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

Common questions
Do you cover all of West Yorkshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across West Yorkshire, including Batley, Bingley, Bradford, Brighouse.
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.
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.
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.
