It will come as no surprise to learn that the great majority of Newbury Mobility’s customers are over the age of 60. This is, of course, the classic time when our mobility begins to become compromised and we start needing some help to get from A to B.

History of Stair Lifts

Posted on 26th February 2016 in Mobility, Stair Lifts, Stairlifts by David Allworthy Comments are off

These days, we’ve become used to, reliable, safe, well-constructed, state-of-the-art stair lifts that come with sophisticated electronics and hand-held remote controls.

We recently took a look at the cost of stair lifts and explained how Newbury Mobility is able to offer basic, straight, used stair lifts from as little as £895.00.

Stair Lift User Manuals

Posted on 14th January 2016 in Mobility, Stairlifts, Tips, User Manuals by David Allworthy Comments are off

The other day, a client asked me a specific question about the remote control on his newly-fitted straight stair lift. So I opened up the User Manual at the relevant page and explained to him what each button is for and how best to use them. It struck me as I was doing so that I haven’t actually read a user manual – not properly anyway – in a fair while.
