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.

Tighes Hill NSW, Australia

Looking for someone to do the following repairs: BALUSTRADE - Replace two sections of bottom balustrade that have failed/collapsed. The sections are currently chocked up to keep in place but need to be removed and the white palings re-screwed at bottom with new rust-proof screws (the top of the palings are currently attached to the top rail with nails). I have purchased the pre-primed balustrade and painted three coats in matching Weathershield. The lengths will need to be cut to exact size and ends painted before installing. Waste/old material need to be taken away please. SIDE GATE - Rehang gate to original position so closer to side post where hinges are and lift so in line with fence level and attach new latch on right hand side (on inside of property neighbouring side). Moving to the left as originally positioned will allow the gate to close flush and the latch to be installed (as it was originally). Also, re-attach bottom panel (currently sitting next to gate inside property, see pic below). Latch is already purchased. SLEEPERS IN BRICK PATH - Replace rotted sleepers in pathway x 2 sections. One in step and one flush with pathway. Three sleepers have been delivered. Waste/old material need to be taken away please.

Paint outdoor balcony balustrade approx 15 meters long. Paint provided.

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.
