Curved Stairlifts in Colchester
Made-to-measure rails for staircases with turns, landings or a spiral.
What to know before you choose
If your stairs turn a corner, have a half landing or wind around, you need a curved stairlift. The rail is manufactured specifically for your staircase after a detailed survey, so every bend and angle is followed exactly.
Older Colchester homes, from the Victorian houses of Lexden to the waterside cottages of Wivenhoe, often have staircases like this. A curved lift costs more than a straight one because of the bespoke rail, but it is a well-proven way to stay in a much-loved home.
Who it suits
- Staircases with one or more turns, quarter or half landings
- Spiral or winder stairs
- Homes with two flights joined by an intermediate landing
- People who need a lift that parks neatly out of the way at the top or bottom
What it costs
New curved stairlifts usually start around £4,500 and typically cost £5,500 to £7,000, rising past £8,000 for several turns or unusual geometry. Modular kits sit around £5,250 and bespoke rails around £5,800. Reconditioned curved lifts start from about £4,450. See curved stairlift cost explained.
How it works
Because the rail is made to order, allow a few weeks between the survey and fitting. Installation itself usually takes half a day to a day. We will tell you the timeline honestly at the survey.
Curved Stairlifts: common questions
Why are curved stairlifts so much more expensive?
Each rail is designed and built for one staircase, with every bend cut to match. A straight rail is a standard part, so it costs far less to make.
Can a curved stairlift be reused in another house?
Rarely. The rail is shaped to your stairs, so resale value is low. Plan on it staying with the property.
How long does a curved stairlift take to arrive?
The rail is manufactured after the survey, so expect a few weeks before fitting. Fitting itself is usually a day or less.
