Brooks 130 T700 Straight Stairlift, Orrell

This installation was for a husband and wife in Orrell, Wigan. The gentleman had experienced a couple of stays in hospital and was finding it increasingly difficult to get around at home — particularly on the stairs. Following our free home survey, the family decided that a Brooks 130 T700 straight stairlift was the right solution.

The stairlift covers the longest flight of steps, allowing the customer to exit the lift at the first landing and climb the last couple of steps to the right, using grab rails that were already in place. To ensure there was enough width for the customer to be seated comfortably, we removed the handrail on the left-hand side of the staircase as part of the installation.

The Brooks 130 T700 is supplied as standard with a manual seat swivel, allowing the seat to be rotated to face away from the stairs for a safe and easy exit. The lift is finished in a clean, unobtrusive design and folds away neatly when not in use, keeping as much of the staircase clear as possible for other members of the household.

The job was clean and tidy from start to finish and was completed in under two hours. The customer was delighted with the result. The lift is covered by a two-year parts and labour warranty, giving the family complete peace of mind.
