Accessible shop entrances in East Yorkshire

A heavy closer is a common barrier, and adjusting or replacing it may be the simplest first step at your East Yorkshire premises.

Landlords across Yorkshire and the Humber can combine access work with a wider refit, which avoids disturbing an East Yorkshire tenant twice. Clear signs, a call bell and a visible handle are low-cost changes that help people in East Yorkshire and across Yorkshire and the Humber use your entrance independently.

Common questions

Do you cover all of East Yorkshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across East Yorkshire, including Beverley, Bridlington, Goole, Hull.

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.

Can I make an entrance accessible in a listed building?

Often yes, with a sensitive design. Portable ramps, discreet handrails and lobby changes are common routes. Listed building consent may be needed, and the decision sits with the council. We draw up options and help you record why each change is or is not reasonable.

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.
