Accessible paths & ramps in Ryhall: 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.
Ryhall, with Belmesthorpe, sits on the River Gwash just north of Stamford, with stone cottages around the green and the church, and later estate housing. Being so close to Stamford, many homes here were built by the same post-war and modern housebuilders.
We cover Ryhall (PE9) and the villages around it, including Belmesthorpe, Essendine, Great Casterton, Little Casterton and Uffington.
Ground and conservation in Ryhall
Ryhall is on the limestone, which generally drains well, but the Gwash runs through the village and ground near the river is wetter. We check each site before choosing between a soakaway and channel drainage. We dig the base below the topsoil in Ryhall and lay it on a compacted sub-base, so it stays level.
Ryhall has a conservation area covering the historic village and no Article 4 direction, so normal permitted development rules apply outside listed buildings.

Permissions in Ryhall
- 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 Ryhall 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.
