What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Add a wall-mounted handrail to open or enclosed stairs, with every bracket fastened into a stud.
- Install a second rail on the other side so both hands have support going up and down.
- Return the rail ends to the wall so sleeves and bag straps don't catch.
How it works
- Measure the stair run and mark a consistent rail height along the nosings.
- Locate studs along the stairwell and set the bracket positions into them.
- Cut, mount and return the rail, then check that it is continuous, rigid and easy to grip along its length.
- Referred out: rebuilding failing stairs, stringers or a structural guardrail goes to a licensed contractor.
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; rail length, sides, height and finish are agreed before brackets go up.
- Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.
