Accessible shop entrances Shropshire

A heavy closer is a common barrier, and adjusting or replacing it may be the simplest first step at your Shropshire premises. Landlords across the West Midlands can combine access work with a wider refit, which avoids disturbing a Shropshire tenant twice.

What do we offer in Shropshire?

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

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Shropshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Shropshire, including Bridgnorth, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Telford.

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.

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.
