The Honest Truth About Stairlifts Costs

Why an Online Quote Can’t Measure Your Safety

Hi, I’m Peter. If you’re reading this, you or a loved one are probably looking for a way to stay safe in the home you love.

I often get asked, ‘Can you just give me a price over the phone?’

I wish I could! But the truth is, a stairlift isn’t a toaster. It’s a piece of construction equipment customized to your specific hallway. The ‘bait and switch’ ads you see online will promise you a low price, but they don’t know your home.

At Mobility 1st, we do things differently. We don’t want to sell you a lift; we want to solve a mobility problem. That starts with a simple, honest conversation and a tape measure.

Why One Size Doesn’t Fit All (The Variables)

We don’t do ‘guesstimates’ because precision matters for your safety. Here are the 4 main variables we look at during our visit:

  • The Staircase Shape: Is it perfectly straight? Does it have a landing? Does it curve at the bottom? (Curved rails are custom-made, while straight rails are stocked).
  • The Obstructions: Do you have a radiator, a doorway, or a narrow hall at the bottom? We need to ensure the chair parks safely away from tripping hazards.
  • The User: We measure you, not just the stairs. We look at knee-to-wall clearance and ensure the seat height is comfortable for your specific mobility needs.
  • The Power Source: We check for outlets to ensure you have reliable battery charging, so your lift works even if the power goes out.

The Mobility 1st Promise: No Pressure, Just Solutions

We are your neighbors here in London Ontario, not a call center overseas.

  • No Robocalls: We never sell your data.
  • No “Hard Close”: We give you the quote and let you decide in your own time.
  • Local Support: If you ever need service, you call us directly.

What our neighbors are saying: “I found mobility 1st to be an excellent company. They installed a vertical platform lift and reinstalled a stair lift for me. The level of expertise and caring shown by James and Mike was outstanding. James made sure I fully understood how to use the lift safely and explained exactly how he had installed it, and it’s safety features. I have progressive mobility issues, so I will definitely be using this company again as the need arises and I would highly recommend them”
