Northern Ireland
Accessible shop entrances in Northern Ireland
Clear signs, a call bell and a visible handle are low-cost changes that help people in Northern Ireland and across the area use your entrance independently.

Before designing a ramp for your Northern Ireland entrance, we check where your boundary ends, as most pavements belong to the highway or roads authority. What counts as a reasonable adjustment depends on your business, so we price different options for owners in the area to weigh up for their Northern Ireland shop.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Northern Ireland?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northern Ireland, including Antrim, Armagh, Ballymena, Bangor, County Down. Remote areas are by arrangement.
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.
Do the same rules apply in Northern Ireland?
Rules differ in Northern Ireland, so we confirm what applies to your premises before work starts.
