Accessible shop entrances Wiltshire

A single step at a Wiltshire shop door can stop some customers coming in, so we look at the whole approach and not just the door. Before designing a ramp for your Wiltshire entrance, we check where your boundary ends, as most pavements belong to the highway or roads authority.

What do we offer in Wiltshire?

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

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

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 Wiltshire?

Expect £495 to £3,495 ex VAT depending on the work. Clear signs, a call bell and a visible handle are low-cost changes that help people in Wiltshire and across the South West use your entrance independently. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Wiltshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Wiltshire, including Chippenham, Salisbury, Swindon, Trowbridge.

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.
