We definitely made the right choice in choosing EMS Lifts to install our stairlift. They were exceptional from start to finish. After service is second to none whether during or after office hours. All their representatives have been very polite and explain everything in easy language. Our lift keeps us independent, such a bonus.

EMS Lifts I would like to give a big shout out to everyone at the team...Especially George what an absolute asset he is to the company. From the moment he visited the property to give his views what would work for us as a family, his advice along with his suggestions and solutions fitting a through floor lift for my son with DMD. He put my mind at rest knowing we could accomplish the perfect end result. It was great having him on board helping every step of the way. A 100% communication from George also went along way and it goes without saying my son Jay is over the moon too, finally getting his life back on track with the use of a through floor lift using his power wheelchair. Keep up the good work George you’re amazing as too are the team you work along side with. Since moving into the property May 3rd life for Jay has changed bringing smiles and independence.

Thank you Tina & Jay.

Totally unsatisfactory

I'm pleased that other people have had a positive experience with this company. I just wish I had. Unreliable, and some "engineers" incompetent. On another occasion a very simple fix that would have taken the visiting engineer five minutes to fix got ignored in preference to sending another engineer on another day and at an additional call out charge. And then the final straw. Left us with our stair lift in bits for two weeks unusable, irrespective that my wife and I are significantly disabled. And now they won't be back because they don't have the contract any more. They'll probably waffle out some corporate response, but I'm not interested and I'd advise anyone else to tread very carefully, especially if your stair lift is left in bits!

Dear Mr. Willcock,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We value all customer feedback as it helps us improve our service.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration you have encountered. Regarding the simple fix you mentioned, it required a specific part that we did not have in stock on the day of the visit. In some cases, we need to place orders directly with manufacturers for specific parts. Unfortunately, the lead time for these parts can sometimes be excessively long, which is particularly problematic when a lift is out of action. We always strive to expedite parts on behalf of our customers, understanding the critical importance of a functioning stairlift but on this occasion, we were unable to.
Your feedback is invaluable, and we deeply regret that we did not meet your expectations. We are taking your comments seriously and will use them to improve our processes and service.

George is outstanding

This was a difficult project - an old property with steep staircase which required a bespoke solution.
George was brilliant. He visited on a number of occasions and spent a lot of time surveying my property and working with the manufacturer to ensure that the solution would work. He really thought through how it would work for me (eg ensuring I could access my rollator from the end point). He even called round after the installation to check everything was ok.
The engineers who fitted the stairlift were great - they worked flexibly around the carpet fitters and were friendly and helpful. Likewise the carpenters. All left the place tidy and did a good job.
George knew that if we couldn't find a solution I would be forced to leave my much loved home. He kept going till it worked. It does - just (a few mm clearance in several places, but as good a solution as it could be).
Thank you George and team.

Absolutely wonderful

From the moment we first got in touch with your team, our experience has been absolutely wonderful. Your staff's warmth and efficiency immediately put us at ease. Everyone in the showroom was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the guys were great when they visited our house. The whole process went smoother than we ever expected, without any of the usual stress that comes with these kinds of installations. Everything happened right on schedule, and the engineer's skill in fitting the lift was flawless. He worked so carefully and neatly, leaving our staircase tidy, as if he had never been there. The level of service and attention to detail really went above and beyond what we hoped for, making our entire experience with your company truly outstanding.

Very poor after sales service

I had a lift installed in 2022, at a cost of around £15,000. The lift kept breaking down right from the outset and was not in good working order until late March the following year. EMS refused to extend their one year warranty (which in any event seems very short for such an expensive item) to allow for the above and subsequently offered me contract for servicing and breakdowns at an annual cost of around £800 which, as a pensioner, I cannot afford. I therefore decided to pay for servicing and breakdowns as and when needed. I recently had an issue with the lift and phoned EMS to ask them to send out an engineer. They were quite unhelpful and told me that they would not be able to send anyone immediately because I was not an important customer, given that I did not have a contract with them. I was told I would have to wait at least a day for an engineer to be sent to my house. Given that I am quite significantly disabled and struggle to use the stairs, I was disgusted by their attitude but managed to find another provider who came out within a couple of hours and was also much cheaper and did not demand money up front. If I could give 0 stars for this review, I would do so.

Dear Mrs Leggett,

Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your experience with our lift service. We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns and clarify some points regarding your review.

While we understand that you have encountered challenges with your lift, we want to assure you that we have diligently addressed each issue as it arose. Initially, there was a manufacturing problem with your lift, which we promptly attended to and resolved by coordinating with the manufacturer to obtain the necessary parts for repair.

Additionally, as a gesture of goodwill, we provided complimentary services, such as fitting a chair in the lift and offering to extend the warranty, although we respect your decision not to accept the extended warranty offer.

Regarding the recent fault you reported, we apologise for any inconvenience caused by our unavailability at the time of your call. As part of our standard procedure, we prioritise our contract customers to ensure their needs are met promptly. However, we assured you that we were committed to resolving your issue as soon as possible and would schedule a visit as soon as an engineer became available.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to address your concerns. If you have any further questions or would like to discuss your situation in more detail, please feel free to contact us directly.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and we remain dedicated to providing the best possible service to all our customers.

Would not hesitate to recommend

Thank you EMS for installing the stairlift for my Father so quickly and efficiently. I found your Engineers and Surveyors were very helpful and knowledgeable. We were amazed that other companies said they could not fit a stairlift on my parents' staircase but the lift EMS installed is brilliant and my Father is delighted to be able to re-access his bedroom and bathroom again.

Amazing service!

EMS have just installed a stairlift at my parents house. The service provided from both engineers - Jordan and Max was exceptional. They were both professional, friendly and very informative. They installed the lift which is working smoothly and swiftly. Thank you very much!

I cant rate this company highly enough

I cant rate this company highly enough. My Mother in Law needed a stairlift at very short notice due to a fall.
From start to finish the whole process was absolutely seamless. Within a few days someone had been out and measured the staircase and supplied a quote to supply and fit the stair Lift. In no time at all the lift was installed and we had the peace of mind that she could now safely access the first floor. Since its installation early last year EMS have been back to carry out a full service which was all part of the service contract that we took out.
I recommended the company to a friend who was in a similar situation to us and her mum now has a Stairlift supplied and fitted by EMS and she was absolutely over the moon with the service. Her mum has told us that it has completely transformed her life.

EMS stairlift installation by Jordan

Jordan, from EMS stairlifts, came to install a stairlift for my son. He was polite and respectful of my house. He gave me a full demo (including having an go myself) and gave me a full explanation of everything. He left the house clean and tidy. I was thoroughly impressed with all aspects of the service.

I would highly recommend

I'm thrilled to share my positive experience with EMS. The sales person was very friendly and knowledgeable, their installation engineer went above and beyond to address my concerns promptly. Thanks to their efforts my grandma can now use the stairlift to take her to the bedroom safely any time a day or night and i dont need to worry she might hurt herself. She can now live fully independent life, again.
