Bespoke Handrails

Here at Handrail Creations, our bespoke timber handrails are our pride and joy.

Unique is our standard; no two creations are the same. From the initial design to those final finishing touches, our years in the industry have helped us to define a whole new standard for intricate and curved handrails. Every year we design and manufacture more than 6,000 bespoke handrail components for hundreds of projects in residential and commercial sectors.

Instead of using chisels and pencils, we’ve pioneered the use of 3D surveys, product design software and 5-axis CNC machinery for a truly unique and efficient process. This all means our focus is on precision and speed, essential in today’s construction industry. We use sustainably sourced fine hardwoods and pre-joint / pre-assemble every part before it is sent to site.

Continuous wooden handrails have been made for hundreds of years and the geometry hasn’t changed; we’ve simply brought it into the 21st century.

OUR BESPOKE DESIGN PROCESS

A bespoke handrail is designed specifically for the staircase it belongs to. Every curve, transition, and fixing point is tailored to suit your space. Using in-house CAD systems, we model the complete handrail run before manufacture begins, resolving all design decisions before anything reaches site. Our approach delivers custom handrails with cleaner lines, smoother transitions, and a perfect fit from start to finish.

MADE AND INSTALLED BY ONE TEAM

Once your custom handrail design is approved, we manufacture it in-house using a combination of skilled craftsmanship and advanced CNC machining. Keeping design and manufacture under one roof gives us complete control over quality and accuracy – even for complex curved staircases.

Installation is carried out by our own experienced teams, who know your handrail design from the outset. This means one point of responsibility: your bespoke handrails are designed, made, and fitted by the same company, ensuring continuity and quality from start to finish.

PREMIUM HARDWOOD OPTIONS

The choice of timber is essential to the look and feel of any bespoke handrail. We work with a variety of sustainably sourced fine hardwoods to ensure every custom handrail meets our high standards:

European Oak: A popular choice. Incredibly durable with a distinct, traditional grain that suits almost any interior.

American Black Walnut: For a touch of luxury. Known for its rich, chocolate-brown tones, it creates a striking bespoke feature on any staircase.

Ash: A fantastic alternative to Oak. Light, strong, and has a prominent grain that takes stains and oils beautifully.

Sapele: For its sophisticated, dark finish. This reddish-brown hardwood offers a consistent grain and exceptional durability.

Maple & Beech: For contemporary, minimalist designs. These are both clean, pale woods that can be finished to a high sheen.

Whether you need a handrail to match existing flooring or a standout custom handrail in a contrasting timber, our team can advise on the best hardwood for your project.

WHERE BESPOKE HANDRAILS WORK BEST

Bespoke and custom handrails are a natural choice where standard options fall short:

Feature staircases in private homes

Curved, helical or multi-flight staircases

Commercial buildings and public spaces

Listed or heritage properties

Staircases with tight or unusual layouts

In these settings, a made-to-measure handrail ensures a better fit, cleaner finish and smoother installation.
