Help and advice

Check that the proposed rail is comfortable to hold and there is sufficient room between the rail and the wall to allow the person to secure a strong handgrip. It is recommended that there should be a space of about 4-6.5 cm between the wall and the rail.

Ensure that the rail is comfortable to hold especially if the user has weak or painful hands. It is recommended that the rail should have a diameter of between 4-4.5 cm.

As a general rule mop stick rails with angled brackets are easy to grip and should extend about 300 mm beyond the top and bottom step. For more advice on stair rails

Coloured rails that contrast with the wall colour can be useful for people who have a visual impairment.

Rails are only as strong as the wall to which they are fixed and the fixings that are used. Many modern properties have internal walls that do not provide suitable anchorage for rails. These walls may need adapting so that a rail can be fitted.

If you need help installing stair rails you could search for local competent traders, such as carpenters and handymen, who meet relevant standards at trustatrader.com
In many areas age concern run a handyman scheme. For a small charge, and if you are over 60, this scheme may be able to assist with small jobs such as fitting hand rails, spy holes in your door, replacing tap washers, and fitting smoke alarms or telephone extensions.

DLF uses unique algorithms to rate products based on the quality of the information we have and also the standards of the various suppliers. The ratings are NOT based on the quality of the actual product itself and no testing of the products have taken place. The rating that appears here takes into account criteria such as suppliers' membership of a trade association with a code of practice and the comprehensiveness of the information supplied to us on each product e.g. image, price or description.
We record details of suppliers membership of Trade associations with a code of practice. Our star ratings give greater weighting to Trade Associations with codes of practice which are approved by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) or governed by an audit scheme. For more information read 'Our values' at the top of this page.
