What is the minimum width required for a ramp to a non-dwelling building?

Why is this minimum width a legal requirement for building control?

The minimum width of 1500mm is a legal requirement set out in UK building regulations to ensure accessibility for all users, including those with mobility impairments. Building control authorities require compliance with these regulations, and failure to meet this width and other legal requirements set out in Parts M and K, your ramp design cannot be approved.

How can I ensure my ramp design meets legal requirements for building control sign-off?

To obtain building control sign-off, your ramp design must comply with relevant standards, including BS 8300 and Approved Document M and K. Ensuring the ramp meets the minimum width requirement and other key accessibility guidelines is essential for approval. If you're unsure or need guidance on meeting these regulations, feel free to reach out for assistance. 

Remember, we can help you meet the regulations but only an approved building control officer can sign it off. Our drawings are specifications are crystal clear and can be signed off prior to installation. This saves you the risk of anything being snagged and preventing handover.
