Grab Rail & Handrail Installation тАФ Supplied and Fitted

We supply the rail and install it, so there is no sourcing the wrong size, no waiting on a delivery, and no second trade to book. Our stainless steel grab rails start at $99 and installation is quoted with them.
Every rail is fixed into structural support тАФ timber studs, noggins, masonry, or a backing plate installed behind the lining where no stud falls where the rail needs to go. A rail screwed into plasterboard alone will pull out under load, which is the most common fault we are called to fix.

Where We Install

  • Shower and bath тАФ vertical rails at the entry for stepping over the hob, horizontal or angled rails inside for support standing or seated. We work around existing tiling, screens and mixers.
  • Toilet тАФ wall-mounted rails beside the pan, or drop-down rails where there is no wall on one side. Height and offset set for the person using it.
  • Stairs and steps тАФ continuous hand rails for internal stairs, and external rails at front and back entries.
  • Hallways and corridors тАФ support rails between rooms for anyone who needs something to reach for along the way.

Rails We Supply

  • Straight grab rails тАФ 304 stainless, 32mm diameter to AS 1428.1, brushed satin, 300mm to 7200mm
  • Drop-down and fold-away rails тАФ for toilets with limited wall access
  • Corner and angled rails тАФ for showers needing support through a change of direction
  • Custom-fabricated rails тАФ when a standard size will not fit, we make one in our own workshop

Installed to AS 1428.1 for diameter, height and wall clearance. NDIS Funding Assistance Available, and Support at Home funding is commonly used for grab rail installation.

Custom Handrails & Railings Made to Fit

Stock railings come in fixed lengths and fixed angles. Stairs, verandas and entry steps rarely do. Where an off-the-shelf rail will not follow the run, we make one that will тАФ measured on site, fabricated in our own workshop, then installed and finished by us.
That covers stair railings that turn or rake, continuous handrails over a landing, curved and sweeping runs, external porch and step railings, and rails matched to an existing one you are extending or replacing.

  • Measured on site тАФ we take the run off the actual stair, not a plan
  • Bent and rolled, not mitred тАФ curves and rakes formed properly rather than cut and joined
  • Stainless steel, mild steel or powder coated to suit the setting
  • Matched to existing railings when you are extending or replacing part of a run
  • Installed and finished by us тАФ one company, one quote, one visit list

Custom railings are quoted on the run, the material and the fixings. Send photos and a rough measurement and we will come back within 24 hours.┬а

Question About Our Sypply and Install Rails

What is the Australian standard for handrails?

It depends on the building. Handrails on domestic stairs are governed by the National Construction Code Volume Two, which sets when a handrail is required and the height it must sit at. Accessibility rails тАФ grab rails and hand rails for people with limited mobility тАФ are covered by AS 1428.1, which sets rail diameter, wall clearance and rail extensions. AS 1657 applies to industrial platforms, walkways and ladders, not homes. We install to the standard that applies to your building.

Do all stairs need a handrail?

Not all, but most. Under the National Construction Code, a handrail is required on stairs with more than a set number of risers, and on any stair where there is a drop to one side. Rails are also commonly added below that threshold for safety, particularly for older people, and that is not a compliance question тАФ it is whether the stair is safe to use.

How much does handrail installation cost?

Cost depends on the length of the run, the material, and whether the rail is a stock length or made to fit. Straight stainless steel grab rails start at $99 supplied, with installation quoted alongside. Custom stair railings are priced on the run and the fixings. Send photos and a rough measurement and we will quote within 24 hours. [CONFIRM: add a “from $X” for installation and for custom stair railings.]

Do I need a handrail for 3 steps in Australia?

Often yes. The National Construction Code sets a riser threshold above which a handrail is required, and three steps can meet it depending on the rise and the drop beside the stair. If you are unsure, send us a photo of the steps and we will tell you.

What is the difference between a handrail and a stair rail?

A handrail is the rail you grip тАФ sized and positioned to be held while moving up or down. A stair rail or balustrade is the barrier that stops a fall from the open side. Many stairs need both, and on a balustrade the handrail is usually mounted on top of it.

What is the difference between a handrail and a grab rail?

A handrail runs the length of a stair, ramp or corridor and is gripped while moving. A grab rail is a short fixed rail placed at a specific point тАФ beside a toilet, at a shower entry, next to a bath тАФ and is gripped while transferring or standing. We supply and install both.

Can you repair or replace an existing handrail?

Yes. We repair loose, damaged and corroded handrails, railings and banisters, and replace sections or full runs. Where we are replacing part of a run, we can match the existing rail so the join is not obvious.

Do you install railings outdoors?

Yes. External step and porch railings, veranda railings and pathway rails, in materials suited to weather exposure.

Can I use NDIS or Support at Home funding?

NDIS Funding Assistance Available. Grab rails and hand rails generally fall under minor home modifications, which usually require an occupational therapist assessment specifying placement. Support at Home funding is also commonly used. We provide itemised quotes and documentation for funding submissions.

How soon can you install?

[CONFIRM: lead time. Unicare promises three business days in Sydney metro and leads with it.]
