Castle Comfort Stairlifts have never worried about being able to provide an efficient service in the Manchester region. The best motorway system in the United Kingdom means that even travelling from Stafford, south of Stoke in Trent in Staffordshire to the England’s ‘Second City’ never takes much more than an hour.

.

But recent increased demand has resulted in Castle Comfort expanding its offices to
Manchester City Centre.

Our Manchester stairlifts office is as follows
Castle Comfort Stairlifts Ltd Advantage Business Centre, 132-134 Great Ancoats Street, Manchester, Lancashire M4 6DE 0161 452 3636 0800 007 6959

From here, the whole of Manchester and indeed the Lancashire region can be even better served and is even closer to the population of over two and a half million in Greater Manchester where this popular family chair lift business have already installed a huge amount of straight and curved jobs over the years. Folk in Manchester seeking stairlifts - can hop down to the head office showhouse very easily.

Many stairlift orders have come through recommendation – but the national press advertising campaign in the past two years in the Daily Mail, The Mirror, The Times, The Telegraph and the Sun – offering stairlifts at an ingoing price of just £995, has caused a huge reaction from Mancunians, the demonym used to call folk from this city. What’s a demonyn? It’s not someone bad. Find out here

Often known as ‘the capital of the north’ or ‘the warehouse city’ the Metropolitan Borough of Manchester has a population of 465,000- and Greater Manchester in its entirely contains two and a half million people. If just 2% of this second most populated area of the UK (in relation to its size) – need a stair lift in the future – then Castle Comfort are going to be as busy as ever! The aficionados of population statistics can feed their addiction here. And those who revel in other somewhat monotonous facts will just love this.

Manchester is the third-most visited city in the United Kingdom by foreign visitors and the most visited in England outside London. Chester and York are the others. The city has the famous Granada Studios, still the home of the most famous soap in the world, Coronation Street. One of the most memorable editions, containing Stan & Hilda Ogden's 'flying ducks' scene is immortalised here.

Manchester was the host of the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and of course has a pair of Premiership League football clubs, United and City. Manchester football fans are some of the most fervent in the world. Many believe the pop group Simply Red was named because its founder Mick Hucknall has red hair – in fact Mick is a Manchester United stalwart and chose the name because of his beloved ‘Reds.’
For a great interview with George Best on the eve of their champions league final see here.

In 1934 the biggest crowd ever in the UK at a league game was witnessed in Manchester. Stoke City visited Manchester City. It remains a mystery how the figure of 84,569 was finalised, as many watched the game from rooftops and other vantage points. Had stairlifts been around in those days to climb up the final total may have been higher.
Some quite odd things have happened since on that side of the city. In 1999, a City fan from Gizmoville threw an asthma inhaler on to the pitch during a disappointing home draw against lowly Northampton Town. Stewards made him take a deep breath before his ejection. Another ‘blue’ was banned in 1995 from bringing dead chickens into the Maine Road ground. He used to celebrate Manchester City goals by swinging the birds around his head. The mind boggles.

So, if you live in the Greater Manchester region, or in fact any where in Lancashire, and are stairlift shopping for yourself or a loved one, then contact Castle Comfort on 0161 452 3636 or Freephone 0800 007 6959. Followers of any football denomination are welcome, but please - no asthma inhaler throwers or those wielding dead chickens.


It is hoped that fans of Manchester United seeking a stairlift will not bear a grudge against a stairlift company because they originate from Stoke on Trent. Stoke’s own Premiership club, another City ie Stoke – has for many years been the Reds' ‘bogey team’ and over the years some remarkable surprise results have been achieved by the team from The Potteries. Therefore, any Manchester United fans seeking revenge at this point can poke fun or even throw darts here at a Stoke fan riding on a stairlift platform. By the way - do you like the cartoon? That chicken is from Stoke! See more cartoons here.

Why would a doctor be at number one on GoogleMaps? Here's a clue.


Someone once said that there is 'no such thing as bad publicity' - well after reading this - they will change their mind!


Finally, we wonder who saw Castle Comfort Stairlifts on 'the telly' - in fact, the BBC news,

because the directors of this company picked up on the fact that over 800 families were waiting for an essential grant from the council in the Staffordshire town of Walsall to provide stairlifts to those who couldn't afford to pay. Manchester - sadly contains many more. To highlight this awful situation, Castle Comfort Stairlifts did this - to embarass the civil servants - and get one family off the list ...

Stairlifts in Cheshire - Buy a Stairlift from this firm and you'll be grinning like a Cheshire Cat!



Looking for
Stairlifts in Cheshire ... ?


If you are looking for fascinating facts about the area then feel free to read on.

Shopping in the county of Cheshire may have been an expensive thing in the past. This delightful county with the walled city of Chester as its principal town, is one of the more up market and wealthiest regions of England. After the stock broker zones of the home counties, Cheshire is one of the most renowned and favoured areas for many of the UK's richest entrepreneurs and elite. Manchester-based business executives and a host of famous sportspeople reside in Cheshire - especially places like Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield, Altrincham and Sale. Outside London, Tatton, which includes Prestbury and Knutsford, is one of the fifth richest places in the UK with an average income per resident of over £62,000. Read here which members of the nouveau-rich live in the region. And have a hunt around on this site for some interesting and suprising property values. Many Cheshire people will be aware that their county is famous for cheese, silk and salt - but maybe some have no idea just how many famous, not necessarily rich, people were born there. What names here do you recognise? The most expensive street in Britain, with homes costing a staggering 18 million pounds, has just been revealed - and is it in Cheshire? Find out, it's remarkable. And for those Cheshire residents who can breath a sigh of relief that that price tag is found miles away from near Chester or Wilmslow or Warrington - here is where the cheapest home, at under £28k, is found in the UK.

Back to wealth. It's a known fact that buying anything from a newspaper to a new home can cost more in a salubrious place like Cheshire, than somewhere where there is not as much cash.
Therefore, Castle Comfort Stairlifts marketing campaign in conjunction with their new Macclesfield-based regional office has attracted a lot of attention. Putting prices in an advert is a relatively new thing to the stairlift industry - as the big companies like to get the sales person in to the house before delivering the news what is going to be spent!

Castle Comfort's impact in the market by offering their range of fully guaranteed reconditioned stairlifts from £995 is similar in Cheshire as it was initially in Staffordshire. Their new stairlift administration office in Macclesfield, a town which has, again, some of the wealthiest residents in England, (if you wonder who, go here) is the place to call to arrange for a quote and get more information. The company is privileged to have been given a Google Maps No 1 slot.


So, calling all Cheshire residents, whether you are a Rooney or a Reg Jones, and thinking of a stairlift for yourself a family member, you can call 01625 588 6599. Or see the Macclesfield regional office details, and those of all UK offices here. So a stair lift may not be as much as you thought - so why not call this Macclesfield number? - and you'll be grinning like a Cheshire Cat! Where does the phrase - 'grinning like a Cheshire Cat' come from? Just click on this one here to find out.......



And to enhance your knowledge about our feline friends - take a look at the captured on camera Stairlift Cat.

See below the couple who were kept waiting two years for their local council to provide a necessary stairlift and Castle Comfort put in a chairlift without charge. And the BBC liked the gesture. Please take a moment to watch the 6pm BBC News clip below -




Here below, as with all our regional stairlift blogs, we have some of the main towns and cities in the region – along with a selection of notable residents – past and present. It’s always remarkable, how many people do not know just who comes from their own town.

Alsager – Sir James Chadwick, Nobel prize-winning scientist who proved the existence of neutrons. Bollington – David Dickinson, TV personality Chester – Anthony Thwaite, poet and writer. Congleton – Daniel Sturridge, footballer. Crewe – Neil Brooks, Australian Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer. Ellesmere Port – Russ Abbott, comedian. John Prescott, politician.
