Frequently asked questions
How long does install take?
One to two days on a typical Ilkley accessibility veranda, phased around your access needs. No overnight closures of your back door.
Do you cover Skipton too?
Yes — Skipton sits 9 miles from Ilkley and installs on the same weekly schedule.
How does lighting work?
Dusk-to-dawn LED strips inside the front beam, plus optional PIR-controlled path lights. Run off one spur from your consumer unit.
Do I need planning permission in Ilkley?
Accessibility adaptations often fall outside permitted development considerations. Leeds City Council / Bradford MDC / Kirklees / Calderdale / Wakefield MDC is usually supportive; we check on survey.
Is the patio finish non-slip?
If we lay it, yes — R11-rated slabs or a resin overlay. If your existing patio isn't grippy, we'll flag it on the survey and quote a resurface separately.
