Fisher Alvin access ramps have been developed to suit all modern disability access standards. Our DDA ramps are built using unique fittings and come in a variety of styles, structures, and materials.
Fisher Alvin DDA-compliant ramps have been developed to ensure businesses and homes are fully accessible for everyone, the elderly and disabled, and those who need to use wheelchairs and scooters to move around.
Under the Equality Act 2010 (previously DDA), all public buildings and businesses in the UK are legally required to make reasonable adjustments to remove physical barriers and ensure equal access to their premises for people with disabilities or reduced mobility. One of the most straightforward ways for businesses to make themselves more accessible to everyone is by installing disabled access ramps.
Our access ramps are compliant with UK accessibility standards. To be compliant, ramps must be designed, tested, and built properly to ensure the safety of users and others accessing the building.
Permanent or semi-permanent access ramps used in public spaces must comply with Building Regulations Document Part M, BS8300, and the National Planning Framework.

The anti-slip ramp surface has integrated grit and drainage holes to prevent the build-up of water and ice.

A simple ramp can be fitted within a day. More complex structures for commercial use might take up to a week to install.
