If stairs are starting to feel like an obstacle, a stairlift could make all the difference in helping you stay independent and safe in your own home. One of the UK’s most trusted names in stairlifts is Companion Stairlifts — offering quality, comfort, and a personal touch backed by a rock-solid promise to every customer.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how much a Companion Stairlift costs, what’s included, and how their 8-Point Promise ensures you always come first.
What Is a Companion Stairlift?
A Companion Stairlift is a simple and effective way to move up and down the stairs at home without worry. Whether you have a straight staircase or a winding, curved one, there’s a model that fits your needs. Every lift includes easy-to-use controls, safety belts, swivel seats, and smooth stops and starts.
From initial survey to installation, Companion handles everything — and they do it with care.
How Much Does a Stairlift from Companion Cost?
Companion believes in honest pricing — no hidden fees or surprises. Here's a quick idea of what to expect:
-
Straight stairlifts start from £1,895
-
Curved stairlifts begin around £3,500 (as these require custom-made rails)
The final cost will depend on your staircase, the model you choose, and any optional features. You’ll always receive a free, no-obligation home survey to determine what’s best for your home and mobility needs.
Looking for a short-term option? Companion also offers rental stairlifts starting at £10 a week, perfect for temporary recovery or trial use.

A lot more than just the lift itself! With Companion, the cost of your stairlift includes:
-
A free home assessment and quote
-
Professional installation by trained engineers
-
A full warranty and service package
-
Access to 24/7 customer support

Curved vs. Straight Stairlift Costs
A straight stairlift typically uses a standard rail, so it’s quicker and more affordable. Curved stairlifts require a custom-built rail to fit the turns and angles of your staircase, which increases the cost and time for installation. That’s why Companion takes detailed measurements using advanced photo-survey technology to ensure a perfect fit.
Buy, Rent or Recondition?
Depending on your needs, you have flexible options:
-
Buy New – Ideal for long-term use and comes with the full warranty and service.
-
Rent – Great for temporary needs like post-surgery or while recovering.
-
Reconditioned – Save up to 50% while still receiving a quality-assured, safety-checked lift.
All Companion reconditioned stairlifts go through thorough safety inspections and include warranties, so you don’t miss out on peace of mind.
