Slim Handicare Stairlift in Drumcondra, Dublin 9.

We were recently contacted by a customer who required an urgent installation of a Handicare stairlift in Drumcondra. Our customer was undergoing cancer treatment which has greatly reduced her mobility at times. She felt she needed a stairlift as it made her feel safer when using the stairs and wanted to keep using her upstairs rooms.
Our client contacted us based on a recommendation from a previous customer and was absolutely delighted with the service she received. Her home was surveyed using our latest Handicare 4D stairlift software and 5 days later, we installed the Handicare Stairlift in Drumcondra.

Double stairlifts in Dundalk

Our installation took a packed delivery last week to complete a double installation of two curved stairlifts in Dundalk. This home has two separate stairs and the home owner needed the addition of stairlifts to help him reach the different areas of his home. The customer opted for the two inside stairlifts rather than deface the outside of his home which is over 200 years old.

This client originally got in touch through our customer service team who directed him to the Dundalk area representative, Enda. Like all our stairlift queries, our area rep called to the home to meet the client, understand their requirements and to assess the stairs. Once Enda gathered all the information he needed, he carried out a free no obligation assessment to provide the client with a quote. During the assessment, Enda uses a camera and 3D technology to capture the angles of the stairs and the length of the staircase. This allows Enda to show the client what a stairlift would look like on the stairs. Enda then discussed the different styles of curved stairlifts available to the customer which would also meet his requirements of needing two stairlifts in Dundalk.

To fit in with the stylish décor of the home, the client went for two Handicare Rembrandt stairlifts. Unlike other stairlifts, the Rembrandt stairlift is specifically designed to run on the internal side of the stairs, meaning it runs on the side of the bannister rather than the side of the wall. It is available in 3 standard colours (cream, grey and brown) or alternatively it can be order in any RAL colour at an exceptional cost. The Rembrandt like all Beechfield Stairlifts, is custom designed and made to suit the exact dimensions of the stairs and the installation took less than a day. This installation was slightly longer than most because the one house needed two stairlifts in Dundalk. It also took two of our installers, PJ and Declan to complete the job to it’s highest standard in minimal time.

Once both of the Beechfield Stairlift engineers had cleaned their working spaces, they showed the son of the client, who was present on the day, how to use both stairlifts and the remote controls. They showed the client the function to each button on the remote and how to fold the seat and the footplate.

Stairlift In Ballygall, Dublin. July 2019.

We recently installed a stairlift in Ballygall, Co. Dublin. The customer opted for a Simplicity Plus with all powered options. The Beechfield Area representative visited the house in North Dublin to find out what the customers’ needs were and to measure the size of the staircase area.

Our sales representative for the Ballygall area, Enda, was put in touch with the client after he rang our office looking for information about stairlifts. Enda called out to his home and assessed the stairs, he then spoke to the customer about his requirements and needs, to ensure the customer got the right stairlift. After this discussion, the client was recommended the Handicare Simplicity Plus with a powered chair and footrest.

The Handicare Simplicity Plus stairlift offers you all the functionality of a regular stairlift, with added durability from the extra sturdy track design. The remote powered swivel seat allows the user to face the landing in a progressive position rather than just facing the opposite wall of the stairs. The seat can also be folded up to make the stairlift more discreet when not in use. The foldable footrest can be controlled by the button underneath the armrests. The flame-retardant seat is easy-to-clean with its wipe able fabric. The sturdy track allows for a maximum weight capacity of 22st with a seat width of 460mm.

Once the customer was happy with the design and price, we scheduled a date with our installation team to visit the home and fit the stairlift in North Dublin. Our team installed the stanchions to the steps of the stairs, this ensures no damage to the walls, and then fitted the straight track. The installation of the Handicare Simplicity Plus was complete and ready to use within a few hours and our installation team then showed the family how to adjust the seat to suit the user. The Beechfield team member then gave a demonstration of how to use the stairlift controls. They showed them the function of each button on the controls, how to fold the powered seat and how to fold the powered footplate. After the demonstration was over, our team cleaned up the area where they were working, leaving it clean and tidy.

Stairlift in Laois- Simplicity Plus Stairlift in Mountmellick

A new stairlift in Laois has been installed to help a customer who has vertigo and arthritis. The client added a Simplicity Plus stairlift to her home because she was finding it difficult to climb the stairs with her medical conditions. This new daily living aid will increase the number of times the customer can ascend and descend the stairs during her time at home with fewer pains and peace of mind.

The customer had researched different companies, both locally and nationally that could fit a stairlift which suited her needs of being discrete while also completing the task in hand. They called our customer service team for more information on our stairlift process. We put her in touch with the area representative for Laois, Enda, who arranged a suitable time to visit her at her home. Enda called out to her home and completed a free no obligation survey on the stairs. Enda compiled a photographic survey system which maximises the accuracy of the staircase using cards. The cards are placed on the staircase and our specialist software measures the images Enda takes and creates a 3D model of your staircase so the stairlift is designed to fit perfectly.

The Handicare Simplicity Plus is suitable to both straight and curved staircases and the heavy-duty track caters for a weight capacity of up to 19st. This stylish stairlift comes in three colours, a light grey, gunmetal or brown with a sand coloured, wipe clean seat. It has a powered seat which will turn for you and help you into a standing position. When the stairlift is not in use, the seat and footrest can be folded up to make it discrete for others to access the stairs. The Simplicity Plus stairlift comes with a pair of remote controls to allow the chair to be parked at either the top or the bottom of the stairs and you can move it to your desired level which is convenient for multiple users. This stairlift also comes with a safety feature for obstacles meaning if it meets an obstruction on the stairs, it will automatically stop until the obstacle is removed.

Once the customer was happy to proceed with the function and design of the stairlift that Enda had put together, we arranged a date that was of convenience for our experienced stairlift fitters to call to the home in Mountmellick and install the stairlift. The straight stairlift installations take less than a few hours and once it was completed, the installation team demonstrated how the stairlift works, what the buttons on the remote are for and how to manually fold the stairlift to keep the stairs free for others to use.

Our customer has since expressed extreme gratitude to our installer for his high level of work and cleanliness when fitting the stairlift. They also complimented the customer service they received from our office staff and our Area Representative, Enda.

VAN GOGH Stairlift in Tipperary

One of our customers from Tipperary recently had a stairlift installed into her two-story house. The woman was becoming older and was beginning to find it difficult to climb the stairs, although she is still very mobile, she was developing an unsteadiness while ascending the staircase and therefore thought she would benefit from her very own stairlift in Tipperary. She got in touch with our sales staff over the phone and they put her in contact with her local rep.

Our Area Representative, Robert, called to the home in Tipperary to meet the customer, listen to her needs and assess the stairs case and give her a quotation, all at no cost. The client had a curved staircase, with a bend at the bottom and a large landing and base. Because the customer was still mobile, she did not need help getting on or off the seat, but only when climbing the stairs. This would mean that she doesn’t need a powered seat to help her up from the seat. With the large landing at both the top and bottom of the stairs, the user didn’t need a swivel seat either as there was plenty of room for the chair to come straight on to the landing and park.

After speaking with Rob and discussing her options, the customer opted for a Van Gogh Stairlift. This Handicare stairlift is a singular tube track, as slim as 8cm in diameter, providing a safe and smooth track for comfortable lifts up and down the stairs. The customer also opted for a ‘classic seat’ which combines the utmost comfort with a stylish, easy-to-clean leather finish, designed by physiotherapists and OT’s for the Handicare range. The Van Gogh can be folded up to a maximize the space on the landings when it is not in use with the chair, armrests and footplate all folding up to increase the space and make the stairs passable by other users. The Handicare Van Gogh also comes with two remote controls so you can have one downstairs, and one upstairs on either landing which makes it ideal for multiple users and allows you to move the stairlift without having to sit on it and can be moved somewhat like an elevator. The safety features on this stairlift provide the user with peace of mind. The safety sensors on the footplate and power pack will stop the lift if it encounters an obstacle when it meets an obstacle, it can then only be moved away from the obstruction and not towards it. Another safety feature is the standard safety belt which is fitted on all our Handicare stairlifts and an access key switch that will allow you to disable the lift if not in use, this is extremely handy if there is a chance that there will be small children near the stairlift.

Once our customer had decided that the Van Gogh was definitely the stairlift that she wanted, Rob had our Sales team do up an invoice and move to the next step of the process. The sales team got in touch without the installation team and set a suitable date for our installers to call to the customer’s home and have the stairlift fitted.  Once our installation team member, PJ, called to the home and began the fitting, he had the stairs installed within a few hours. Upon completion of the fitting, he cleaned up his work area, leaving it clean and accessible for the customer. PJ then showed the user how to control the stairlift with the key switch, the remotes and went through the guidelines of using the stairlift with her.  

Our customer was extremely happy with our customer service, from the sales team and Robert and the work the PJ completed and the time in which he did so. She has expressed her delight to be able to ascend the stairs in a timely manner, without pain or struggle. We’re delighted that our customer is comfortable climbing her stairs again, and thank her once again for her custom.

Mid-March, our Stairlift team were down in Waterford to install a new stairlift. This was a very important installation as the user who was in her 80’s, was in a nursing home at the time of the installation and was waiting on the stairlift to be installed before she could come home. Once the stairlift in Waterford was installed, the user could move home and be back with her family so we needed to act fast and get this stairlift in Waterford fitted.

Our sales team put the user’s family in touch with her area representative, Tom O’Dwyer. Tom called to their home and had a chat with the family. He answered any questions they might have in regards the stairlift. Once Tom answered their questions and put them at ease he proceeded with the free no obligation survey. This is where Tom uses a camera to capture the angles of the stairs and the length of the staircase. Tom and the user’s family then spoke more in detailed about the different needs they wanted the stairlift to meet and they then went through the different styles that were suitable for the home while also meeting the requirements.

Our customer in Louth chose the Handicare 2000 Simplicity because of its dual rail which provides extra stability when using it. They chose a powered seat with a foldable function that makes the stairlift more discrete. The seat also as a swivel function so when it lands at the top/bottom of the stairs, it turns to the user into a better position and assist them getting off the stairlift. The discrete folodable function on the seat and footplate allows the stairs to be clear when being used by other people in the home. The remote-controlled lift comes with two controls which can be kept at separate ends of the stairs. The rails come in three standard colours of a light grey, gunmetal grey or brown with a neutral sand coloured seat that’s easy to clean. This customer chose a brown rail and a sand coloured seat. A big benefit of the Handicare 2000 Simplicity stairlift is the built-in safety feature for meeting obstacles on the stairs. If the stairlift meets an obstacle, it will automatically stop and not move again until the obstruction is removed.

Once the customer was happy with the design and price, we scheduled a date with our installation team to visit the home and fit the stairlift in Waterford. Our team installed the stanchions to the steps of the stairs, this ensures no damage to the walls, and then fitted the custom rail which neatly follows the angles of the stairs. The stairlift installation was complete and ready to use within a few hours and our installation team then showed the family how to adjust the seat to suit the user. The Beechfield team member then gave a demonstration of how to use the stairlift controls. They showed them the function of each button on the controls, how to fold the powered seat and how to fold the powered footplate. After the demonstration was over, our team cleaned up the area where they were working, leaving it clean and tidy.
