Creating Accessible Heritage

Sustainable wheelchair accessibility in heritage and restored buildings

Designing Mobility Solutions Around Stair Space Accessibility

At The Stair Climbing Company we strive to offer pro-active mobility solutions to heritage buildings, architects and designers on all stair accessibility scenarios. As a prerequisite of design wheelchair and less able access is essential to ensure equality to access.

We offer a solution within the design process to ensure building regulations are not only met but exceeded to allow all aspects of wheelchair access.

Offering a sustainable access solution to listed buildings

It’s often difficult to visualise exactly how a stair climber could transform your design until you see these incredible innovations in action. This is why we offer free assessments to all architects and designers for any projects. We currently have transformed the design process for numerous properties including Mappin & Webb (Chester) and Wagamama (Battersea Power Station). The process will look at how access can be provided without altering the existing build framework.

Thinking outside of the box and onto the stairs..

Even with innovative modern designs challenges will raise their heads. You can now deploy a stair climber to provide full access to all areas where only a lift would have been the option previously.

Architects RIBA CPD sessions

We offer free CPD sessions for all architects including a free lunch. This allows us to practically demonstrate and answer questions on how we can support yourself.
