Handrails & grab rails

Safety and independence at home

Disabled handrails and grab rails give extra support and stability to people with limited mobility, balance issues or visual impairments. We design, manufacture and install handrails for private homes and commercial properties, inside and out: on stairways, steps and entrances, and in bathrooms.

A firm handhold reduces the risk of slips, trips and falls, and helps people move around their homes and public spaces with less assistance. Grab rails can be fitted horizontally, vertically or at an angle to suit the space and the person using them.

Advantages of grab rails

  • Stability and support: a secure, reliable handhold that helps people keep their balance.
  • Increased accessibility: extra support in key areas such as bathrooms, stairways and entrances.
  • Independence and confidence: everyday tasks become easier with less assistance.
  • Fall prevention: a sturdy grip that helps prevent falls and injuries, giving peace of mind to users and carers.

Tailored to your requirements

Every handrail is made for the property and the person using it. We start with a consultation to understand your needs and where the rails should go, then agree the design and specification. Our team manufactures your handrails and checks each one before arranging a convenient date to install it.

Our stainless steel grab rails are sturdy, durable and visually appealing, and they can be finished to suit the look of your home. All of our products are British designed and built, and our handrails come with a 12-month guarantee on labour and parts.

Guaranteed, and looked after

We also service and repair existing grab rails and handrails. For railings on stairs, read our guide: Which railing is best for a staircase?

What is a disabled grab rail?

Disabled handrails, also called accessible handrails or grab bars, give extra support and stability to people with limited mobility, including wheelchair users and people who use walkers. They are common in public spaces such as toilets and showers, and they can also be installed in private homes, making it easier to move around safely and independently.

We install handrails across the area, including Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch.

Handrails and grab rails can be adapted to different spaces and needs. They can be installed horizontally, vertically or diagonally, and customised to match the look of the surroundings so they blend into the overall design of the space while doing their job.

Black handrail on an internal staircase with twisted stainless steel balusters

Internal staircase handrail

Looking up an internal stairwell, a black handrail follows the stairs round each turn. Beneath it, stainless steel balusters with a twisted section give a contemporary feel. The continuous rail gives a steady handhold from one floor to the next.

Step handrail to a front door

A black metal handrail runs up the side of a short flight of brick steps to a front door. It continues along the landing, with diamond detail on some of the bars. A rail at hand height makes the steps easier and safer to use.

Black handrail following steps up to a raised entrance with a curled end

Handrail to raised steps

The handrail on these steps finishes in a curled end at the bottom, so hands can find it easily. It follows the brick stairs up to a raised entrance, with railings enclosing the landing. The black finish matches the other metalwork around the home.

Rails to steps and platform

On this park home, black rails guard a raised platform and run down a short set of steps to the drive. Diamond detail repeats on the rails at intervals. Timber screening separates the area beside it, and brackets fix the rail posts to the face of the brick base.
