I used the Handrail Man a couple of years ago. Used Iroko teak (I think), it took half a day, and cost approsimatly E900. Good job. Just one little niggle, but not necessarily the fitters fault. It did wreck my carpet a bit on the landing. The fixture on the landing did not match the one that they took out so there was a bit of a gaping hole left which looks a bit ugly. Also the carpet on the stairs has been a bit loose since. So, if you are getting this done, do it before you lay a new carpet if possible.
