Sheffield Rental stairlift installation

Mr Pilkington from Sheffield has COPD, (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), and is often out of breath when he climbs the stairs. His son Alan contacted us after he noticed that his dad was finding it more difficult to get up the stairs and kept stopping to get his breath back.

“Dad didn’t want to cause a fuss but we were worried he might fall so we were glad we found Rental Stairlifts,” said his son.

As Mr Pilkington was unsure about having a stairlift permanently fitted in his home, a rental stairlift seemed a good solution as it would provide flexibility and peace of mind when it came to maintenance.

The family decided to rent the Acorn-Brooks Lincoln stairlift which needs very little maintenance and is very reliable. The stairlift runs on maintenance free DC Power packs, which are automatically recharged at the end of every trip. This also means the Stairlift is very quiet and incredibly smooth.

No structural work is needed as the lift is secured to the stairs and not the wall, which was a plus for Mr Pilkington.

"The installation only took a couple of hours, and the engineer tidied and cleaned up. I would highly recommend them to anyone for peace of mind for older relatives." Alan Pilkington
