Accessible paths & ramps in Greetham: what is involved
We build permanent concrete and paved access ramps, level landings and widened paths so wheelchairs, walkers and pushchairs can get to the door safely, including adaptations funded by a Disabled Facilities Grant.
Greetham is a limestone village just west of the A1, with a historic core of stone cottages and farm buildings, later infill and estate housing, and Greetham Valley on its edge. Many drives here are being widened for more cars or replaced after decades of gravel.
We cover Greetham (LE15) and the villages around it, including Cottesmore, Stretton, Clipsham, Exton and Thistleton.
Ground and conservation in Greetham
Greetham sits on the Lincolnshire Limestone, which generally drains well, though Rutland's flood strategy names Greetham among the places with a few properties at river flood risk, so low-lying plots need more thought. We dig the base below the topsoil in Greetham and lay it on a compacted sub-base, so it stays level.
Greetham has a conservation area and no Article 4 direction. Outside listed buildings, front driveways and walls follow normal permitted development, and stone-coloured materials suit the village.

Permissions in Greetham
- PlanningA ramp or path in the garden does not normally need planning permission, but a raised ramp or platform more than 30cm high can. We build to the gradients and landings in Approved Document M, and Disabled Facilities Grant work follows the occupational therapist's recommendations. Listed buildings and the Greetham conservation area have tighter rules, so we check your address before anything is designed.
- Disabled Facilities GrantGrants are run by Rutland County Council. You apply to the council, an occupational therapist assesses what is needed, and the grant can cover up to £30,000 in England. We price to the council's schedule and work to the OT's report.
- Design and priceWe measure up, check the ground and the planning position, and give you one fixed written price.
Rules checked October 2026.
