I have been looking at bungalows and flats but the value of a house seems to so much better. Does anyone know what stair lifts cost and the cost of having them put in. I know it's a piece if string thing but a rough idea would help.

Also I have a feeling that my stairs may be too narrow where I am at the moment. Again, can I pick your brains if anyone knows what is "too" narrow.

One day about twelve months ago, my wife and I had a chat and decided that in view of our age and increasing joint problems, to have a stair lift fitted. It was fitted Tuesday in the following week. The day after, Wednesday, I had a really bad fall resulting in very bad pain in my right hip. I was away from home for five weeks. We are so happy to have made the decision to have a stair lift fitted. I have not yet recovered from the fall and, according to the doctor, I may not do so but the lift makes life so much easier. It has turned our house into a bungalow.
