Servicing and repairs with care. It doesn’t matter who installed your stairlift, we’ll be here to help service or repair it. Quality peace of mind. Stannah installer, CheckaTrade approved and family-run, we do our very best for you.

When you invest in a stairlift, whether it’s a brand new model or a reconditioned stairlift, you’re making a decision that enhances your mobility and independence. However, like all mechanical systems, stairlifts require ongoing maintenance to ensure they operate efficiently and safely. Regular servicing is vital for preventing costly repairs and extending the life of your stairlift.


At Droitwich Stairlifts, we understand the importance of keeping your stairlift in top condition. As a family-run business with a reputation for quality, we’re proud to offer servicing and repairs for all makes and models of stairlifts, including Stannah stairlifts, curved stairlifts and used or reconditioned stairlifts in Birmingham, Kidderminster, Dudley, Worcester and beyond.


The importance of regular maintenance for your stairlift

  • Safety first

Your stairlift is designed to make your daily life easier, but safety should always be the top priority. Regular maintenance ensures that all the key components, such as the motor, battery, and tracks, are functioning correctly. Over time, wear and tear can affect the performance of these components, potentially leading to breakdowns or, in the worst case, accidents. Regular servicing allows technicians to identify and address any issues before they become serious safety concerns.

  • Improved longevity

Much like a car or any other valuable piece of equipment, your stairlift needs regular attention to ensure it lasts for many years. A well-maintained stairlift will serve you reliably for much longer than one that isn’t properly cared for. For example, if you own a curved stairlift, the intricate mechanisms that allow it to follow the path of your stairs must be regularly lubricated and adjusted. Regular servicing prevents unnecessary stress on these components, which can help to extend the lifespan of your stairlift and reduce the likelihood of costly repairs.

  • Cost savings

While regular servicing does incur a cost, it’s far more affordable than having to pay for major repairs or replacing a stairlift prematurely. For example, problems such as battery failure, if left unchecked, can lead to the need for a completely new battery or even a full replacement. By keeping up with regular maintenance, you can avoid these more expensive issues and ensure that your stairlift runs smoothly for years to come.

  • Preventative care

Routine servicing allows our expert technicians to identify minor issues before they develop into major problems. Whether it’s tightening loose screws or adjusting the alignment of the tracks, these small fixes can make a big difference in the overall performance of your stairlift. Preventative care is always better than dealing with emergency repairs, especially if it means you’ll have to wait for a replacement or find yourself in an unsafe situation.

  • Comfort and convenience

A stairlift should be a comfortable and convenient solution for navigating your home. If the mechanism is sluggish or noisy, it can take away from the experience. Regular maintenance ensures that your stairlift operates quietly and smoothly, providing you with a more comfortable ride. This is particularly important if you rely on your stairlift on a daily basis, whether it’s to get to your bedroom or simply to reach different levels of your home.

The importance of supporting local The Droitwich community is the heart of everything we do. From the moment we opened our doors, Droitwich Stairlifts has been dedicated to offering the best service to local residents, helping to make their homes more accessible.

That’s why we’ve always taken pride in supporting local events and initiatives that bring us all together. By sponsoring and participating in community-driven activities, we aim to encourage a sense of belonging and pride within the area. Cue our support of Droitwich Soccer Aid. This annual charity football match, which started as a way to honour a friend battling testicular cancer, has become a key event in the town’s calendar. Since its inception in 2022, the event has raised much-needed funds for various local charities and has brought together people of all ages for a good cause. And we’re proud to be part of this initiative. Supporting Droitwich Soccer Aid aligns perfectly with our values of community support. Whether through sponsorship or raising awareness, we want to ensure that these types of local events continue to thrive. It’s a wonderful example of how people and businesses can come together to create something truly special, all while helping to support those in need. More about the upcoming event here. Will we see you there? Hope so! Ongoing community engagement: the caption competition It’s not just large events like Droitwich Soccer Aid that matter — everyday engagement is just as important. That’s why we launched the “Support Local” caption competition on our Facebook page. This ongoing competition invites our local community to get involved in a fun and creative way, while also promoting the idea of supporting businesses and people in Droitwich. The caption competition has been a huge hit, with locals coming together to share their creativity and connect with each other. It’s a small but significant way for us to foster interaction within the community and encourage people to support local businesses, from big companies to small family-run operations like ours. We encourage everyone to join in the fun by visiting our Facebook page and submitting a caption. Full details and terms and conditions can be found there.
