Vertical supports for fixing stair rails
These vertical bars support a stair handrail by attaching to your stair's tread and wall string. These vertical bars may be required if your stair rail cannot be attached straight to the wall with angled brackets (perhaps because the wall is a partition wall or made of hollow bricks).
Please read our FAQs if you have any questions about how to change information, what the DLF ratings means, etc.
Help and advice
The vertical bars are available with two fixings which attach to your stair's tread and wall string or three fixings which attach to your stair's tread, riser and wall string.

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.
