At Anglian Lifts, we install, maintain and repair both straight and curved stairlifts for customers who want safe, reliable and practical access around their homes. Whether it is a simple straight stairlift on a single flight of stairs or a more complex curved stairlift designed around corners, landings and tight spaces, our approach is always the same: survey the property properly, recommend the right product, install it carefully and support it afterwards.
The images shown here are from a brand new Thyssen Flow X curved stairlift installation completed yesterday. This is a great example of how a well-designed curved stairlift can fit neatly into a home without taking over the hallway or landing.
Straight and curved stairlift installation
A straight stairlift is generally suitable where the staircase runs directly from the bottom to the top without bends, turns or intermediate landings. These installations are usually more straightforward because the rail follows one straight line.
Curved stairlifts are different. They are designed specifically for staircases with bends, fan-shaped steps, half-landings, narrow turns or more complex layouts. The rail is made to follow the shape of the staircase, which means the survey and installation need to be accurate.
This is where experience matters. A curved stairlift is not just about getting from A to B. The position of the chair, the parking points, the rail route, the footrest clearance and the way the lift sits within the home all need to be considered. On this Thyssen Flow X installation, the rail follows the stairs cleanly, parks neatly and allows the staircase and landing to remain practical for everyday use.
Showcasing the Thyssen Flow X curved stairlift
The Thyssen Flow X is one of the most capable curved stairlifts available and is particularly suited to homes where space is limited or where the staircase has a more challenging layout.
One of its biggest advantages is the way the chair and rail work together around corners and bends. The Flow X can travel smoothly around curved sections of staircase while keeping the user in a comfortable and secure position. This makes it a strong option for properties where a standard straight stairlift simply would not work.
The installation shown in the photographs demonstrates this well. The staircase has turns and limited space in places, but the stairlift has been fitted in a way that looks tidy, practical and sympathetic to the home. The rail curves around the landing, the chair parks neatly, and the overall finish is clean and discreet.
Benefits of having a stairlift installed
A stairlift can make a significant difference for someone who is finding the stairs difficult, tiring or unsafe. It allows the customer to continue using the whole home, rather than avoiding upstairs rooms or considering moving property.
The main benefits include improved safety on the stairs, greater independence, less physical strain and reassurance for family members. For many customers, a stairlift is not just a piece of equipment; it is what allows them to stay in the home they know.
With a curved stairlift such as the Flow X, the benefit is even greater on more complex staircases because it can be designed around the actual layout of the property. That means the solution fits the home, rather than forcing the home to fit the product.
Maintenance and servicing
Once a stairlift has been installed, regular maintenance is important. A stairlift is a mechanical and electrical product that is used frequently, often every day. Servicing helps keep it running smoothly, identifies wear before it becomes a breakdown and gives the customer confidence that the lift is safe to use.
During a service, we check the operation of the stairlift, the rail, the carriage, the batteries, the charging points, the safety edges, the seat, the footrest and the controls. We also look for signs of wear, unusual noises or anything that could affect reliability.
Good maintenance is not about waiting for something to fail. It is about keeping the stairlift dependable.
Stairlift repairs
Anglian Lifts also carries out stairlift repairs on both straight and curved stairlifts. Common issues can include charging problems, worn rollers, battery faults, remote control issues, obstruction faults, seat swivel problems or general running issues.
Because we work with stairlifts regularly, we understand how important a quick and practical response is. When a stairlift stops working, it can leave someone unable to safely access part of their home. That is why repair support and aftercare are such an important part of what we do.
We do not just install and walk away. We install, maintain and repair stairlifts properly.
