About this installation
We were delighted to help Mrs Joan J. and her husband in Ashton in Makerfield, who had been finding it increasingly difficult to access the upstairs of their home. They were looking for a reliable, budget-friendly solution, and a reconditioned Brooks 130 T700 straight stairlift was the perfect fit.
The stairlift was installed on the left-hand side of the staircase. To ensure there was enough room for Mrs J.’s knees when using the lift, we removed the right-hand handrail as part of the installation. A small floating telephone stand at the bottom of the stairs — which would have impeded the rail — was kindly moved by the customer ahead of our visit, and everything else went very smoothly from there.
The Brooks 130 T700 is a compact, reliable straight stairlift that folds away neatly when not in use, keeping the staircase as clear as possible for other members of the household. The seat, armrests and footrest all fold to minimise the space the lift occupies on the stairs.
The job was completed in around two hours. Mr and Mrs J. were an absolutely lovely couple and we were very pleased to be able to help them regain safe, independent access to their upstairs. The lift is covered by our 3-month parts and labour warranty for complete peace of mind.
