Installation and dismantling of railings

Railings do more than mark an edge. They protect people on stairs, balconies, ramps, terraces, and raised walkways, while also adding structure and style to a space. Whether you need a brand new railing installed or an old system removed, our team provides careful, code aware work with clean finishes and reliable fixing.

We support homeowners, landlords, builders, and facility managers with indoor and outdoor railing solutions. From measuring and planning to secure anchoring and tidy handover, we focus on safety, durability, and a neat look that fits the building.

Railing installation services

Every installation starts with accurate assessment. We check the surface, the edge condition, and the intended use so the railing is positioned at the correct height and has the right strength. We can install new systems to replace worn railings or add protection where none existed before.

Where we install railings

Staircases in homes, apartments, and public areas
Balconies and terraces including raised decks and rooftop areas
Ramps and entrances where stable support is required
Interior mezzanines and open edge walkways
Garden steps and external stairs exposed to weather

What we install

We work with common railing types and can follow your chosen design, material, and finish. Installations may include handrails, balusters, posts, glass panels, or cable infill, depending on your project. If the work is part of a broader renovation, we can coordinate with related trades, for example when railing posts align with new finishes or when you are also planning wall and ceiling construction in the same area.

How we ensure a secure result

Site check and measuring to confirm dimensions, levels, and fixing points
Material and hardware selection based on indoor or outdoor exposure
Marking and drilling with dust control and surface protection
Anchoring and assembly using suitable fasteners and spacing
Final alignment so rails feel stable and look straight
Cleanup and handover including a quick safety walkthrough

Dismantling and removal of existing railings

Removing a railing is not just unscrewing parts. Fixings may be embedded in concrete, bonded to tiles, or tied into timber framing. Our dismantling service is designed to prevent damage to surrounding surfaces and to keep the area safe while work is underway.

Safe dismantling, minimal disruption

Protection of floors and finishes to reduce chips, cracks, and scratches
Controlled removal of posts, brackets, and panels to avoid sudden falls
Careful handling of glass sections and sharp metal edges
Responsible disposal of removed parts and packaging

If the railing removal is linked to structural updates, stair replacement, or a reconfiguration of internal spaces, we can help plan the sequence so your project runs smoothly. This is especially useful when removal connects with interior partition installation or other finishing works that must happen in a specific order.

Repairs, upgrades, and compliance focused improvements

Not every project needs a full replacement. Many issues can be resolved with targeted repairs or upgrades that improve stability and appearance. We inspect the current railing, identify the cause of looseness or corrosion, and recommend practical steps that match your budget and timeline.

Common issues we fix

Loose handrails caused by worn brackets or undersized fixings
Wobbling posts due to degraded substrate or failed anchors
Rust and corrosion on outdoor metal parts
Damaged sections after impact or weather exposure
Unsafe gaps or outdated layouts that need adjustment

We also support upgrades during refurbishments, including changes to height, additional handrails for comfort, and improved grip profiles. When stairwells are being rebuilt or surfaces are being re finished, coordinating railing work with ceiling installation services and wall finishes helps achieve a cleaner final look.

What to expect when you book

We aim to keep the process simple and transparent. After initial contact, we confirm what you need, arrange a visit if required, and agree the scope of work before scheduling. We work neatly, communicate clearly, and leave the area tidy.

Clear scope covering installation, dismantling, or both
Practical guidance on materials, placement, and finish options
Careful workmanship with attention to alignment and fixing strength
Clean site with debris removed and surfaces wiped down

To arrange railing installation or dismantling, share a few photos and basic measurements if you have them, and we will advise the next steps and book a convenient time.

FAQ

What information do you need for a railing installation quote?

Photos of the area, approximate length, and the location type such as stairs or balcony are a great start. If you know the surface material, for example concrete, tile, or timber, include that too. We can then confirm whether a site visit is needed for final measurements.

Can you remove an old railing without damaging tiles or plaster?

Yes, we use protective coverings and controlled removal methods to reduce chipping and cracks. Fixings that are embedded or bonded are handled carefully, and we can advise on patching needs after dismantling. Some surfaces may still require minor touch ups depending on the original installation.

Do you also repair loose or wobbling railings?

Yes, we can often stabilize railings by replacing brackets, upgrading anchors, or reinforcing fixing points. We inspect the cause of movement first, then recommend the most reliable repair option. If parts are heavily corroded or bent, we may suggest partial replacement for safety.
