Threshold ramp installation for improved mobility access. Rubber or aluminium ramps fitted securely to doorways and small steps.
### Make Your Home Accessible
**Getting in and out shouldn't be a struggle**. Threshold ramps make life easier for wheelchairs, walking frames, and anyone with mobility issues.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** For wheelchair access, measure your threshold height first. You need 12x that length in ramp - so a 6cm threshold needs a 72cm ramp minimum.

Frequently Asked Questions about Threshold ramp installation in Dawlish
What type of threshold ramp is best?
Depends on the height difference and whether you need it permanent or portable. Small thresholds (up to 2cm) - rubber wedge ramps work well. Bigger steps - aluminium ramps. Wheelchairs need gentler gradients than walking frames. I'll advise based on your specific needs.
Do threshold ramps work for wheelchairs?
Yes, but gradient matters. Maximum recommended is 1:12 (for every 12cm length, 1cm rise). Steeper than that and it's hard work or even impossible for manual wheelchairs. I'll measure and spec the right ramp length for your threshold height.
Can they be fitted to any door?
Most doors, yes. Internal and external. The fixing method depends on floor type and whether you want permanent or temporary. Rented properties usually need portable ramps. Owned properties can have fixed ramps that look neater.
Will it create a trip hazard?
All ramps are potential trip hazards if not done right. I use high-visibility edge marking and position ramps to minimize risk. Proper fitting matters - loose ramps that shift are dangerous.
How long does installation take?
Simple rubber threshold ramps: 30 mins. Longer aluminium ramps that need fixing down: 45-60 mins. Most jobs are straightforward - it's about getting the right product for your needs.
