Chalet bungalow stairs in Meopham, Istead Rise and Vigo
Chalet bungalows are common in Meopham, Istead Rise and Vigo, with bedrooms or a bathroom tucked under the roof. Their stairs are often steeper than in a two-storey house, and many turn sharply at the top where headroom is limited. That can mean a curved stairlift, and the installer will need to check there's enough headroom for someone sitting on the chair as it reaches the landing. Sometimes the simpler answer is moving the bedroom downstairs, as many bungalows already have a ground-floor bathroom. An occupational therapist can help you weigh this up, so it's worth asking before you choose a lift.
Terraces and flats in Gravesend and Northfleet
In the older streets of Gravesend and Northfleet, many terraces have a single straight staircase that suits a straight stairlift, which can often be fitted soon after the survey. Some larger houses near the town centre and the riverside have been split into flats, and stairlifts on shared stairs are more complicated. A shared staircase may be a fire escape route, so the freeholder or managing agent will need to agree, and they may have to consider whether the lift narrows the escape route. If you rent from Gravesham Borough Council or a housing association, adaptations usually go through your landlord, so contact them first.
