Compare Multiple Quotes On Your Made To Match Wooden Products
To browse our range of pre-designed Handrail mouldings, please use the fillers below to find Handrail mouldings that match your requirements.
Every wooden handrail on this page is made to order in the timber of your choice. Nothing here is off-the-shelf stock: you choose the profile, the wood and the lengths, and UK timber manufacturers quote against your specification. That is why a stair handrail, banister rail or landing rail can be produced to match what you already have, instead of settling for the nearest section a merchant happens to carry.
We cover the profiles people actually ask for by name: pigs ear handrail, mopstick handrail, half round, chamfered, grooved and traditional moulded handrail profiles, plus the matching baserail, half newel and stair parts that go with them. Pick oak handrail in American or European oak, or ash, walnut, beech, sapele or pine indoors, and iroko or another durable hardwood for an external handrail. There are more than 100 pre-designed handrail profiles to browse below, and if none of them is right, a sample, photo or drawing is enough for suppliers to quote a made to match replica.
Most enquiries here are replacements and repairs rather than new staircases: a broken run on a wooden banister, a missing length on a half landing, or a second flight that has to look identical to the first. Start by picking the pre-designed profile that comes closest to yours from the options on this page. If nothing matches, send one of the following and the profile can be reproduced from it:
On a domestic staircase the handrail is normally set 900mm to 1000mm above the pitch line, and a section that is comfortable to grip is usually around 40mm to 50mm across. Check the current Building Regulations guidance for your own project, especially on stairs used by the public.
Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian and Arts and Crafts staircases rarely use a section you can buy today. A victorian handrail is often a deep moulded or mopstick section, and a Georgian one may be slimmer than any modern equivalent. Because everything is cut to order, the original profile can be reproduced in the same species rather than replaced with a modern lookalike, which matters in a listed building or a conservation area where the existing detail has to be kept. Reclaimed and repaired runs can be extended the same way: match the section, match the timber, and the join disappears once it is finished.
Oak, both American and European, is the usual choice for a hardwood handrail and takes a hard-wearing finish. Ash is tough and pale, beech is economical and takes stain well, walnut is dark and rich, and sapele and idigbo sit between the two. For an outdoor handrail or a guardrail on an external step, iroko is the one we recommend most often because it stands up to British weather without constant maintenance. Softwood and pine handrail sections are the budget option and are best kept indoors or painted.
Wooduchoose is not a merchant with a warehouse. We connect you with UK timber suppliers and moulding manufacturers, so one enquiry puts your profile in front of several of them and the quotes come back to you to compare. Guide prices are shown online as you build the specification, so you get a feel for cost before anyone contacts you, and the firm-priced quotes follow. Handrail is usually quoted alongside the rest of the job, so add your baserails, newels, spindles and stair parts to the same enquiry and the whole balustrade can be matched in one go.
