Accessible shop entrances Lincolnshire

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

What do we offer in Lincolnshire?

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

Portable or folding rampA lower-cost option where a permanent ramp will not fit, used with a call bell so staff can help.

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

How much does it cost in Lincolnshire?

The guide price is £495 to £3,495 ex VAT depending on the work. A heavy closer is a common barrier, and adjusting or replacing it may be the simplest first step at your Lincolnshire premises. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Lincolnshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Lincolnshire, including Barton-upon-Humber, Boston, Cleethorpes, Gainsborough.

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.

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.

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.
