Hello, does anyone have any experience of lifts installed in a residential property? Not a a stairlift. Recomendations welcome,ta jim
mum in law has a home lift installed , had it for years . its been an absolute Godsend . mind you , don`t stand underneath it when she is coming down !! you might have a big headache . stairlifts have their downsides and these can really be great
you can get them and yes if youve room for one and you can get a chair in out etc then they can be a great option. a couple of folk near me had them installed, although i didnt fancy it personally.. way too small.. ive a stairlift which is great
one good thing with ceiling lifts is i think they are mains powered , with the stairlifts there is a battery i think ?
yeah stair lifts are battery, but the charger is on mains and always on.. in event of a power cut, you will have a few up n downs before it goes off. think wjhen my charger went once i had abot 6 uses before battery lost power.. there is a hand wind mech too on most incase of failure
thanks grant , good to know . few years back i painted the narrowest stairs ever with a stair lift in situ !! quite a challenge i can tell you . they are great though
Ta for the replies , mum selling up and looking for a bungalow now:doh:
good idea , are they affordable there ? they are crazy prices in brum. helping a friend in same situation
What is it with Bungalows?
Awful things, IMO. Cost twice as much as a properly constructed 2 storey house. :scratch:
The air which we breathe can't flow up.
My brother died very quickly after being moved into a Bungalow.
Much as I hate height's, you gotta find a balance.
I want one of those Paris apartments with a first-floor balcony. Gaze upon Notre Dame and Sacre Couer, and you are golden. :)
indeed steve ... but you need assistance to get upstairs ..... hence the thread !!
