Accessible shop entrances in Buckinghamshire
A heavy closer is a common barrier, and adjusting or replacing it may be the simplest first step at your Buckinghamshire premises.
What counts as a reasonable adjustment depends on your business, so we price different options for owners in the South East to weigh up for their Buckinghamshire shop. A single step at a Buckinghamshire shop door can stop some customers coming in, so we look at the whole approach and not just the door.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Buckinghamshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Buckinghamshire, including Amersham, Aylesbury, Buckingham, Chesham.
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.
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.
Is a shop legally required to have a ramp?
Not automatically. The Equality Act 2010 requires service providers in England, Scotland and Wales to make reasonable adjustments, and it sets no fixed ramp gradient. Northern Ireland uses the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. What counts as reasonable depends on the premises, cost and resources.
