Ramps – Safe, Reliable Access for Homes, Steps & Vehicles
Mobility ramps provide a simple, effective way to overcome steps, thresholds and level changes, helping you move safely and confidently in and out of your home, garden or vehicle. Whether you need a lightweight portable ramp for occasional use, a more robust semi-permanent solution, or a fully modular permanent ramp system, the right ramp can make everyday access easier and more comfortable.
We supply ramps suitable for wheelchairs, mobility scooters, rollators and walking aids across Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and beyond.
At Fen Mobility Centre, we offer a carefully selected range of ramps chosen for safety, durability and ease of use. Our experienced team can advise on the correct length, gradient and type for your needs, and we provide free home assessments for larger installations.
All products are VAT-exempt for eligible customers, and we’re always happy to help you find the safest solution.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mobility Ramps
How do I know what length ramp I need?
The correct ramp length depends mainly on the height you need to overcome (the “rise”). As a general guide, the higher the step, the longer the ramp should be to maintain a safe, comfortable gradient. Wheelchair users often require a gentler slope than mobility scooter users. We can advise you over the phone, or arrange a free home assessment to ensure the safest option.
Can mobility ramps be used for both wheelchairs and mobility scooters?
Yes. Many ramps are suitable for both wheelchairs and mobility scooters, but the best choice depends on the width, weight capacity and gradient required. Larger scooters may need wider or stronger ramps than standard wheelchairs, so it’s important to choose correctly for safety and ease of use.
Do you provide ramp installation?
Yes. We can supply and install semi-permanent and modular ramp systems where required. Portable ramps usually do not need installation and can be used straight away. For larger access solutions, we offer free home assessments to measure and recommend the best configuration.
Are mobility ramps suitable for outdoor use?
Many ramps are specifically designed for outdoor use and include anti-slip surfaces for grip in wet weather. Aluminium modular ramps are particularly popular because they are durable, weather-resistant and low maintenance.
Are ramps better than building a permanent step or concrete slope?
In many cases, yes. Modular ramps can often be installed much faster and with far less disruption than building work. They can also be removed or adapted later if your needs change or if you move home, which makes them a flexible long-term solution.
Are mobility ramps VAT exempt?
Most mobility ramps are VAT-exempt if they are being purchased for personal use by someone with a long-term illness or disability. Our team will guide you through the simple eligibility declaration during purchase.
Can I get help choosing the right ramp?
Absolutely. Choosing the correct ramp is important for safety and comfort. We’re happy to discuss your needs by phone, and for larger ramps we can provide a free home assessment to measure accurately and recommend the safest solution.
Do you supply ramps near me?
We supply mobility ramps across Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and surrounding areas from our showroom in Ely. We can also advise customers further afield — just contact us to discuss your requirements.
What gradient should a wheelchair ramp be?
For independent wheelchair use, a gentler gradient is usually safer and easier. Professional guidance is recommended because factors like user strength, ramp surface and space available all affect the ideal slope. We can calculate this for you during an assessment.
What is the difference between portable and modular ramps?
Portable ramps are lightweight and designed to be moved or stored when not in use, making them ideal for occasional access or travel. Modular ramps are fixed systems designed for regular daily use, offering greater stability and long-term accessibility for homes.
