Commercial Property, Greater Manchester

Working closely with a manufacturing facility to refurbish their disabled washroom spaces, BOYCO is proud to have provided Grab Rail products to offer a secure helping hand when it's needed most.

Project Scope

The client required safe, compliant accessibility solutions in washrooms within the building. BOYCO was commissioned to manufacture and install wall‑fixed grab rails and hinged grab rails to meet accessibility standards and improve user safety.

The BOYCO Way

Background

The commercial property, located in Greater Manchester, has shared disabled toilet facilities. In response to updated accessibility guidelines and client requests, BOYCO was engaged to deliver a robust, durable grab rail systems across multiple areas.

Product Selection & Design

Working closely with the client, BOYCO recommended a combination of wall‑fixed grab rails and hinged grab rails from our specialist disabled grab rails range.

Key product features and design considerations included:

• All grab rails are coated using BOYCO’s “Hot‑Dip” nylon coating, offering antimicrobial protection and a warm touch (i.e. not cold to the touch), conforming with DOC M requirements.
• The coating contributes to durability, longevity, and hygiene, critical in a commercial washroom environment.
• A 10‑year guarantee is provided on all Hot‑Dip coated products, giving the client peace of mind for lifecycle maintenance.
• The hinged rails allow movement to enable clearance when not in use, useful in tight or variable‑use spaces.
• The wall‑fixed rails provide a rigid support option where movement is not required or desired.
• BOYCO’s design team produced detailed layout drawings showing optimal positioning relative to WC pans, wash basins, and walls, ensuring compliance with accessibility guidelines (heights, clearances, mounting strength).

Manufacture & Quality Assurance

Once the design was approved, BOYCO fabricated the grab rails in our very own UK-based manufacturing facility. Each rail underwent inspection to ensure the integrity of the Hot‑Dip coating, dimensional accuracy, and surface finish. Our quality protocols ensure consistency and conformance to specification before dispatch.

Installation & Fitting

BOYCO’s installation team worked on site under full coordination with the contractor’s schedule. Did you know that also provide our grab rails on a supply only basis for site teams to fit?

This grab‑rail installation was a success, with the commercial setting extremely happy with results.

BOYCO's pioneered Hot‑Dip nylon coating and strong fixings ensures that the rails will maintain performance over many years, reducing maintenance overhead.

The 10‑year guarantee underlines BOYCO’s commitment to product longevity and client satisfaction.

The rails fit discreetly into the finishes of the washrooms, offering practical functionality without detracting from the interior design.
