Our customer loved her home, but the steep front steps were becoming a daily struggle. While she could walk short distances, climbing those steps increased her risk of falling. As a result, she often avoided leaving the house—missing hospital and dental appointments and opportunities to see friends and family.

When she began researching mobility solutions, the traditional options were costly and time-consuming. A standard wheelchair lift or stairlift was quoted between £14,000–£15,000 and would require major construction, taking six months or more. A large external ramp came in around £11,000 and would have taken up a significant portion of her outdoor space.

While looking for better solutions, she discovered Motorstep, a motorised standing stairlift designed to provide safe, step-free access for people who can stand but have difficulty climbing stairs. After speaking with our team, she found that the unit could be placed beside her existing steps with minimal preparation.

To ensure stability, she had a local builder fill in one side of the steps. Once the standing stairlift was delivered, it was quickly set up—allowing her to stand on the platform and gently rise to the front door level at the push of a button.

The Cost: A Fraction of Traditional Options

The total cost for both the Motorstep unit and the minor building work came to just £2,500—a fraction of the price of conventional stairlifts or ramps. Installation was fast, discreet, and didn’t require any permanent structural changes. If she ever chooses to remove it, the process is quick and easy.
