Widely specified across Blackpool's residential properties, commercial premises, offices, and listed buildings. Suitable for both homeowners and businesses looking to meet Equality Act and DDA access requirements, with solutions available for straight and curved staircase configurations throughout Blackpool and the wider Fylde Coast.
This is one of the most common questions we receive. A stairlift is suitable for ambulant users who can transfer from a wheelchair to a seat, but it does not accommodate a wheelchair on the staircase itself. A home lift — particularly a through-floor platform lift — allows wheelchair users to remain in their chair throughout, making it the preferred solution for full-time wheelchair users and those planning ahead for changing mobility needs.
For Blackpool homeowners in single-storey properties or bungalows, a vertical platform step lift may be a more suitable option for overcoming steps at entrances or between split levels.
Travels vertically through a floor opening between two levels. Compact and competitively priced, this is the most widely installed home lift type across Blackpool's residential properties. Suitable for wheelchair users. Leading models include the Ava Swift, Ava Reach, and Pollock 20 Series. Installation typically takes one to two days.
A stylish, full-cabin alternative to the open platform lift. Models such as the Ava Rise and Pollock Residential Elevator feature glass panels, internal lighting, and a fold-down seat. Popular in larger detached properties across St Annes, Lytham, and Poulton-le-Fylde. Suitable for ambulant users and wheelchair users.
Ideal for properties with one to three steps rather than a full floor change. Self-contained, quick to install, and available in indoor and outdoor versions. A practical choice for Blackpool's many bungalow and ground-floor flat conversions.

We assess your needs, identify the most suitable lift type and manufacturer for your property, and connect you with a vetted local installer — all at no cost to you. Our installers are checked for credentials, manufacturer accreditations, and installation track record before we refer them to any customer.
If you have had quotes elsewhere and are not sure whether you are getting the right advice or the best price, we can help. A second opinion costs nothing and could make a significant difference to the outcome.
