Accessible shop entrances in Herefordshire
Landlords across the West Midlands can combine access work with a wider refit, which avoids disturbing a Herefordshire tenant twice.
Clear signs, a call bell and a visible handle are low-cost changes that help people in Herefordshire and across the West Midlands use your entrance independently. A heavy closer is a common barrier, and adjusting or replacing it may be the simplest first step at your Herefordshire premises.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Herefordshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Herefordshire, including Hereford, Leominster, Ross-on-Wye.
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.
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.
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.
