Accessible shop entrances in South Yorkshire
Clear signs, a call bell and a visible handle are low-cost changes that help people in South Yorkshire and across Yorkshire and the Humber use your entrance independently.
What counts as a reasonable adjustment depends on your business, so we price different options for owners in Yorkshire and the Humber to weigh up for their South Yorkshire shop. Before designing a ramp for your South Yorkshire entrance, we check where your boundary ends, as most pavements belong to the highway or roads authority.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of South Yorkshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across South Yorkshire, including Barnsley, Doncaster, Maltby, Mexborough.
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.
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.
