Dave & Alex - Stechford Mobility was recommended to us by a friend. First Class friendly service - had a stairlift fitted within the week & a riser chair (both excellent quality and very competitively priced). Couldn't be more helpful, trustworthy too - would definately recommend.

Fantastic service, ordered a stairlift for my mother and it was fitted within a week, it’s changed her life as she’s so independent, thank you to Dave who organised it and to Martin the engineer who fitted it, very friendly and helpful!

Thank you to Dave for arranging an appointment and dedicating so much time to us, it makes a huge difference when you feel your needs are being listened to, noted and taken into consideration. After being let down elsewhere it was great to feel confident that we were getting the right advice at last. We ordered a new powerchair, made to suit my needs, and I am eagerly awaiting its arrival! We left feeling confident that we had purchased from a reliable, helpful, friendly firm. We would definitely recommend Ideas in Action.

This company and all its staff are wonderful. They are so helpful and friendly. Arranging service of my scooters with them is simple and they are incredibly well priced. The service I get from Alex and Martyn is second to none. I highly recommend this company for anyone's mobility needs.

Today my mum has purchased a mobility scooter and the lovely staff have taken time and care to help us select the scooter, trial the scooter and information on how to fold it down. Excellent freindly service. Lots of personal care and some lovely extras for mum thank you that was very kind. Definatly worth buying a new scooter to ensure you get the 12 month warranty. Five star service.

We would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs help within their home. They work closely and were recommended by Macmillan Cancer Support and we can absolutely understand why. We found them totally professional from the first phone call when we spoke to Debbie and later when speaking to Martin. Debbie arranged an assessment appointment 3 days later and when David Thomas arrived he clearly worked though all the options of stair lifts for us. We straight away were able to chose the option which best suited our personal needs. The personal and compassionate side to this company was shown when he realised that the stair lift needed to be fitted asap due to ill health. He contacted the office and he managed to rearrange his staff to allow time for one of his fitters to come the very next morning to install the stair lift. It has made such a difference to the quality of life. Truly, thank you all so very much.

We received fantastic service from this company, my mum came out of hospital after 5 weeks. She used her stair-lift to go to the top of the stairs where it stopped working; this was lunchtime. I phoned Stetchford mobility who promised to be out asap. Within an hour the engineer arrived, only to find that we needed a new power pack (it was old). This was organised promptly and the engineer promised not to leave until it was sorted, even though this went past his working hours. He was really pleasant and kept my mum amused throughout.Fantastic service.

Needed to upgrade my scooter and visited Stechford Mobility yesterday. Great place for choice. Quite a number of scooters of various sizes to try. The difficulty was choosing. The member of staff was extremely helpful and patient and happy to explain all I needed to know about the scooters. Stechford Mobility has a lot of different products all under the same roof and it is a place I will visit in the future when need arises. I love my new scooter, particularly the colour, and their after sales support will be there when I need it. Thank you Stechford Mobility.
