Handrails for stairs,steps and paths.
We measure, make, and fit handrails that help you move around your home safely, inside and out. Measured and quoted on site across Victoria and New South Wales.
Something safe to hold,on every step.
A handrail is a rail you hold as you walk: up the stairs, down the front steps, or along a ramp or path. It gives you steady support and helps prevent falls.
We come to your home, measure the space, and fit a rail made for it. Every rail is fixed firmly into the wall or the ground, so it holds your weight when you need it most.
Which raildo you need?
It depends on where the rail goes. Choose one to find out more, or ask us at the site visit.
Timber handrails
For stairs, landings, and hallways inside your home. Warm to hold, and finished to suit your home.
Banister rails
Strong steel rails for outside: front steps, ramps, paths, and decks. Made to handle the weather.
Grab rails
Short rails to hold in one spot, like beside the toilet, in the shower, or at the front door.
Modular grab rails
Bathroom rails built from sections that join together, for corners and awkward spaces a standard rail won’t fit.

Fixed to holdyour full weight.
A handrail is only safe if it is fixed properly. Before we quote, we check what your wall is made of, whether brick, weatherboard, render, or plasterboard, because each one needs a different fixing.
We fix rails into the solid frame of the house, never into plaster alone. Where there is no wall, such as along a garden path, the rail stands on its own posts set into the ground.
How itworks.
Home visit
We come to you, look at where the rail is needed, and measure up.
A clear, fixed quote
You get a written price. It is set out so your plan manager, case manager, or occupational therapist can approve it easily.
Made to measure
Your rail is made to fit your stairs, steps, or path, not cut from a standard length on the day.
Fitted, usually in a day
Most handrails are fitted in one visit. We clean up and take all the rubbish with us.
Backed by warranty
All work is done by licensed tradespeople and backed by the relevant warranties. If anything is not right, just call us.
