Nottinghamshire
Accessible shop entrances in Nottinghamshire
A heavy closer is a common barrier, and adjusting or replacing it may be the simplest first step at your Nottinghamshire premises.
Landlords across the East Midlands can combine access work with a wider refit, which avoids disturbing a Nottinghamshire tenant twice. Before designing a ramp for your Nottinghamshire entrance, we check where your boundary ends, as most pavements belong to the highway or roads authority.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Nottinghamshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Nottinghamshire, including Arnold, Beeston, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Mansfield.
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.
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.
