Hi
I have to fit a hand rail onto the wall of venerable relatives stair there is an existing banister but age demands that two rails are requird . the job it's self is not a problem what the problem the house is so old and the bricks are made with sand and water and crumble if drilled ,i could not safely rely on raw plugs into the brick . I intended to use a board with hand rail brackets and a round pole rail . any ides how i can fix it so it safe and can be trusted not to fail should it be put under weight .
