Frequently Asked Questions about External handrail steps in Sidmouth
Why an external handrail?
Steps to your front door can be dangerous without support. An external handrail gives you something to hold going up and down - especially important in wet or icy conditions.
What material?
Usually galvanised steel or powder-coated metal - rust-resistant and weatherproof. We match to your property where possible.
How is it fixed?
Bolted into the wall and/or steps depending on your setup. Proper masonry fixings for solid support. Must take full weight.
One side or both?
Depends on your steps and needs. One rail is usually enough, but we can fit both sides if that's what you need.
