Worth knowing

Worth checking before work starts

A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.

  1. Disabled Facilities Grants

    In England and Wales, if you're disabled, you may be able to get a Disabled Facilities Grant from your council for a stairlift or ramp. Don't start work before it approves your application. Check if you're eligible on GOV.UK.

  2. VAT relief

    If you're disabled or have a long-term illness, you may not have to pay VAT on equipment designed or adapted for your own use, such as a stairlift. Your disability and the product must qualify. Check if you're eligible on GOV.UK.

  3. Scooters for the road

    In Great Britain, a class 3 mobility scooter, which can do up to 8mph and be used on the road, must be registered with DVLA. The dealer will usually register a new one for you.
