Fantastic company to deal with, Superb engineers and workmanship! I can finally get upstairs for the first time in years!
A Homelift Solution for Every Bolton Property Type
Bolton’s housing is more varied than most boroughs in Greater Manchester: stone-built weavers’ cottages on the moorland edge around Horwich and Bradshaw, dense Victorian brick terraces through Halliwell and Farnworth, grand Victorian and Edwardian villas along Chorley New Road, and interwar semis further out towards Westhoughton and Smithills. Every one of these presents a different set of constraints when a homeowner wants to stay put rather than move house or fit a stairlift, and Multicare has spent over 35 years learning how to work with each of them.
That range of housing is exactly why Stiltz homelifts have become such a popular option locally. Because the lift is self-supporting and doesn’t need a structural shaft or load-bearing wall to be removed, it can usually be fitted whether you’re in a two-up two-down terrace off Halliwell Road or a detached property near Smithills.
Get in touch with Multicare to talk through the Stiltz range and what’s realistic for your Bolton home.
What a Survey Looks Like for Bolton Homes
Because so much of Bolton’s older housing stock is stone-built or narrow-fronted, the first question we’re usually answering on a survey is where a lift can go without eating into a room you actually use. In a stone terrace, that’s often a corner of a downstairs living room or a hallway recess. In one of the larger villas along Chorley New Road, there’s typically more flexibility, and a lift can sometimes go in above an existing understairs cupboard or into a spare room.
A free, no-obligation home survey is the starting point either way. One of our advisors will come out, look at your floor plan and ceiling structure, and talk you through which Stiltz model and route through the house makes the most sense.

The Stiltz Range We Install in Bolton
We supply and install the full Stiltz range across Bolton, each designed to be quiet, energy-efficient and quick to fit.
Stiltz Duo Classic
The most compact model in the range, with a footprint under a square metre. Popular in Bolton’s narrower stone and brick terraces where space is tightest.
Stiltz Duo+
Same small footprint as the Duo Classic, with an upgraded finish that suits both older stone properties and newer builds around Bolton.
Stiltz Trio Classic
Room for up to three people, or a wheelchair user, without needing a larger structural opening. A common choice for family homes with more floor space to work with.
Stiltz Trio+
Our fully wheelchair-accessible model, with clear glass sides and a recessed entrance rail, built for everyday use by a full-sized wheelchair.
What our customers have said..
Due to living in an upside down Bungalow with steps down to the road we didn’t think we could have any sort of lift other than an external platform lift. After having Multicare come and take a look we were surprised that we could have a lift down to our garage beneath our landing floor. The lads were fantastic and the works involved (shaft, removing walls and hole in the floor) were carried out with minimum disruption. The lift is a life saver! Thank you Multicare for providing us with something we never thought possible!
Mr Norris – Duo Vista (New)
I really appreciate your advice and Mark and Gareth were great. They were highly skilled in many ways and always left the place tidy. They made a good job of cleaning up – 180 years of dust and soot came down when they cut into the landing ceiling!! Think they appreciated the flow of tea and coffee. Babs is getting used to it. Until she is confident in using up I am using the remote to send her up and down. I have found it useful for taking stuff up and down stairs so all together money well spent!
Mr Driver – Duo Vista (Reconditioned)
We originally had Multicare attend our home to measure up for a stairlift. Whilst the surveyor was measuring our stairs we noticed an advert on TV of a Stiltz lift. We asked the surveyor if Multicare was able to provide a quote for a Duo+ lift also. After careful consideration we decided to opt for the Duo+. Within a week from placing the order Multicare had completed the full installation of our HomeLift and what an improvement to our lives it has been. Thank you so much for your services
Mr Cadman – Duo+ (New)
After my wife was admitted to hospital and we realised that our stairlift would no longer be adequate to help her get upstairs easily, we asked Multicare HomeLifts to assess our home for the suitability of a home lift. After the pleasant survey and help that Gareth gave us we decided to go with Multicare Homelifts as they were one the only companies we found able to install a reconditioned lift to suit our price range. From start to finish the engineers were fantastic, and very accommodating. With little mess and tremendous hard work the complete job was finished in 3 days and I was able to welcome my wife home from hospital. A fantastic service from all.
Mr Benson – Duo Classic (Reconditioned)
We are writing to express our thanks for the excellent work carried out on installation of our Trio+ lift. When you came to help us decide whether a stair lift or an internal lift was needed to assist me in getting upstairs, you were extremely helpful,courteous and professional whilst being friendly. You fully explained how the lift would work and how much room it would take up, the templates being very useful in helping imagine the size of the proposed lift. At no time did we feel pressured into making a decision. The structural work was carried out neatly with minimum mess or dust. Had the manufacturers been able to deliver the lift on time then the install would have been completed in four days. As it was, there was only a few days delay. The “Starship Enterprise” as we have named it is working well and making an improvement to our daily life. A big thank you to you and all your crew
Mrs Howard – Trio+ (New)
Every home should have a Stiltz lift. Having the lift installed has completely changed my dad’s life. Although he has no desire to leave the home he shared with Mum for 50 years, he’s lonely now that Mum has passed away, and needs the company of his family. But he could not manage our stairs, and so could not stay for long periods, and never over night. With the lift our house is totally accessible for him – he can go upstairs and down faster than we can! It’s far safer than the chairlift he has at home, and my two year old granddaughter loves it too. The installation went very smoothly, with Multicare sorting everything, with no fuss and very little mess. We are very satisfied customers

Home Lifts Stockport FAQs
Layout has more impact on price than the general area you’re in. A straightforward route through a modern semi is usually more cost-effective to fit than a tight stone terrace needing extra planning around ceiling joists. Your free survey will confirm a personalised quote either way.
Most domestic homelift installations fall outside planning permission requirements. However, if your property sits within one of Bolton’s conservation areas, such as those around Barrow Bridge, Egerton or Firwood Fold, it’s worth flagging this at survey stage so we can confirm whether anything extra applies to your specific installation.
The majority of Stiltz installations are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex routes, such as those through solid stone construction, can occasionally take a little longer, and your surveyor will confirm timings upfront.
Yes, the Trio+ is built specifically for full-sized wheelchair users and comfortably takes up to three people.
Every Stiltz lift has a built-in battery backup, so it continues to operate safely even if the power goes out.
