A Stannah stairlift including the riser rail [ approx 12' in length] is for sale. It is currently in good working order and may be seen by arrangement. The seat cover appears tatty but in fact are two scorch marks created by inadvertently placing a hot vacuum cleaner on it; someone thrifty could easily knit or source one. It has a new battery [ for back up ] and new switches. It can swivel and has a seat belt for added safety. For sale at £500. Please contact Robert on 01295 750 202 or in person.
