About Stairlift Guru

Stairlift Guru is an independent UK stairlift information website run by Whito Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 10918465). We help people understand stairlifts, compare suppliers, and make informed decisions about home mobility.

We were founded because too many families told us the same thing: they felt overwhelmed by stairlift sales tactics, unclear pricing, and conflicting information. Our goal is to change that by providing clear, well-researched guidance that puts you in control.

Who we are

Stairlift Guru is run by a small UK-based editorial team with direct experience in the home mobility sector. Our content is written and reviewed by people who understand how stairlifts work in real UK homes, what affects suitability and cost, and what questions matter most when speaking to suppliers.

We have spent years speaking with stairlift users, their families, occupational therapists, and industry professionals to build the most practical and trustworthy stairlift resource available online.

How we create our content

Every guide on Stairlift Guru is written with one goal: to answer the real questions people have about stairlifts, clearly and without bias. Our editorial process involves:

• Research from authoritative UK sources including gov.uk, the NHS, Age UK, and the British Standards Institution
• Practical knowledge gathered from years of researching stairlifts, speaking with users, and reviewing supplier practices across the UK
• Regular content reviews to ensure pricing guidance, grant information, and supplier details remain accurate and up to date
• Fact-checking against official sources for all claims about VAT relief, Disabled Facilities Grants, safety standards, and building regulations

Our independence

We are not owned by, or affiliated with, any stairlift manufacturer, supplier, or installer. We do not sell stairlifts directly. That independence means we can explain options honestly, highlight potential drawbacks, and focus on what matters to you rather than what benefits a particular brand.

When we compare stairlift companies or discuss stairlift prices, our recommendations are based on our own research and editorial judgement, not commercial relationships.

How Stairlift Guru is funded

Stairlift Guru is funded through a combination of advertising, affiliate partnerships, and lead referrals with UK stairlift suppliers. When readers request quotes or contact suppliers through our website, we may earn a referral fee.

These commercial relationships do not influence our editorial content. We do not accept payment to promote a specific stairlift brand or recommend one supplier over another. Our editorial team operates independently from our commercial partnerships, and we will always prioritise honest, useful guidance, even when that guidance may discourage a purchase.

You can read more about this in our editorial policy.

What our guidance covers

Our guides are built around the real questions people face when considering a stairlift. Key areas include:

• Understanding your options: stairlift advice hub, how stairlifts work, straight stairlifts, and curved stairlifts
• Costs and pricing: stairlift prices, straight stairlift costs, curved stairlift costs, and rental options
• Grants and funding: stairlift grants, Disabled Facilities Grant, and who qualifies
• Choosing a supplier: stairlift companies, how to choose, and how to check a company
• Servicing and ownership: stairlift servicing, servicing costs, and what to do if it breaks down
• Selling and removal: selling a stairlift and stairlift removal

A note on our guidance

Stairlift Guru provides general information to support your understanding and research. We do not offer medical, legal, or financial advice, and our content should not be treated as a substitute for professional assessment.

Stairlift suitability, pricing, and safety depend on individual circumstances, property layout, and user needs. We always recommend getting an in-home assessment from a qualified installer, and consulting with an occupational therapist or your GP where appropriate.

Prices shown on Stairlift Guru are indicative guides based on our research, not quotes. Final costs always depend on an in-home survey.
