The approach
From the first phone call to the repair
1. Describe the fault
Call and speak directly with the engineer. Tell us the model, any display code and what the stairlift is doing.
2. Investigate the cause
We can check relevant batteries, charging, connections and safety circuits to establish the cause before recommending a repair.
3. Agree the work
We'll discuss findings, suitable repairs and the price of parts before fitting them. If a component needs ordering, we'll explain the next steps.
No fault is too big to investigate.Every repair starts with understanding the problem. While not every fault can be repaired on the first visit, we'll give you a clear explanation and practical options.
Clear pricing: breakdown call-outs are from £80, depending on location and model. Replacement parts and any additional work are quoted separately and agreed before proceeding.
Servicing & maintenance
Acorn stairlift servicing and battery replacement
Not every issue requires a major repair. Regular checks can help identify worn batteries, poor charging connections, loose fixings and developing faults before they cause an unexpected breakdown.
Routine safety and operation checks
Inspecting safety edges, swivel and arm mechanisms, mechanical fixings, rail condition and travel performance, as appropriate for the model.
Battery condition and charging
Checking battery voltage, performance under load and the charging system where accessible; replacing compatible batteries when required.
