Freedom Stairlifts supplies and installs stairlifts across Dorset from our base in Dorchester. We help people find a safe, practical way to use their stairs, with clear advice and a free home survey before any recommendation is made.
Our stairlift range includes new straight, curved and outdoor stairlifts, together with reconditioned curved stairlifts where a suitable system is available. If you are looking for a stairlift in Dorset for yourself or a relative, we will explain the options and answer your questions without pressure.
Local stairlift helpAs local installers of stairlifts, we visit homes throughout Dorset. A home visit lets us see the actual staircase, talk with the person who will use the stairlift and identify any access or fitting considerations.
Our advice starts with what is practical in your home. We then explain the suitable stairlift options, what the installation will involve and the next steps, so you can make an informed decision in your own time.
The right stairlift depends on the shape and width of the stairs, the available space at each landing and the needs of the person using it. That is why we assess the staircase before recommending a particular type or model.
Freedom supplies quality stairlifts for several types of stairs. The four main choices in our range are outlined below, with fuller details available on each product-category page.
Straight stairlifts are intended for a single straight flight without bends or intermediate landings. Where the staircase and user requirements are suitable, a straight stairlift is often the simplest option to assess and fit.

Curved stairlifts are designed for staircases with bends, corners, half-landings or more complex layouts. The rail must follow the route of the stairs, so careful measurements form an important part of the survey.

Outdoor stairlifts can make suitable garden, porch or other external steps easier to use. Freedom can provide straight and curved outdoor options, subject to the route, measurements and survey findings.

Freedom currently offers reconditioned curved stairlifts where a suitable system can be matched to the staircase. Availability varies, and a survey is needed to check that the equipment, rail and property are a practical match.
View Reconditioned Curved StairliftsHow much does a stairlift cost in Dorset?
The cost depends on the staircase, the type of stairlift, the rail required and the chosen specification. We confirm the suitable approach after the survey and provide a quotation based on your home rather than using a one-size-fits-all figure.
During the free survey, we check the route of the stairs, including the width, turns, steps, landings and space at the top and bottom. We also consider access, fixing points, power requirements and any fitting issues that may affect the recommendation.
We will discuss who will use the stairlift and explain which options appear suitable. You can ask questions, compare the relevant range and understand what would happen next. There is no pressure to place an order during the visit.
Once you have chosen a suitable stairlift and availability has been confirmed, we agree the installation arrangements with you. The fitting time depends on the stairlift type and the staircase, and we explain what to expect before the order is confirmed.
The installation is planned around the survey measurements and the agreed specification. Once the stairlift has been fitted, we can answer questions about using it and remain available if you need to contact us afterwards.
How long does stairlift installation normally take?
Straight, curved and outdoor installations have different requirements. We will give you an expected fitting time for your chosen stairlift rather than promising the same timescale for every home.
