What changes the price on a Trafford staircase
The larger Victorian and Edwardian semis and detached houses around Hale, Bowdon and Altrincham often have wider, turned staircases with a half-landing. Those need a made-to-measure curved rail, which is why quotes in these areas skew toward the £2,995 end. The more uniform terraced and semi-detached streets around Stretford, Urmston and Old Trafford more often have a straight run, keeping costs closer to the £1,995 starting price. A free survey settles which applies to your specific stairs.

How a Trafford survey and fit works
- 1Call or request a quote — Tell us roughly what your Trafford staircase does — straight run, or a turn somewhere.
- 2Free home survey — An engineer measures the stairs and confirms whether a standard straight rail fits or a curved rail needs building to measure.
- 3A firm written price — Including any VAT relief you qualify for. Anything extra, such as electrical work, is identified and priced at this stage — not afterwards.
- 4Installation — Straight stairlifts are usually fitted within a day. Curved rails take longer to schedule because each one is custom-built for your staircase.
Pay less than you think
Most stairlift buyers pay 0% VAT (chronically sick or disabled) or a reduced 5% (aged 60 or over, whatever your health) rather than the full rate.
