Description
You have indicated that you have nothing to hold onto at the top or bottom of your stairs. We therefore recommend an additional short piece of banister/stair rail in this location to give you extra support. We would recommend contacting a local handyman/fitting service to complete this work for you. Please go to the Tradesmen section in your solutions list, and view "Help from a Qualified Fitter"for more information on arranging the fitting of this solution.Help with fitting
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.
