Another fantastic installation completed today in Derbyshire! 🙌

This beautiful AccessBDD Flow X stairlift was fitted on a very narrow staircase and the results look absolutely fantastic — we couldn’t be happier!

The customer chose the Flow X specifically because of its clever ASL (Advanced Swivel & Levelling) feature, which allows the user to travel upstairs backwards when space is limited. This makes it the perfect solution for narrow staircases while still providing maximum comfort and safety.

✅ Compact design
✅ Ideal for narrow stairs
✅ Smooth and safe travel
✅ Includes 2 years warranty

A brilliant transformation and another happy customer! 😊

Another reliable reconditioned stairlift installed today in Ilkeston 💙

Our customer requested for the stairlift to be fitted on the right-hand side of the staircase, along with a hinged track due to the open-plan layout at the bottom of the stairs. The hinge track is a great solution as it folds away safely, helping to prevent any trip hazards and keeping the space clear.

All of our reconditioned stairlifts are fully tested, professionally installed, and come with a 12-month warranty for complete peace of mind.

Another happy customer today 😊

We’ve just installed a manual swivel stairlift with a powered hinge rail, making access safer and easier at home.

The powered hinge was the perfect solution due to a doorway at the bottom of the stairs, allowing the rail to lift out of the way and keep access clear.

It’s always a pleasure helping lovely customers stay independent in the place they love most.

What is the folding rail (hinge rail)?

The HomeGlide Extra with folding rail is a premium stairlift solution designed for homes where space is limited at the bottom of the stairs. The hinge rail automatically folds neatly out of the way when not in use, preventing obstruction of doorways or walkways. Combined with the powered swivel seat and footrest, it offers a safe, convenient, and fully user-friendly stairlift system.

✨Benefits of an automatic hinge ✨

- The rail folds automatically when the lift is parked keeping hallways and entrances fully accessible

- No physical effort required

- The powered hinge rail is ideal for users with limited mobility

- No need to bend down or lift anything where as with a manual hinge, you must physically lift the rail

- No reliance on the previous user to reset anything

- No risk of leaving the rail blocking a door

Ideal for users with:

• Arthritis
• Back problems
• Limited strength

Lift ram seals (in hydraulic lifts) prevent hydraulic oil from escaping the cylinder. When these seals begin to wear or fail, leaks can occur, affecting performance and safety. Early detection helps prevent costly repairs and downtime.

Signs Your Lift Ram Seals May Be Leaking

Oil Around the Ram or Cylinder
Visible oil on the ram, cylinder head, or surrounding pit area is often the first sign of a leaking seal.

Oil in the Lift Pit
If you notice oil pooling in the pit or on the pit floor, it could indicate a seal leak allowing hydraulic fluid to escape.

Lift Slowly Drifting Downwards
A worn ram seal may allow oil to bypass the piston, causing the lift car to gradually drift down when stationary.

Reduced Lift Performance
The lift may struggle to maintain speed or feel less responsive due to loss of hydraulic pressure.

Frequent Oil Top-Ups Required
If the hydraulic tank needs topping up more often than usual, there may be a leak somewhere in the system.

Unusual Noises During Operation
Changes in sound, such as whining or inconsistent movement, can indicate hydraulic pressure issues caused by leaks.

Why It’s Important to Address Quickly

Ignoring leaking ram seals can lead to:
• Reduced lift reliability
• Potential environmental contamination
• Increased wear on hydraulic components
• More expensive repairs if the issue worsens

What to Do If You Suspect a Leak

Arrange a professional lift inspection
Check the lift pit and ram regularly
Address leaks early to avoid major hydraulic repairs

Regular servicing helps ensure seals remain in good condition and your lift operates safely and efficiently.
