Why book a balustrading service through Airtasker?

From the sturdy handrail attached to the staircase to those sleek glass barriers for the balcony, balustrades play a key role in maintaining the safety and style of a property. Without proper railings set in place, a household simply feels unfinished, like a hearty pint of beer that lacks appeal without all the froth.

What's more, poorly installed railings (or no railings at all!) don't just make an eyesore out of your home — they're a hazard waiting to happen. Why wait for the other shoe (or handrails, in this case) to fall off when you can easily book a skilled Tasker to give your house a quick upgrade?

Post a job on Airtasker, and start receiving offers from top-rated tradesmen in just a few taps. Whether you're looking to install classic timber railings or modern glass balustrades, there's an expert ready to get the job done for you, fuss-free.

What can you expect from a balustrading expert?

Balustrades do more than provide safety — they also elevate a space, from households to office buildings. From timber to glass, a well-crafted design can bring the best out of any terrace, staircase, or balcony.

Here are some services you can request by booking a balustrading service on Airtasker:

Glass balustrade installation

If you want a stylish touch that's modern and understated, glass balustrades should be your go-to. Frameless designs create an open, uninterrupted view, making them the perfect choice for balconies, terraces, and poolside areas. You can also opt for semi-framed options that introduce subtle stainless steel or aluminium accents for added support.

For another layer of privacy, some Taskers offer custom glass etching or tinting that can double as excellent design elements to your railings.

Staircase balustrade installation

staircase without a balustrade is just asking for trouble. You can choose from a wide variety of materials, such as sturdy timber, cool metal, glass, or even wrought iron. Plenty of designs can also be considered for a staircase balustrade, from the traditional spindle railings to wall-mounted setups and even floating balustrades. Expect your hired tradesman to make sure you get a secure, regulation-compliant fit that your safety needs and aesthetics.

Outdoor or decking balustrade installation

deck isn't complete without a solid railing to frame it. Wooden handrails can offer you timeless appeal and a natural look, while aluminium and composite materials provide low-maintenance alternatives that can stand the test of bad weather conditions. 

Taskers can also add non-slip handrail coatings to make your home extra safe, even under heavy rain.

Balustrade repair and maintenance

Wobbly posts, cracked glass panels, or rusted metal rails don't just drag the appearance of your property. They also pose safety risks that should be promptly addressed. 

Hire qualified tradesmen to handle every step of maintaining your railings, from repairing minor cracks, fixing rusted metal fittings, reattaching unstable posts, or even replacing the railing entirely as needed. This way, you can keep your balustrades well taken care of, so they can keep you safe in return.

Anthony is a good job but didn’t think that we would want the bottom of the balustrade painted so didn’t account for this. I advised was for the whole balustrade, all sides. I’m surprised I would have to specify that. He originally said he’d come at 7.20 but them messaged to say it would be 9.15.

Screw Colourbond sheeting to mezzanine balustrade

$500

Carrington, New South Wales

21st Apr 2025

I need the colourbond polycarb sheeting (already cut to required size) screwed to mezzanine balustrade. Needs to be done out side business hours after 6pm I'm sorry. Or anytime on Friday public holiday or weekend. All screws provided. Can even provide a drill if you need. It is at a height from a ladder or standing on the mezzanine. I have a ladder but you might be more comfy with your own. Carrington location. I can help pass up sheets, if it's awkward by yourself, etc this week. I'm picking up the sheets on Tuesday from MMM in Beresfield around lunchtime - the pics are some inspiration on what needs to happen and the pictures of the mezzanine is the balustrade that it needs to be screwed on.

Joshua is knowledgeable with building tasks and is proficient. I'm beyond happy with the work Joshua has done for me. It's clean, neat and tidy work.
