Handyy installs bathroom grab rails, shower rails, toilet support rails, stair handrails and small home safety aids for private customers, families, Occupational Therapists, advisory routes and local living aid suppliers.
We focus on careful fixing, sensible product choice and practical support that helps people feel safer and more confident at home.
Grab rails are only useful when they are positioned sensibly and fixed securely. We take time to look at the wall type, the room, the likely use and the product being fitted.
A grab rail is a small fitting, but it can make a big difference. Whether it is beside a toilet, inside a shower, by a bath, near a step or along a stairway, it needs to be fitted with the right fixings, in the right position, for the person using it.
Grab rails for showers, baths, wet areas and toilets, fitted carefully into tiles, masonry or suitable wall structures.
Rails and handholds for stairs, hallways, steps, thresholds and day-to-day movement around the property.
We regularly help families arrange practical safety improvements for elderly parents or relatives.
We can fit customer-supplied products, source suitable options, or work with items recommended by Occupational Therapists, local living aid suppliers or family members.
Support rails to help with getting in and out of the bath, including wall-mounted and carefully positioned options.
Rails fitted in shower enclosures, wet areas and tiled corners, with attention to fixings and sealing where required.
Practical support around toilets, cloakrooms and bathrooms to help with sitting, standing and balance.
Additional handrails for stairs and landing areas where extra support or a second rail would be helpful.
Rails and handholds for entrances, garden steps, paths and external access points where suitable fixing is available.
Key safes, small fixtures, shower seats and practical home safety additions can often be fitted during the same visit.
Handyy can work from clear recommendations provided by Occupational Therapists, advisory services, family members or local living aid suppliers. We are also happy to help private customers who already know they need practical support fitted at home.
If an OT has advised a grab rail position or type of support, we can follow that guidance and fit the product carefully.
Handyy has worked with and supports The Independent Living Centre in Semington, a valuable local resource for independent living guidance.
We can work with products recommended or supplied by local mobility and living aid suppliers, while remaining practical and unbiased.
Handyy does not provide clinical assessment. Where a formal assessment is needed, we are happy to work from the advice provided by the relevant professional.
We are not tied to one brand or supplier. That means we can fit customer-supplied rails, source suitable products, or work with products recommended by a local living aid supplier.
The right product depends on the person using it, the wall it is fixed to, the room it is being fitted in and the level of support needed.
A grab rail is not like hanging a picture. It may be used for balance, confidence and body-weight support, so the fixing method matters.
We look at the wall type before fitting and choose fixings carefully. Tiled walls, masonry, plasterboard, stud walls and outdoor surfaces all need different judgement.
Many customers contact Handyy because they are helping a parent, grandparent or relative stay safer at home. Sometimes the need is obvious after a fall, a hospital visit, reduced mobility or simply because getting in and out of the shower has become more difficult.
We can discuss what has been recommended, look at photos where useful, fit suitable products and keep the family updated. Where an Occupational Therapist, advisory service or supplier has already suggested a product or position, we can work from that guidance.
We keep the process straightforward, especially where family members, carers or professionals are helping organise the work.
Contact us with the room, rail type, photos or any OT/supplier recommendations you already have.
We consider the wall type, the likely use, the product and whether anything else is needed for a safe installation.
Rails are fitted neatly with suitable fixings, careful drilling and attention to wet areas where relevant.
We check the rail, tidy the area and make sure the installation is ready to use.
Handyy is based in Corsham and focuses on local work across nearby Wiltshire, Somerset and Bath-area towns rather than trying to cover the whole country.
A few helpful answers before arranging a visit.
Yes. If an Occupational Therapist has recommended a rail type, position or support point, Handyy can work from that guidance and carry out the practical installation.
No. Handyy does not provide clinical assessment. We provide practical installation and product guidance. Where a formal assessment is needed, we are happy to work from the advice given by an Occupational Therapist or relevant professional.
Yes, in many cases. We regularly fit rails in bathrooms and shower areas. The wall type behind the tile matters, so we always consider the surface, fixing method and whether sealing is needed around the fixings.
Yes. We can fit customer-supplied products, source suitable rails, or work with products recommended by a local living aid supplier. Our advice is unbiased and based on what is suitable for the person, property and fixing location.
Suction rails may be useful as a temporary visual aid or light steadying point, but they are not a substitute for a properly fixed grab rail where real support is needed. For weight-bearing support, a securely fixed rail is usually the better option.
Yes, where the surface is suitable. Outdoor rails need sensible positioning, weather-suitable products and secure fixing into an appropriate structure.
Yes. Many customers are sons, daughters or relatives arranging help for an elderly parent or family member. We can discuss the requirement, review photos where useful and keep the family updated.
Yes. Handyy is DBS checked and fully insured, which is especially important when working in homes for elderly or vulnerable customers.
