Domestic Wheelchair and Threshold Ramp FAQs
Can a ramp be installed at any doorway?
Most doorways can be improved with some form of ramp or wedge, but the design depends on height,
space available and how the door opens. In some cases a small threshold ramp is enough, while other
homes need a longer ramp from a nearby landing. Tradies can advise on practical options for each
entry point.
Do ramps have to meet commercial disability standards?
For private homes, the focus is usually on safety and usability rather than strict commercial
access standards. However, many tradies aim to follow sensible gradients and handrail practices.
If you have funding or formal accessibility requirements, mention this when posting your job so
tradies can take it into account.
Can ramps be removed later without major damage?
Some ramps are designed to be semi-permanent or portable, which can suit rental properties or
short term needs. Fixings may still leave some marks. When you post your job, explain whether the
solution should be removable so tradies can propose options that minimise permanent changes.
What maintenance do wheelchair ramps need?
Ramps should be kept clean, free of moss, leaves and loose gravel, and checked for any movement or
soft spots in timbers. Non-slip finishes may need refreshing over time. Your tradie can explain
simple maintenance checks suited to the materials used at your home.
