Vital Ease — home modification and maintenance solutions

Rails welded in place,to follow your ground.

Strong steel rails made and welded on site, for sloping paths, driveways, and steps that a ready-made rail won’t follow. Across Victoria and New South Wales.

For paths thataren’t straight.

Most rails are measured at your home, made in our workshop, then fitted. That suits a simple set of front steps.

But some paths aren’t simple, and a ready-made rail won’t follow them.

So we make the rail right there. The steel is cut, bent, and welded to follow your ground exactly, and fixed wherever there is something solid to hold it.

When a rail ismade on site.

  • Long or uneven paths

    A path from the street to the door that slopes, turns, and changes surface.

  • Sloping driveways

    So you have something to hold all the way from the car to the house.

  • Built ramps and steps

    Rails made at the same time, by the same team, as the ramp or steps they go on.

  • A rail the whole way

    When your occupational therapist wants support along the full path, not just at the steps.

Built tolast outside.

  • Galvanised steel

    A zinc coating that protects the steel from rust in all weather. It is the only finish a rail made on site can have.

  • Protected joints

    We clean and re-coat every weld, so the joints don’t rust.

  • Fixed to something solid

    Bolted into brick, concrete, or a timber deck, or set on posts in the ground where there is no wall.

How itworks.

  1. Design visit

    We walk the path with you and plan where the rail starts, stops, and is fixed.

  2. A clear, fixed quote

    Set out so your plan manager, case manager, or occupational therapist can approve it easily.

  3. Posts and fixings

    We set any posts in the ground and mark each fixing point against your ground.

  4. Made and fitted on site

    The rail is cut, bent, and welded in place, then every joint is protected against rust.

  5. Backed by warranty

    All work is done by licensed tradespeople and backed by the relevant warranties.

Simple paths geta workshop rail.

For straight front steps or a short, level path, a workshop-made rail is quicker, costs less, and comes in more finishes.

Questions

What people ask aboutbanister rails made on site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have a black or stainless rail made on site?
No. Those finishes can only be done in a factory, so a rail welded on site can only be galvanised. If the finish matters to you, the rail must be made in our workshop, which needs a simpler path. Tell us early and we will price it that way.
Why are the weld joints a different colour?
Welding burns off the rust-proof coating at each joint. We clean and re-coat every joint to protect it, but the new coating looks a little different at first. It blends in as the rail weathers. Touching up the joints every few years keeps them rust-free.
When do I need a rail made on site rather than in the workshop?
When the path isn’t made of simple straight lines. For example, a sloping driveway, a path that curves as it drops, or a run across different surfaces.
Will the NDIS pay for a rail like this?
Often. A long or complex outdoor rail is usually a home modification. If it is part of a ramp or steps, it is included in that job. A simple rail may count as a minor modification, which is quicker to approve. We set out our quotes so they are easy to approve.
Can I have a rail made on site if I rent?
Only with the owner’s permission. The rail is bolted into brick, concrete, or the ground, so it is a change to the property. We can explain the work simply, so you can ask your agent.
