Get In And Out Of Your Home

💡 Pro tip: Consider the back door too if easier access there. Sometimes a simpler ramp route is possible away from the main entrance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of ramp do you install?
Portable aluminium ramps, semi-permanent wooden ramps, permanent concrete ramps. Depends on the height to cover, space available, and your needs.
What about planning permission?
Most ramps for disability access don't need permission, but we check based on your situation. If needed, we can advise on applications.
Can it be removed later?
Portable and semi-permanent ramps yes. Concrete ramps are permanent. We discuss options based on whether the need is temporary or long-term.
What gradient is safe?
1:12 is standard - for every 12cm of ramp length, 1cm of height. Steeper is possible but harder to use. We calculate based on the step height.
