Bristol and Avon
Accessible shop entrances in Bristol and Avon
Landlords across the South West can combine access work with a wider refit, which avoids disturbing a Bristol and Avon tenant twice.
A heavy closer is a common barrier, and adjusting or replacing it may be the simplest first step at your Bristol and Avon premises. What counts as a reasonable adjustment depends on your business, so we price different options for owners in the South West to weigh up for their Bristol and Avon shop.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Bristol and Avon?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Bristol and Avon, including Bristol.
Do I need permission to put a ramp on the pavement?
Usually yes. The pavement is normally public highway, so the highway authority must agree, and a ramp beyond the property line is rarely allowed. Planning permission may also be needed, and listed buildings need consent. We check the boundary and go through the options with you.
How wide should a shop door be?
In England, Approved Document M gives a clear width of 1000 mm for new buildings and 775 mm for existing buildings for external doors used by the public. Clear width is measured from the door stop to the face of the open door, not across the full leaf. Other nations have their own guidance.
What ramp gradient should I aim for?
A gradient of 1:12 is the steepest normally accepted, and only on short flights. In England, Approved Document M gives 1:12 for 2 m, 1:15 for 5 m and 1:20 for 10 m, and BS 8300 gives similar guidance. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own documents.
