If the stairs are being used by young or elderly then one of the simplest ways to improve safety on the stairs is to have a handrail both sides,’ agrees Peter Wright. ‘This is a particular benefit for people with knee or hip issues as it gives them a better balance being able to hold on both side. It also makes it easier to comfortably control their rate of descent.’

The gates should be fitted securely according to the manufacturer’s instructions. You can buy pressure-mounted gates but we don’t tend to recommend those, particularly not for the top of the stairs, as it’s very difficult to ensure that pressure is adjusted correctly and safely.

I had dust sheets all the way up the stairs, and (as I always do) warned the customer every time she went near the stairs to be careful, because the sheets can disguise where the edge of the stair is, meaning it’s easy to slip or lose your footing. So, I was working away, and had my ladder about three quarters of the way up the stairs, just beyond the point where they turned 90 degrees on the way up to the landing.However, the Jubilee and Homepride stair rods are offered in four fixed lengths and you then cut them to size.

This is a significant number, particularly when you consider the consequences of the fall. People, quite often, when they’ve had a fall, never recover their full mobility and strength.’ Ideally you want handrails both sides of your staircase,’ says Ashley. ‘In some properties, that might be difficult, but do have them where possible. That will significantly reduce the risk of falling and give you something to grab onto if you do start to stumble.’
