Our 1100 was installed in May 2021 brand new, after a few months of trouble Handicare replaced it with another brand new one, this one was a work when it wants to unit, bearing in mind on average it was used one day a week, Christmas day was one of days it did not work.
Enough is enough, tomorrow it is going to be taken out and taken to the dump where it belongs. R. Watson.

Loved how quickly they sent surveyor to the house and then even more happy they installed the stairlift within 3 working days. The installation guys were very quick and cheery too. I would recommend Handicare anytime. Plus they're great stairlifts

A DISASTER

A DISASTER
This is a Review after 6 months. From the start this has been a Disaster. Very carefully measured the max area involved and marked these clearly on the skirting. Not complied with without problems. Next issue is that various people from different companies come along with different jobs - cutting the floor, installing and then fitting. Not seamless - various time delays and final fitting was poor with carpet damage and no phone. Left to arrange this myself - with could not do and an engineer eventually said the whole phone need replacing. Carpet still not fixed properly.
Just one of many problems. Now Alarm has gone and no idea why. Getting an engineer out is hard at this time of year. Cant recite all the Calls and emails relating to this installation.
This is not what I would expect in a very trying situation and I would not recommend to anyone.

Excellent caring service from all…I

Excellent caring service from all members of staff at Handicare. The stairlift has made an enormous difference, allowing my husband to safely get up and down the stairs. From initial call to measuring up and installation we were treated with kindness and respect. Many, many thanks Handicare.

Handicare certainly care.

From first contact with Handicare stairlifts it was clear they do care.
Their warm welcome, all relevant information, staff and efficiency are very good. The chair lift is now installed and Dad has found it so easy to use despite having severe arthritis in his hands. It looks really neat was installed so quickly and all was explained and a demo all given before he left.

Absence of communication

Stairlift was installed by Handicare via AgeCo for my late mother. Seemed to work OK while she was alive but, now she has passed away, I need to get it removed before the house clearance and sale. However they are not responding to my telephone calls, emails or communications via the online form and despite what they say on their website re removal.
