Roger had a stroke and became a wheelchair user. He built the staircase in his home many years ago, but little did he realise at the time that the stairs would be quite complicated and impossible for some to fit a stairlift on.
Roger and his wife Sue had a number of stairlift companies out to see if they could fit a stairlift and were told that a stairlift wouldn't fit. That would mean that they would have to sell up and move out of the family home that they had lived in for many years.
An Occupational Therapist suggested to the couple that they may want to try giving 1st Choice Stairlifts a call to see what they could do.
The couple had all but given up hope when 1st Choice Stairlifts director and engineer Colin Major came to visit to assess their stairs. Colin loves the challenge of complicated stairs and the fact that other stairlift companies had walked away unable to fit a lift only spurred him on to find a solution to help this lovely couple remain in their own home.
It was going to be tight on their stairs - but he had just the right lift for the job to help Roger and Sue. He installed a Flow Curved Stairlift on their tight narrow staircase to help them get up and down stairs.

Video Transcript:
"I had a stroke, my left side’s numb all the time. It isn’t a very nice thing, I don’t wish it on anybody.
We got in contact with other companies and they said they couldn’t do anything and it was the OT that suggested 1st Choice Stairlifts. Colin came and had a look at it and he made sure that the stairs was strong enough, and he said it was and they wanted to put it on the inside of the stairs so that I’d have room to walk on the outside.
They had to tweak it quite a lot, because Roger would have hit his head, but now his head just skims it.
They were very good, the engineer, he was very good setting it up. He took ages to set it up properly so we could skim, it just about fits. It’s okay when you get in and get going, you’ve got no choice, you’ve got to go.
There’s positions were it goes slow when it goes around the corner, and going straight it speeds up, then it goes round the other corner and it slows down, then goes onto its charging point.
I would say how helpful they were 1st Choice Stairlifts, we found them very good, good service.
I think the best thing was when Colin said he could do it because it gave us our downstairs room back.
It’s enabled us to stay in our family home, having the stairlift fitted."
