Help from a qualified fitter
If the products you are ordering are fixed to the wall or floor, we recommend that you contact a local fitter/handyman to complete this work. It is always a good idea to use someone who has been recommended to you.
How to fix your rails safely
We recommend that you ask a qualified joiner and/or plumber to fit grab rails in your home, depending on where you are fitting this. Discuss what position will help you most with your fitter. The fitters will know whether you have a solid or stud wall and fit the rail appropriately. Please ensure that any grab rail you use is fitted according to the manufacturer’s instructions as there are safety standards that need to be taken in to account.

Fitting advice for rails by the toilet
If you have a concealed cistern in your bathroom, which is where the cistern is hidden behind a wall or is within a unit, and your toilet pan sits directly against that wall/unit, then when the wall to floor / drop down rail is fitted make sure the fitter finds the baton in the wall and fixes the rail to it.
Success!
