Frequently asked questions: |
| Q: |
| Are you anything to do with Dolphin Bathrooms? |
| A: |
| No, we are a totally independent group of companies
specialising in stairlifts and equipment for the less
able. |
|
| Q: |
| Do stairlifts fit to the walls or the stairs? |
| A: |
| All currently manufactured stairlifts fit to the tread
of the stairs, except one or two wheelchair stair lifts
(mainly for public buildings).
|
|
| Q: |
| What happens if there is a power cut? |
| A: |
| The lift will stop, unless you have a battery powered lift, which we provide.
|
|
| Q: |
| How do I charge the batteries, if I buy a battery powered
lift? |
| A: |
| Some manufacturers have a constant charge, others automatically
recharge when the lift is at the top or bottom of the
stairs.
|
|
| Q: |
| Are there any cheaper alternatives? |
| A: |
| We can supply a reconditioned chair and motor and have
a new track made to measure. In some cases a folding platform
may be used to bridge a step or two at the top. Whilst
stairlift pricing is important it is vital that you choose
a stairlift that is suitable for your needs.
|
|
| Q: |
| Do I have to pay for a quotation? |
| A: |
| No. Most suppliers will provide free quotations. However,
beware of hard sales techniques, special "one off"
offers etc. They are not always what they seem. |
