What is a reconditioned stairlift?

The idea of a reconditioned product may not be familiar to you, so we’ll explain what it is. A reconditioned stairlift is a used stairlift that’s refurbished to a “new” condition.

Straight or curved?

There are two main types of stairlift that you’ll most likely use. Straight stairlifts are the most common as they’ll fit a large percentage of UK homes. Straight stairlifts use a straight track that the chair rides upon. Most homes in the UK have straight stairlifts making this the most likely stairlift for you.

Curved stairlifts are more bespoke as they’ll need a custom rail to ride on. This rail or track will have to make custom to your stairs as there is no preset track that will suit your home. This makes it impossible to have a reconditioned curved stairlift. A curved staircase will always need a custom rail. This makes a previously built track unsuitable for repurposing.
