Accessible shop entrances in Warwickshire

A single step at a Warwickshire shop door can stop some customers coming in, so we look at the whole approach and not just the door.

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

What do we offer in Warwickshire?

Permanent rampA fixed ramp with landings and handrails, where the forecourt or private land has space. Gradient and length follow the design guidance.
Wider door setA wider leaf, or removing a side panel, can bring the clear width up.
Portable or folding rampA lower-cost option where a permanent ramp will not fit, used with a call bell so staff can help.

How much does it cost in Warwickshire?

Budget £495 to £3,495 ex VAT depending on the work. Landlords across the West Midlands can combine access work with a wider refit, which avoids disturbing a Warwickshire tenant twice. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Warwickshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Warwickshire, including Atherstone, Bedworth, Kenilworth, Leamington Spa.

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.

Is a shop legally required to have a ramp?

Not automatically. The Equality Act 2010 requires service providers in England, Scotland and Wales to make reasonable adjustments, and it sets no fixed ramp gradient. Northern Ireland uses the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. What counts as reasonable depends on the premises, cost and resources.

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.
