UK Building Regulations and Portable Wheelchair Ramps

UK building regulations to not apply to portable wheelchair ramps when used temporarily and when they not installed as part of Building Work.

This does not mean you can ignore building regulations and use temporary wheelchair ramps when installing a ramp as the service of installing the ramp may still have to comply to building regulations

It is still wise to keep to the same gradients as stipulated in building regulations but s a general rule most ramp manufacturers recommend a gradient no steeper than 1:12 for independent use and 1:8 for assisted use.

A simple calculation for finding out ramp lengths is to multiple the height by the ratio.

i.e. if working on a 1:12 ratio multiply the height of step by 12 to give you the minimum length of ramp.

6inch step x 12 = 72inch (6ft ramp)
