Hi, this might be a completely dumb question, but what is the normal method of attaching a pigsear handrail to a wall where there is no access to the wall on the other side ? I would like it direct onto the wall with as much of the fixings hidden as possible. All help much appreciated....

odd - simple as rawlplug (in wall), screw through the handrail and into the rawlplug. Now the trick to hide the fixings: counter-bore the hole in the handrail, insert the screw, fix the rail, then fill the hole with matching timber plugs (glued in, sanded off). Use a 'screwdigger' for your holes (match to screw size) and a plug cutter to make the plugs. These things are available everywhere, including www.screwfix.com (a set of 4 is £16 but you can by the individual pieces - s/digger (£5), p/cutter (£7)
Brilliant, thanks for that, never heard of a screwdigger and plug cutter before. Really appreciate it....
