty and aftercare
All approved used stairlifts come with a warranty and full aftercare support. If something goes wrong, you call the same number and receive the same response as any other customer. There is no reduced level of service for used products.
Free home survey
We carry out a free home survey before recommending any used stairlift to make sure it is the right fit for your staircase and your needs. There is no obligation to proceed after the survey.
We cover Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Cheltenham and the wider Southwest. Call us on 01454 413748 or reach us 24 hours a day on 07833 318722.
Frequently asked questions
Is a used stairlift as reliable as a new one? All our approved used stairlifts are fully inspected and serviced before installation. Any worn components are replaced. They come with a warranty and the same level of aftercare as a new product.
How much cheaper is a used stairlift compared to new? The saving varies depending on the model and condition. Call us for a quote and we can compare the cost of a suitable used model with the equivalent new product so you can make an informed decision.
Can I get a curved stairlift as an approved used model? Yes, subject to availability. Curved stairlifts are less commonly available as used models since they are made to measure for a specific staircase. Call us to discuss what is currently available.
What warranty comes with an approved used stairlift? All used stairlifts we sell come with a warranty. Your engineer will confirm the warranty period at the time of sale.
