Stairlifts - New

For a limited time Dolphin Mobility are able to supply and install a new Minivator Simplicity 950 Series stairlift for only £1399, provided it is on a straight staircase and there is a nearby power point.


Alternatively, if you prefer the looks of the Brooks Lincoln Stairlifts, the price is the same. The Brooks Stairlift is the same as the Acorn Stairlifts that you may have seen advertised.



Should you be unsure as to the suitability of either of these stairlifts, or are in any doubt as to whether it will fit your stairs, Dolphin will happily arrange for a sales advisor to call and discuss their entire range with you.

Please note that this special price only applies if you do not need a sales advisor to call.

David Starkey, well known for his TV documentaries on historical royals, discovered that Henry VIII used a bespoke 'stairthrone' during research.

Stannah Stairlifts Child Seat

The new Child Seat from Stannah Stairlifts can be tailored to the child's particular needs and size, and can be made to fit practically any type of stairs - straight, curved or narrow.

Working in partnership with R82 - a leading paediatric mobility specialist - Stannah have designed a seat specifically for children, ensuring comfort and safety for a child, and peace of mind for a parent. The ability to swivel at the top of the stairs means the stairlift acts as a safety barrier, blocking off the stairwell and making child handling safer. A powered swivel option is also available.
