Accessible shop entrances Hampshire

Before designing a ramp for your Hampshire entrance, we check where your boundary ends, as most pavements belong to the highway or roads authority. A single step at a Hampshire shop door can stop some customers coming in, so we look at the whole approach and not just the door.

What do we offer in Hampshire?

Permanent rampA fixed ramp with landings and handrails, where the forecourt or private land has space. Gradient and length follow the design guidance.

Wider door setA wider leaf, or removing a side panel, can bring the clear width up.

Power-assisted doorA push pad and low-energy operator reduce the effort needed at a heavy door.

How much does it cost in Hampshire?

Budget £495 to £3,495 ex VAT depending on the work. Clear signs, a call bell and a visible handle are low-cost changes that help people in Hampshire and across the South East use your entrance independently. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Hampshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Hampshire, including Aldershot, Andover, Basingstoke, Eastleigh.

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.

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.

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.
