Ramps and step-free access.
Threshold ramps, modular ramps, handrails. Getting in and out of your home without the steps becoming a barrier.
Threshold ramps, modular ramps, handrails. Getting in and out of your home without the steps becoming a barrier.
Two or three steps at a front door doesn't sound much. For someone using a wheelchair, a walking frame, or recovering from a fall, it's often what stops them leaving the house.
We design and install ramps and step-free access solutions across Bristol and the wider South West. From a single rubber threshold ramp at a back door to a full modular access ramp at the front — built to the right gradient, with handrails where needed, and a slip-resistant surface.
Most ramp installations qualify for Disabled Facilities Grant funding through the council. We’ll help you find out.
A modular access ramp, built to the right gradient and with safe handrails, restores independent access. We'll handle the design and the council paperwork.
A threshold ramp removes the lip without changing the door — often a same-day install once the right size is confirmed.
We build ramps with the right width and load capacity for scooters, with non-slip surfaces and turning room at the top.
Discharge-pathway ramps are something we install at short notice. Call us — we'll work with the hospital and the council to move quickly.
Sometimes a ramp isn't needed and a sturdy handrail does the job. We'll tell you honestly which is right.
We install ramps to back doors and patios too — not just front doors.
Most ramp installations are covered in full by the council's Disabled Facilities Grant. We handle the paperwork, build to the right gradient, and finish the job tidily.
Threshold ramps are often fitted same-day. Modular ramps take longer to fabricate but the install itself is usually one to two days on site.
A good ramp is designed and installed properly — gradient, handrails, surface, and the bit at each end. We don’t cut corners on any of it.
We work out the rise, the run, and what's achievable. Not every doorway can take a ramp — we'll tell you when a different solution is better.
Funding application handled end-to-end where the work qualifies.
Rubber or aluminium ramps for small lips. Often fitted on the first visit.
Built to the right gradient, with platforms and handrails where needed. Compliant with relevant standards. [TBC: confirm specific standards / approvals]
Sturdy, slip-resistant, and at the right height.
Surfaces protected, debris removed, paths swept. Done properly.
[TBC: pull a real client testimonial about a ramp installation. Placeholder reads like the kind of thing clients say — confirm before use.] I hadn't left the house in three months. They came out, looked at the front steps, and a few weeks later a proper ramp was installed. I can go to the shops again.
