Your Questions Answered
Straight answers to the questions people ask us most about custom wheelchairs.
What makes a custom wheelchair different?
It's built around your body, your needs and how you live, with choices such as seat size, seating support, controls and powered features. It's the right route if a standard chair doesn't quite fit or support you.
How much does a custom wheelchair cost?
Every chair is specified to order, so the price depends on the base model and the options you choose. We'll price it up clearly for you after your assessment, with no pressure. If you have a long-term condition, you may be able to buy it VAT-free.
Do I need an assessment?
We'd always recommend one, and it's free. We'll come to you, take measurements and look at how you'll use the chair at home and out and about. Call 01789 339 738 to book.
How long does a custom wheelchair take to arrive?
Custom chairs are built to order by the manufacturer, so it takes longer than buying from stock. We'll tell you the expected time when you order and keep you updated.
Can I use Motability?
Yes. We're Motability approved, so if you receive a qualifying mobility allowance you can use it towards a new scooter or electric wheelchair. Call us and we'll talk you through how it works.
