Hi there,


We are moving into a rented property and the stairs are painted wood with horizontal bannisters that have big gaps between them.


I wondered if anyone had come across innovative solutions to prevent small children slipping on the stairs (I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 5 month old) and also slipping crawling through the bannisters, which are also on the first floor.


We are looking for something that will not damage the wooden stairs to minimise repairs when we leave.


I've posted a pic of similar bannisters although with these ones the gaps are much bigger and the spindles much smaller.


Any help would be appreciated and if anyone knows a builder/ fitter who might be able to help out that would be great.


Thank you!

A friend has stairs like these and has fitted sheets of perspex to the horizontal bannisters. It has the advantage of not blocking light or affecting the look of the stairs and then you could fill in the screw holes when you leave and touch up the paint.

    • Don't forget to put water out for the birds during this very hot spell. Just remembered to do it myself.
    • Just visited Carlton following the recommendations above and agree with everything that's already been said. Great no-nonsense service. Another patient phoned while I was there and I heard Carlton say "If you're in pain, don't worry, I'll fit you in," which says it all.
    • Thanks i went to the chiropodist for my toenails! Not my gait. It was a remark he made on seeing my insoles, suggesting tennis ball w revised etc. .  He doesn’t do insoles and at that time i thought mine were ok. A podiatrist has sophisticated equipment for gait analysis etc. it’s not always just about your feet. I have flat feet but am also doing some wierd way of placing my feet. They are also v expensive ! re Guys self referral, I’m not in pain or immobile so think I’d wait a long time for an appointment!  However before my insoles I did have foot pain and also fell over my own clown feet quite regularly!   chiropractor is something different again.    I think I’m after a second opinion on my insoles.  Carlton Jefferson is the chiropodist rear of 60 Peckham Rye
