A promising transformation of a bathroom to a modern wet room

We had our old bathroom changed to a wet room, designed to address the question of safety and easy access. The company Handicare, were very open and objective in sharing their assessment with us, allowing us to make a reasonable and practical choice. The team involved in giving advice and implementing the changes enabled us to draw on their professional experience in order to make sound choices, the results of which has enhanced our bathing experience!.

I had a very good experience throughout from visit to installation

I had a very good experience with Handicare Stairlifts. I needed one urgently as my husband needed to be discharged from hospital. I had a visit on Friday and was told the cost & I went ahead with ordering the stairlift the following Monday. It was installed & working on the Saturday. Excellent work in a short space of time!

Making a one time purchase

The company's attention to detail both before, during and after the work was impressive. The cost was not too great but we got what we paid for. This was a one time purchase, so we feel we made the right decision with using Handicare.

Handicare take such care

Handicare take such care to ensure your stairlift is suitable for you and the staff are so professional. Each step of the way we were informed of who would be calling for security, even the young delivery gent who unpacked all the lift parts and took all cardboard waste away. Julian was our engineer & he was fantastic, ensuring we knew how the lift worked & who to call if we have a problem. He even remembered fitting my cousins stairlift when she called round on installation day. We had several quotes before hand but chose Handicare/Age uk as they were by far the best, in information, knowledge of goods & price.

Got our bath replaced with a walk-in…

Got our bath replaced with a walk-in shower. The entire experience from start to finish was excellent. Salesperson wasn’t pushy at all. The back office staff were always polite and delivered everything as agreed. The installation team were excellent, polite and very clean. The finished shower was perfect.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Outrageous service policy

Everything went very well, including the installation. However, within 10 days the stairlift started beeping. When I called the service line, they were able to help me identify that there was an issue with the battery and said that a service engineer would visit within 24 hours. That sounded great. But then, I was warned that I might be charged for the service call and the cost of replacing the battery, depending upon what the service engineer found. The very idea that I would have to pay for any problem with the stairlift so soon after installation seems outrageous.

Handicare stairlifts were brilliant from start to finish. Phil who came round to measure up was attentive, thorough and polite in explaining everything.
Our fitter Josh was equally as polite and very patient with showing us how everything worked.( fitted within 3 days of order)
Very pleased with stairlift, it has made a big difference and made life at home easier.

Looking to have a stairlift installed

Looking to have a stairlift installed, I decided to approach Handicare Stairlifts as basically they are a not for profit organisation. All profits are donated to Age UK. Their representative came along and did some measuring etc and advised me on which product would suit me best. Once i had decided what I wanted a technician came and took further measurements and showed me 3 D videos of what the insallation woud liik like. Within 2 week qnother technician installed the stairloift to my satisfaction. During the whole process i was kept in the loop of what was happening. I am a happy bunny.

Stair lift Installation experience

The entire experience of getting a 4000 type stair lift installed for my mum was pretty straight forward and dealt with by efficient, professional, polite and helpful Handicare staff.

There was a minor problem during the installation when a safety component on the motor was found to be faulty hence the motor required replacement and the installation ground to a halt. I mention this because unexpected problems do occur and what’s important is how they’re dealt with. I cannot fault Handicare because they were in touch with me within the hour of reported fault and arranged a replacement part and agreeable installation date for a few days later.

The remainder of the stair lift installation 3 days later went smoothly. A special mention should go to Julian, the engineer who finished the installation work, fitting the chair and electrics and demonstrating its use. Julian performed fantastically, professionally and diligently, telling us what he was doing and reasoning behind the work. Additionally, he found a better solution for placement of the charging power source, locating it in an unused bedroom where it’s safer from being disturbed.

So, my installation experience has been very good and my elderly mother is thrilled with her new stair lift.

Excellent product and service

The whole process, from enquiry to installation was completed within a week.
Richard came out to explain our options and measure up on Saturday afternoon (14th March).
The stairlift was delivered on the 18th and installed on the 20th. The installation was quick, the stairlift was demonstrated and everything was explained clearly.

Very efficient order, delivery and installation.

Lift delivered promptly by very polite and courteous Dutch driver.
Installed the following day by an equally polite and courteous engineer. It was installed very neatly and with care. Every aspect was explained to me in detail and it worked perfectly on my first use. I feel very confident with it.

The service we received from Handicare…

The service we received from Handicare was excellent. The stairlift was fitted within a week of the initial request and I was kept informed throughout the process. The fitting was quick with a courteous and professional fitter. It has made a massive difference to my mum on returning home from hospital after a fall.

Excellent customer service and easy process

I am over the moon with the installation of the stairlift. I placed an enquiry, which was dealt with quickly and an appointment was made for the surveyor to visit. He explained how the process worked, answered all my questions and put mine and my wife's mind at ease. He was very kind, friendly and understanding. Once we made the decision to proceed, the kit was delivered to our home quickly and installed on our preferred date. The engineer, who installed the stairlift, was faultless, did an excellent job, was polite and explained everything clearly. I am so happy with the difference that it's already making to my daily routine and would not hesitate to recommend this company.
