Why Sell or Trade In Your Stairlift?

There are many reasons why people want to sell or part-exchange their stairlift. You might relate to one of the following:

• A loved one has moved into care or passed away, and their stairlift is no longer needed.

• You’ve upgraded to a newer or different stairlift model, and want to recoup some of the cost.

• You’re moving house, and the current stairlift doesn’t suit the new home.

• The stairlift is no longer needed, thanks to improved mobility or changes in living arrangements.

• Some people may be struggling with reduced mobility and need a stairlift to overcome these challenges and regain independence.

No matter the reason, you deserve a hassle-free experience with a company you can trust, and that’s where we come in. Remember, age is just a number and should never limit your independence or your decision to sell or trade in a stairlift.

Our Commitment to Buying Back Stairlifts

At Multicare Mobility, we’re committed to sustainability and accessibility. That’s why we offer a used stairlift buy-back service and part-exchange options to help you make the most of your investment. Here’s what you can expect from us:

• Fair, honest valuation of your stairlift based on its age, model, brand, and condition.

• Professional removal by experienced engineers, no damage to your home, no stress.

• Flexible trade-in options, helping you upgrade to a newer or more suitable model, with installation that can follow promptly after the purchase of a reconditioned stairlift.

• Support every step of the way, from initial enquiry to final pick-up or installation.

Benefits of Reconditioned Stairlifts

Reconditioned stairlifts are an excellent solution for anyone seeking a safe, reliable, and affordable way to regain independence at home. Designed for individuals with limited mobility, a reconditioned stairlift allows you to navigate stairs with confidence and ease, whether your staircase is straight, curved, or even heavy-duty.

Cost-Effective Without Compromise

 Reconditioned models offer significant savings compared to buying new, making them an attractive option for those looking to improve their quality of life without stretching their budget. 

Despite the lower price, every reconditioned stairlift undergoes a thorough inspection and refurbishment process by our expert team. This includes replacing worn or damaged parts, updating upholstery, and ensuring all safety sensors and remote control features are working perfectly. The result is a stairlift that meets the highest safety standards and delivers reliable performance, day after day.

Versatile Solutions for Any Staircase

Reconditioned stairlifts are available for a wide range of staircases, including straight staircases and more complex curved staircases. No matter the shape or size of your stairs, there’s a reconditioned stairlift fit to suit your needs. Installation is quick and efficient, often completed in just a few hours, so you can start enjoying full use of your home again with minimal disruption.

Compact, Stylish, and Packed With Safety Features

The compact design of modern reconditioned stairlifts means they take up very little space, allowing for a stylish and unobtrusive addition to your home. Advanced features such as safety sensors and remote control operation provide extra peace of mind, ensuring you can travel upstairs safely and securely, free from worry or struggle.

Independence Through Simplicity and Convenience

Choosing a reconditioned stairlift is not just about affordability; it’s about convenience, simplicity, and the freedom to remain independent in your own home. With a wide range of reconditioned models available, you can find a solution that accommodates your specific needs, whether you require a straight or curved stairlift or even a heavy-duty option.

Refurbished to the Highest Standards

In summary, reconditioned stairlifts offer a reliable, cost-effective, and stylish way to overcome the challenge of stairs. Backed by the expertise of our dedicated team, each stairlift is refurbished to the highest standards, giving you the confidence to take the first step towards a safer, more independent life, no matter your age or the layout of your staircase.

What Types of Stairlifts Do We Accept?

We accept a wide range of second-hand stairlifts, particularly from the trusted brands we work with. These include:

• Straight stairlifts

• Curved stairlifts

• Outdoor stairlifts

These stairlift types are available to meet different needs, including various mobility requirements.

Depending on the condition and age, we’re often able to offer either a cash buy-back or part-exchange discount toward a new model.

What Affects the Value of Your Used Stairlift?

Not all stairlifts are equal when it comes to resale or reuse. Here are the main factors that affect how much your used stairlift could be worth:

Stairlifts that are built for a long lifetime and durability tend to retain more value.

1. Brand and Model

Some stairlift brands are in higher demand, and spare parts are more readily available, meaning we’re more likely to offer a higher return. Trusted brands like Handicare, Brooks, and Acorn retain value well.

2. Age and Condition

A stairlift that’s under 5 years old, in good working order, and regularly maintained will generally have more value than an older unit.

3. Type of Stairlift

Straight stairlifts are more adaptable and often easier to resell. Curved models, which are custom-fitted to a specific staircase, are more challenging to reuse without modifications.

4. Service History

If you’ve kept up with servicing and have maintenance records, that’s a big plus, especially for refurbished resale.

Our Easy Process for Selling or Trading In Your Stairlift

We’ve refined our process to make things easy and transparent. Here’s how it works:

When installing a stairlift, it is carefully placed on the staircase itself, not attached to the wall, to ensure safety and proper functionality.

1. Contact Us for a Free Valuation

Give us a call or fill out our quick online form with details about your stairlift. The more info you can provide (brand, model, condition, location), the more accurate we can be.

2. Receive a No-Obligation Quote

Our friendly team will assess your stairlift’s value and give you a quote for either buy-back or part-exchange.

3. Arrange Safe, Professional Removal

If you accept our offer, we’ll schedule a convenient time for one of our qualified engineers to remove the stairlift, cleanly and safely.

4. Payment or Part-Exchange

Once removed, we’ll issue your payment or apply the agreed value as a discount on your new stairlift.

5. Upgrade With Ease (Optional)

Trading in? We’ll help you choose a modern, reliable replacement stairlift and take care of everything from survey to installation, including removing and reinstalling the lift if needed during home upgrades or renovations.

Can I Sell My Stairlift If It’s Not Working?

Great question – and one we hear often.

Yes, in many cases, we can still offer value for used stairlifts that are no longer working. We have access to parts, engineers, and the ability to refurbish units that would otherwise go to waste.

Even if your stairlift isn’t in full working order, it may still be suitable for:

• Parts salvage

• Refurbishment

• Donated accessibility programmes
  
  

It’s always worth getting in touch; you might be surprised at what we can offer.

Don’t Let Your Stairlift Go to Landfill

Unfortunately, many stairlifts that could have been reused end up being scrapped or fly-tipped. That’s a real shame, both for the environment and for others who could benefit.

When you choose Multicare, you’re choosing a responsible, eco-conscious route. We prioritise refurbishment and reuse, ensuring that all second-hand stairlifts are secure, meet safety standards, and give a new lease on life to help more people access affordable mobility solutions.
