How to Find Your Perfect Modular Wheelchair Ramp with Our Service: A Step-by-Step Guide

Measure the vertical height you are going up, for example the height from the ground to the door threshold.

Check the useable width of the doorway and whether your door opens inwards or outwards.

If steps are present, please provide the height and depth of each one.

1. For modular wheelchair ramps, we recommend a 1:12 gradient. For example, a 1-foot rise (load height) requires a 12-foot-long ramp.

2. Where space is limited, the modular ramps can be built to a 1:10 gradient. We are also able to provide the ramps in a smoother gradient when required, for example 1:15.

3.For modular ramps, we recommend installing a platform every 6 metres for stability and as a resting spot for the wheelchair user.

4. For details on measuring, view our How to Measure Your Door Frame page.

• Modular wheelchair ramps are generally selected where you require a ramp which you wish to leave in place for several months or years. They are a popular choice for those seeking to make a home or commercial building accessible for those using wheelchairs, mobility scooters or walkers. Modular ramps are generally more expensive than portable solutions.
• Portable wheelchair ramps are often used on a temporary basis, for example when someone wishes to visit a property or for those who are temporarily using a wheelchair following an operation. They are also often chosen if it is not possible to have a modular ramp, for example on shared driveways or areas with limited space.
• If you are unsure as to whether a modular ramp or temporary solution is more suitable for your requirements please contact our team for advice.

• The modular wheelchair ramps are delivered unassembled to the kerbside by our couriers. We suggest for a confident DIY'er or builder to assemble the ramps. We recommend for at least two people to assembly the ramps.
• Full assembly instructions are provided with the ramps, we do also have a video available.

VAT relief is available across all of our mobility aids including the modular wheelchair ramps. In the UK, people with long-term disabilities do not have to pay VAT on mobility aids. Registered charities also do not have to pay VAT on these items. When you add the item to your basket simply complete your VAT exemption details in the VAT relief box to purchase the ramp without the VAT. It is a self-declaration, we simply require the user's full name and disability. You do not need to send over any paperwork as evidence, nor do you need to be registered as disabled or claim benefits.
