This page gathers the data we publish about stairlifts in the UK: what they cost, how grants are funded, what companies publish about themselves, and the wider figures on falls and ageing at home. Each page linked here states where its figures come from and when they were collected. Where we compiled a dataset ourselves, the page explains how.

How we research
Our research method explains how we collect and check prices and advice, and how the site is paid. The editorial policy covers sourcing and corrections. We do not invent figures. Where something is not published, we say so.
Quoting our figures
If you quote a figure from one of these pages, please link to the page it comes from and give the date shown on it, because several of these datasets are updated. If you think a figure is wrong, tell us and point us to the source.
