Do you struggle to get in and out of your wheelchair and are looking for a better option than a stairlift to get upstairs in your home? Have you considered a wheelchair lift? At Irish Stairlifts, we can provide you with through floor lifts that will make this everyday activity much easier for you.

It can be incredibly difficult when you struggle to move from your wheelchair yourself and with the majority of homes having their bathrooms and bedrooms upstairs not being able to move into a stairlift can leave you feeling like you’re out of options. This is where our team can help, we can supply you with wheelchair lifts that won’t involve you having to get out of your chair to go upstairs.

Our wheelchair lifts are designed for safety, flexibility and independence. The advanced design of the Wessex Home Lift provides greater benefits to the user and with six models to choose from, we can provide you with a lift that suits your home and meets your requirements. These new and improved lifts run on freestanding tracks eliminating the need for a load-bearing wall, thus giving a wider choice of lift locations. They have safety edges that if touched or obstructed will automatically stop the lift in ascent and there are also sensors in the floating platform under lift which also stop the lift if descent is obstructed. Our wheelchair lifts can be tailored to you, for example, if it would be easier we can install a powered remote control door. We want this lift to be as easy as possible for you to use.

When choosing Irish Stairlifts to supply and install you wheelchair lifts it is always one of our main aims to carry out adaptations within your home as quickly and efficiently as possible ensuring the minimum inconvenience to you and your family.

Do you think you would benefit from getting a stairlift? Are you aware that you can apply for stairlift grants? Here at Irish Stairlifts, we are more than happy to assist you with the grant and also provide you with some of the highest quality stairlifts available. Our staff are specially trained to guide you through from the very first phone call to completion.

Being able to completely install your products for you makes us a one stop shop for home mobility. All of our highly trained technicians and building staff will get your mobility aids up and running as quickly as possible giving you back your independence.

We understand that stairlifts can be expensive and many people are unaware that if you have a disability then you may be eligible for a grant to help adapt your home. These disabled person grants cover items such as access ramps, stairlifts, downstairs toilets, accessible bathrooms, extensions and much more. If you’re unaware as to whether you’re eligible for a grant you can speak to a member of our team who will be able to assist you further. If you live in any of the following then you automatically qualify for the scheme and it is worth taking the next steps; if you live in a home that you own, a house that you are buying from your local council under the Tenant Purchase Scheme, a private rented house, flat or apartment, a home that is provided to you under a voluntary housing Capital Assistance and Rental Subsidy scheme or a home in a communal residence.

Once your stairlift grant has been approved by your local authority you can start browsing our selection to see what would be the best option for you. Whether you’re in need of a straight or curved stairlift we have lots to choose from. The majority of people require curved stairlifts as they can accommodate a staircase which is not straight through its ascent. They fit most staircases, straight, curved or even spiral and when installed on the inside stairway path, your stairs remain accessible for your family and friends.

If you require any assistance at all with your stairlift grant please don’t hesitate to contact us. Email us at showroom@irishstairlifts.ie or carl@irishstairlifts.ie and our experienced team will be able to provide you with all the information you need. We know that the process may seem confusing but we will do all we can to help you with your stairlift grants.
