Handrails and grab rails for Poole

We install disabled handrails and grab rails across Poole, giving extra support and stability to people with limited mobility, balance issues or visual impairments. Being based in Parkstone, we are close to clients in Broadstone, Oakdale and Hamworthy, and we offer a bespoke service for each one.

Whether you need a single grab rail in a bathroom or handrails along a flight of steps, the process is the same: a survey of your property, a conversation about where the rails should go, a design agreed with you, then manufacture and installation by our own team. Our handrails come with a 12-month guarantee on labour and parts.

Disabled handrails and grab rails

Disabled grab rails are fitted where people most need a secure grip: beside baths, showers and toilets, and at entrances. We choose the length and position with you so the rail is easy to reach, and we can add more than one rail where a room needs support in several places. Rails can be fitted in more than one position in the same room where needed.

About disabled grab rails

Internal and external handrails

Staircases inside the home, garden steps and sloping paths all benefit from a rail. We design internal handrails to follow the stairs smoothly round each turn, and external rails to give a steady handhold from the path to the door. Outside, we fix rails firmly into steps, walls or the ground so they stay solid and safe to hold in all weathers.

Internal and external handrails

Stainless steel handrails

Our stainless steel handrails are made to be simple, safe and durable, and suit both residential and commercial properties. As well as new rails, we can restore existing handrails that have become loose or tired. Stainless steel is hard-wearing and easy to clean, which makes it well suited to busy entrances, shared hallways and public buildings as well as private homes.

Areas we cover

Covering Poole from our Parkstone base

With our base in Parkstone, we can survey and fit handrails anywhere in Poole without long waits. We don't consider a job complete until you are happy with the result and the placement of every rail. Tell us who will be using the rails and where they find movement hardest, and we'll suggest positions before we design anything.

Black rails around a raised platform and short steps beside a park home

Rails to a raised platform

A short flight of steps leads up to this raised platform, and black rails follow both. The handrail on the steps is set at a comfortable height for holding while climbing, and it carries on round the landing so there is support right up to the door.

Stainless steel handrail with a curved end and glass panels beside a building entrance

Stainless handrail with curved end

A polished stainless steel handrail runs beside a commercial building, finishing in a curved end at the top of the steps. Glass panels sit between the posts below it. The rounded end avoids a sharp edge where people first reach for the rail.

Stainless steel handrail with glass infill running down external steps

Stainless handrail to steps

Down a set of external steps, this stainless steel handrail curls over at the top and drops with the stairs. Clear glass infill panels keep the space bright. Contrasting nosings on each step work with the handrail to help people see the edges.

Black metal rails around a raised front terrace with steps on a park home

Rails to a raised front

Black rails run the full width of a raised terrace at the front of a park home, with a stepped handrail at the left-hand end. Pots and plants sit along the deck. The rails are fixed down the face of the brick base.

Good to know

Handrails for Poole's homes and flats

Poole has many bungalows and ground-floor flats with a step or two at the entrance, where a short external rail can make a big difference. Where a building is shared, the freeholder or managing agent will usually need to agree to rails in communal areas. If the person using the rails has an occupational therapist, their advice on height and position is useful to share with us before we design. We will also check what the wall is made of so every fixing is secure.
