Accessible shop entrances West Sussex

What counts as a reasonable adjustment depends on your business, so we price different options for owners in the South East to weigh up for their West Sussex shop. A single step at a West Sussex shop door can stop some customers coming in, so we look at the whole approach and not just the door.

What do we offer in West Sussex?

Portable or folding rampA lower-cost option where a permanent ramp will not fit, used with a call bell so staff can help.

Power-assisted doorA push pad and low-energy operator reduce the effort needed at a heavy door.

Permanent rampA fixed ramp with landings and handrails, where the forecourt or private land has space. Gradient and length follow the design guidance.

How much does it cost in West Sussex?

Budget £495 to £3,495 ex VAT depending on the work. Before designing a ramp for your West Sussex entrance, we check where your boundary ends, as most pavements belong to the highway or roads authority. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of West Sussex?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across West Sussex, including Bognor Regis, Chichester, Crawley, Haywards Heath.

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.

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.
