Companion Stairlifts Removal And Buyback Options

If you no longer need your stairlift, you can organise a stairlift removal with a professional. It’s highly recommended that you hire a qualified engineer to conduct the removal to ensure that it is done in a safe and efficient manner, especially if you’re planning on selling your used stairlift.
