Questions & answers

Common questions about Acorn stairlifts

A few quick answers to questions people often ask before arranging a stairlift quote or home survey.

No. A survey is there to confirm what’s possible and provide a clear quotation. You can take your time to decide whether a stairlift is right for you.

Stairlifts are usually fitted to the treads of the stairs rather than the wall. Fixings can normally be removed in future with minimal evidence left behind.

Many straight stairlifts can be installed in just a few hours once everything has been agreed. Curved stairlifts take longer as they are made to measure.

Modern stairlifts typically run on batteries that are charged from the mains. This means they can usually continue to operate for a period during a power cut.
