A safe rail atyour front door.

A banister rail is a steel rail beside your outside steps, ramp, or path. It gives you something steady to hold when you are carrying shopping, when it is wet, or when it is dark.

We measure your steps on site and make the rail to fit. It is fixed to the wall beside the steps, or stands on its own posts where there is no wall.

Where wefit them.

  • Front and back steps

    On one side or both. With a rail on each side, you can walk down facing forwards and hold on with either hand.

  • Ramps

    Along the full length of the ramp, including the flat landings, so there is always something to hold.

  • Sloping paths and driveways

    On posts beside the path, where there is no wall. It can make the back door usable again.

  • Decks and verandahs

    Beside the steps down from a deck or verandah, and along the edge where it is needed.

Made forthe weather.

Outside rails face rain, sun, and wet hands. We use steel that stands up to the weather, so the rail stays strong and safe for years.

We also check what the rail is fixing into, such as brick, weatherboard, concrete, or a timber deck. Each one needs the right fixing.

How itworks.

  1. Home visit

    We look at your steps and how you use them, then measure up.

  2. A clear, fixed quote

    You get a written price, set out so your plan manager, case manager, or occupational therapist can approve it easily.

  3. Made to fit

    Bends and ends are made to match your steps, so the rail runs all the way from the bottom step to the top.

  4. Fitted, usually in a day

    Most banister rails are fitted in one visit. Rails on posts set into the ground can take a little longer.

  5. Backed by warranty

    All work is done by licensed tradespeople and backed by the relevant warranties. If anything is not right, just call us.

Need a railinside the house?

For stairs and hallways inside, most people choose a timber handrail. It is warmer to hold and suits the inside of a home.

Questions

What people ask aboutbanister rails.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the NDIS or my Home Care Package pay for a banister rail?
Often, yes. A rail on outside steps is usually a minor home modification, which is the simplest kind to get approved. We work with occupational therapists, plan managers, and case managers all the time, and set out our quotes so they are easy to approve.
Can you fit a rail where there is no wall beside the steps?
Yes. Where there is no wall, the rail stands on its own posts, set firmly into the ground. That is the usual answer for a sloping path, open steps, or the edge of a driveway.
Do you make the rail to fit, or is it a standard length?
Made to fit. We measure on site and make the rail to suit your steps. A rail cut from a standard length can stop short of the last step or have a join in the wrong place.
What if my steps are uneven, or the ground slopes away?
That is common, and it is one reason we measure on site. Steps may have sunk, or the last step may be deeper than the rest. We fit the rail to your steps as they are today.
