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

Common questions
Do you cover all of Scotland?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Scotland, including Aberdeen, Airdrie, Ayr, Bearsden. 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 Scotland?
Rules differ in Scotland, so we confirm what applies to your premises before work starts.
