Kudos installed a stairlift for us a few weeks ago which has worked perfectly but because of my disability there were a few "comfort" issues. From the day that we first contacted them, Kudos have given us the sort of customer service that we thought had disappeared in today's hectic world. All of the staff that we have had contact with have been very knowledgeable about the product, extremely polite and willing to help. Everything is now great and we won't hesitate to recommend Kudos to our friends and neighbours.

Stairlift and fitting brilliant. Buy back policy not worth paper it is written on
Customer Service
Quality

The Homeglide Extra Stairlift was fitted expertly by Homeglide apparently and is excellent. Kudos have a 'buy back' policy which according to their salesman is definitely applied when stairlift is less than twelve month old. I checked this with him at least 3 times at the point of sale, as to me it was a condition of the sale as my mother was already 97 years old. When the time came this year and we were still in warranty, we wanted the stairlift removed, they said they didn't want it back as they had enough of them and the written policy does state subject to market forces. So no £232.50 buy back. I offered it them for nothing as it looks brand new. No it is out of their area of service. If I paid them £70 they might consider calling Homeglide to collect it. They recommended ebay. I have contacted a number of stairlift companies since and all buy used stairlifts except the Homeglide Extra as they are difficult to service. So you judge for yourself. Be wary of their salesman's flim flam. All they are interested in is a sale and don't bother if you live north of Northampton. So a Homeglide Extra Stairlift bought for £2320 less than a year ago is gonna have to taken to the tip, just because Kudos won't take back or donate it to a nursing home or whatever. Shame on them and their salesman.

Dear Mr Pierrepont, Thank you for your comments. I am of course disappointed that you are not happy to receive the buyback you wanted. I appreciate your comments on the quality of product and installation, and I am also pleased to hear that the stairlift made a difference to your Mother. From our records, I can see that you have owned the stairlift for just under 12 months, and have not experienced any issues with the stairlift during that period. I would like to discuss your comments with you further with a view to reaching an agreeable resolution, however, must respond on here also. Looking through your records and history, I can see that we provided quotations for more than 1 option, we are as you will be aware able to offer up to 5 straight stairlift models, and is noted that a curved option would have been the recommended option for your mother, including new, refurbished or if appropriate rental options. The quotations were left with you for your preferred options as you had some other companies to receive quotations from also and needed to discuss the option with other family members, I am confident you would have had a similar conversation with all. I will state also that your visit was conducted by one of our surveyors, not a salesman as you mention, an employed staff member and not a commission-based salesman as some of the others that visited would have been. Our office spoke with you the next day as arranged and it was indicated by you that your preferred option was the Homeglide stairlift, although another model was also discussed which you said you had already received a quote for and had no interest in as the features of the homeglide would be better for your mother. You mentioned also that if you did decide on a curved lift it would not be with us as you had received lower quotations albeit for other models to what we could offer, but did not disclose prices or models, stating the straight option would be your preferred choice. We organised a call back at 1 pm as you wanted to know what discounts we could offer should you place an order with us, and also allow us to check the survey detail and ensure fit. You also requested specific days for installation. This call was made, a deal was offered, including organising the installation at a suitable date after you had organised a dedicated power point for the lift yourself. You are correct in saying that your lift was installed by the manufacturer installation team, this is normal in certain areas as we work in partnership. Your late mother's stairlift was installed in August 2018, August is a key time for annual leave and we did have 2 installers with school-age children booked on holiday who would cover that area. Also please be advised that we have service engineers based in Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire so do have full coverage for our customers. I note also that from the date of installation you had no need to call us with any questions, or for a breakdown or issue with the lift so would have not experienced our speed of response should the need arise from a locally based service engineer. I would say that this is a testament to the quality of the product you chose and the high standard of installation delivered. Our terms do state clearly what we can offer and under what circumstances. Like you, many people do choose new over reconditioned/ 2nd hand units, and at the time of your request, we had more than the allocated quota in stock, all obtained through our buyback policy. It seems also that you have either misunderstood, or something has been miscommunicated, as some of your comments are incorrect. I will be happy to discuss this with you should you wish too, perhaps we can reach something agreeable to us both. Please feel free to contact me directly. We can fully support relocation, removal, etc in all areas that we provide stairlifts, and for existing customers, this will be without charge. James

Kudos were able to fit a stairlift in a narrow and steep stairwell. It was done on time and within budget. They were helpful and kept me informed as to progress. Excellent product and great service. They assisted with the modifications required which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended.

The Kudos team, from initial inspection to installation, were professional, personable (with both myself and my mum) and responsive to our situation and needs. They were knowledgeable about the installation options and the products available. No hard sell when we were making a difficult decision which we really didn’t want to have to make - was a stairlift needed? The installation was calm and efficient. It works a treat and does everything we need. I cannot speak highly enough of this team and company and how they interacted with us in an empathetic but practical way. Particular thanks and call out to Ian, James and Mark.

Had our stair lift installed 1 year ago, and they've just been round to do an annual service, The stair lift itself is first class, many other companies had told me that my stairs were too awkward to fit a lift, but Kudos have made a perfect fit. They are very efficient, very pleasant to deal with and have great aftercare.

We have been very pleased with the whole process from start to finish. The whole team have been courteous, never pushy, answered very question and genuinely want to leave you with a product that works for you. Our staircase is very narrow. Other bigger companies said they could help and then said they couldn’t or they said they could help with the minimum of measuring. Kudos measured everything including my husband, which they made a special trip out to do. It was very comprehensive, allowing them to computerise it all so that they could guarantee that it would fit. We were told by another company that the lift we chose would be much more expensive than it really was. The fitting was done in about 6 hours by Peter, the same gentleman that had measured the stairs and my husband. He was thorough in getting it just right for us and thought about implications that we hadn’t. Work was completed in the time agreed within the price agreed. Overall, we feel we have an excellent product fitted by a team that cared about their work and their clients. On top of that, my husband is now able to access the upstairs with ease. Would thoroughly recommend Kudos.

From the first telephone inquiry on 19 may to fitting the stair lift on 12 June, I received advice and help and I appreciated the fast response to my queries from John Parkhill and also Neil. I should perhaps add that apart from the initial visit by john, everything was arranged by phone and email as i was in a care home. The fitting took place the day I returned home. David from brooks lifts was excellent, with his advice and was meticulous with his work. Everyone was helpful and polite. Kudos to john and kudos to kudos stair lifts. I understand that my first telephone inquiry on Sunday, 18 may was answered by the managing director who supplied the answers to my many questions and arranged the visit by the salesman the next day and gave me confidence to use this company!

Spirel staircase lift
The company from the start were very friendly and helpful, John was the first man we met and liked him and his advice was excellent. Followed up by Troy whose expertise and quietly getting on with the job whilst in conversation with us. The whole of the company had an very professional approach. Even our cat made friends with Troy. And to cap it all my wife broke her ankle the next day...! Whereas the chair was for me !

My wife has a rare form of dementia and several other ailments. Kudos installed two stair lifts for us. They are just what we need.
