Stairlift Repairs & Service

As we get older, or if mobility becomes more difficult due to illness or injury, using the stairs can start to feel harder and sometimes even unsafe. A stairlift can make a huge difference, helping you or your loved one to move freely and confidently around the home. Here are five signs that it might be time to think about installing a stairlift. 1. Climbing the stairs feels exhausting or painful If you find yourself short of breath, unsteady, or in pain when using the stairs, that is a clear sign a stairlift could help. It takes the strain off joints and muscles, making it easier to move safely between floors. Our stairlifts in Ireland are designed for comfort, safety and reliability. 2. You are avoiding part of your home Many people begin limiting themselves to one floor to avoid using the stairs altogether. A stairlift allows you to enjoy your whole home again so you do not need to sleep downstairs or miss out on using certain rooms. Professional stairlift installation ensures you can move freely and safely wherever you need to go. 3. There has been a recent fall or near miss Even a small slip on the stairs can have serious consequences. Installing a stairlift provides peace of mind and greatly reduces the risk of accidents. Our experienced team can guide you through the process, from choosing the right model to fitting it securely in your home. 4. Family members or carers are worried If family or friends have expressed concern about your safety on the stairs, it is worth taking that seriously. A stairlift helps you to stay independent while reassuring those who care about you. Many families in Ireland choose stairlifts to improve safety and support independent living. 5. You value your independence Most importantly, a stairlift allows you to remain independent in the home you love. It makes it possible to move safely and comfortably without needing daily help. With regular maintenance and full aftercare, your stairlift will continue to give you confidence for years to come. Thinking about a stairlift in Ireland?

If you're considering a stairlift for yourself or a loved one, one of the first questions you’ll ask is: how much does a stairlift cost in Ireland? The answer depends on the type of stairlift, the features you need and whether you buy new, reconditioned or rent. This guide breaks down the average stairlift prices in Ireland in 2025, plus tips on getting the best value for your money. Straight Stairlift: €2300-3000 Second Hand Straight Stairlift: €1400-2000 Curved Stairlift: €5500-€8000 Second Hand Curved Stairlift: €3800 -€5500 Note: These are guide prices. Final costs depend on your specific stairs, options like powered swivel seats or hinged rails and the supplier you choose. Straight vs Curved Stairlifts: Why the Big Difference? Straight stairlifts are the most affordable option because they are installed on a standard, pre-made rail. In contrast, curved stairlifts are significantly more expensive, as they require a custom-built rail designed to match the exact curves and turns of your staircase. Other Cost Factors to Consider A home survey is included free of charge with BM Stairlifts. Optional features such as powered swivel seats, remote controls, hinged rails, or upgraded upholstery can add between €200 and €1,000+ to the overall cost. Ways to Save on Stairlifts in Ireland Consider opting for reconditioned stairlifts, especially for straight stairs, as they offer the same safety at a lower cost. You may also qualify for grants such as the Housing Adaptation Grant for Older People or People with a Disability. Additionally, in some cases, you may be able to reclaim VAT on mobility aids installed in your home. How BM Stairlifts Can Help?
