Gritting service for commercial building owners and facilities managers

The winter months can be treacherous when the cold sets in and ice begins to form on roads, car parks and footpaths. That presents health and safety risks – and potential liabilities – for property and facilities managers. In the worst cases, it can shut your premises down entirely if it is not safe to open.

We operate a proactive and reactive gritting service for pavements, car parks, entrance roads and any other hardstanding space at your commercial building. We’re there when you need us to enhance safety and keep your site operational for longer, even in the harshest conditions.

Bespoke services tailored to your site or sites.

Weather monitoring to allow for reactive gritting.
