Professional threshold ramp installation for Devon elderly residents - rubber ramp fitted over door thresholds to eliminate trip hazards and allow smooth crossing.
Cross Doorways Safely
Door thresholds catch toes. Wheels get stuck. That raised strip is a trip hazard. A ramp smooths it out. Walk or wheel over easily, no catching.
💡 Pro tip: Check all doorways in the house. Internal thresholds are often overlooked but cause plenty of trips.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a threshold ramp?
A small rubber or metal ramp that goes over door thresholds. Instead of stepping over a raised strip, you walk smoothly up and over. Much safer.
Will it fit my doorway?
Ramps come in different widths and heights. We measure your threshold and get the right size. Most doorways can be fitted.
Does it work for walkers and wheelchairs?
Yes - that's often the main reason. Wheels catch on thresholds. A ramp means smooth rolling over, no bumps or stuck wheels.
Will it move around?
We secure it properly - adhesive, screws, or non-slip backing. Stays put, doesn't slide. Safe to step or wheel over.
