Here at The Ramp People, we offer a renowned range of Modular Disabled Access Ramps. These ramps are designed primarily as semi-permanent outdoor ramps. As these ramps are often in place long-term or even permanently, we are frequently asked questions regarding disabled access ramp regulations—whether for a private residence or a wheelchair access ramp for a school. Customers often need a little help and guidance in establishing their requirements.

We’re proud to offer a ramp specification service and can provide drawings showing the wheelchair ramp design and layout.

Modular wheelchair ramps are semi-permanent access solutions designed to enhance accessibility for homes, workplaces, semi-permanent buildings, schools, and more.

At The Ramp People, we offer a range of aluminium and steel modular ramps, manufactured in Europe to meet your specific requirements. Our dedicated modular team is on hand to provide expert advice and guidance, helping you find the right ramp for your space. We can create a 3D drawing prior to purchase, ensuring the ramp is suitable and fits perfectly within the available area. Delivery is available across the UK, and our team is ready to answer any questions you may have regarding installation.

Our modular ramps can include multiple turning platforms to maximise flexibility and fit within the space provided. We can also incorporate steps alongside the ramp to offer both step and ramp access.

To allow our Modular Team to provide accurate recommendations, we require measurements of the area and photos. Use our simple guide to understand the required measurements.

Our modular ramps are delivered kerbside and can be installed by a competent builder or DIY enthusiast. Learn more in our assembly guide.

Modular wheelchair ramps are usually designed to a 1:12 gradient however they can be built to a 1:10 gradient when required, for example where space is limited. For instance, if you are going up 1m, you will require a 12m long ramp. The ramps can also be built to a smoother gradient, example a 1:15 gradient where preferred. A smoother gradient makes the ramp easier to use.

The modular ramps can be provided with or without handrails, we also provide ramps with balustrade handrails for optimum security, for example where the ramp is installed in a school.

Whilst handrails are not required, they are often recommended for higher heights and where the ramps are installed in public areas. They are also beneficial for those with limited mobility who require extra support when walking up the ramp and those using walkers and rollators. For public areas, we recommend having handrails to enhance accessibility for all.

As semi-permanent ramps, the modular ramps do not need to comply to building regulations. If you require a permanent ramp which complies to Part M and Part K building regulations please contact our Modular Team for advice.

The modular ramp systems can be used to provide access to various locations including homes, schools, fire escapes, portacabins, temporary buildings, events, mobile homes and more. Due to the modular design they are ideal in instances where a permanent structure is not required. For example, many opt for a modular ramp at home as it can be assembled if works are required to place at the home or if they home is sold. They are also beneficial for providing access to buildings which are only in place for several months or years, for example temporary shops or event facilities.
