Mobilisation: We deploy our teams and equipment at optimal times to stay ahead of the weather.
Overnight Service: Gritting is performed when your site is most accessible and free from parked cars, ensuring your property is safe for early morning activity.
Thorough Application: We apply premium white marine salt, which leaves no dirty residue, to roads, pathways, entrances, loading bays and fire escapes.
Reporting: We provide delivery reports and continuously monitor forecasts for any change requiring reapplication.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How do you decide when my property needs gritting?
We utilise OpenSite, a premium forecasting service provided by the Met Office specifically for the gritting industry. Instead of relying on general air temperatures, we monitor hyper-localised road surface temperatures to determine exactly when freezing is likely to occur. Our experts review these forecasts daily to plan and mobilise gritting rounds only when necessary.
What times of day does the gritting service operate?
To minimise disruption to your business, our gritting is primarily performed as an overnight service. We deploy our teams during the evening and night so that your car parks, paths, and roadways are safe and ready for early morning activity. However, we maintain 24/7 availability throughout the winter season to respond to changing weather conditions.
What is the difference between "Pay As You Go" and a "Season Price"?
We offer two options to suit your budget:
Pay As You Go (PAYG): Each month an invoice is raised for the visits that have been made, as dictated by the Met Office forecast.
Season Price: This is a fixed cost covering the entire season from 1st November to 31st March. It includes unlimited applications as dictated by the forecast, providing budget consistency regardless of how harsh the winter becomes.
What type of salt do you use on commercial properties?
We use premium white marine salt rather than brown rock salt. White marine salt is generally more effective at lower temperatures and, crucially for commercial premises, leaves no dirty residue. This helps keep your internal floors cleaner by reducing the amount of grit tracked inside by employees and visitors.
Which areas of my site will be covered?
Before service begins, we conduct a thorough site assessment to identify all critical areas. Our thorough application process typically covers roads, pathways, main entrances, loading bays, and fire escapes to ensure full accessibility and safety. We can also tailor the plan to meet unique site requirements.
Do you provide snow clearance or grit bins?
Yes. In addition to our preventative gritting, we offer comprehensive winter maintenance services that include snow clearance as well as the supply and refilling of grit bins for your site.
