Q. I have had my strairlift for the last 4 years and now the warranty has ran out. I am therefire looking for someone who would supply me with a reasonable annual service contract as I feel my suppliers prices are extremely pricey

A. You can purchase extended warranty for your stairlift from several companies; one is First Senior Insurance (part of Norwich Union). If it is a straight lift you can expect to pay about £110 a year and if it is curved £140 a year. This will cover callout, labour & parts.This is cheaper than getting a service contract from some of the bigger manufactures’ who make their money from the service contacts so are extortionately  priced.I would not expect to be charged in excess of £60 for a service. We currently charge £56.00.
