People write:
"I have a Stair Lift in my house, however I feel that if I had had a StairSteady I would now be a lot more active" Ted, Sheffield, 83.
'Innovative' says East Midlands Development Agency.
"The thing that struck me was how secure it was, I was impressed by how safe I felt on the stairs" Sue, Chesterfield.
The StairSteady was designed to be a low cost solution for people with limited mobility, rehabilitation needs and those temporarily suffering from sports injuries.
Q: Does it matter if the wall to which the StairSteady will be fixed is a stud wall?
A: No, provided the wall has wooden supports.
Q: What happens if there are two people in the house that need to use the StairSteady?
A: It is possible to have a modified version with two handles on a single rail. So that once one person has climbed the stairs the second can still follow.
Q: What happens if my stairs are not just a single straight flight of steps?
A: For a split flight the StairSteady can be supplied in two sections, one for each flight, each with its own steadying handle (dogleg).
Q: Would a StairSteady replace my existing handrail?
A: Not necessarily, but it is a high quality handrail as well, so can replace your existing rail or supplement it when mounted on the opposite wall to your existing handrail.
Q: Does it obstruct the stairs?
A: No, because it folds neatly out of the way when not in use, so others can use the stairs unobstructed.
Q: How much does it cost?
Q: Does it come in other colours?
A: yes but it will cost more please contact us.
Q: Do you have to pay for fitting?
A: Yes fitting is compulsory, this is because all our fitters are trained and we use chemical bolts to fit it.

Dog-leg is a term used to describe a configuration of stairs between two floors of a building, often a domestic building, in which there are two short flights, joined by a half-landing to enable the 90 or 180 degree turn.
