Seasonal Services gritting and snow cleaning

Gritting services are essential for keeping roads, paths, and other surfaces safe during winter.  Gritting uses salt to help dissolve snow and ice quickly. It turns the ice or snow into a saltwater solution that has a much lower freezing point than water. Meaning that the risk of the ground freezing over is greatly reduced over the coming days. Grit can be proactively applied to roads and pavements, reducing the risk of an overnight or early morning accident. Regular gritting of surfaces keeps a healthy layer of brine (saltwater) on the road, which reduces the ability for large sheets of ice to form.

Snow clearing is essential for keeping roads, paths, and other surfaces safe during winter, reducing the risk of slipping. Clearing helps to keep roads and paths open, making it easier for people to get around. This is particularly important for emergency services, public transport, and people with mobility issues.
