Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about winter services and gritting? Find answers about ice prevention, snow clearance, gritting, and winter maintenance services.
When should gritting be carried out?
Gritting is most effective when applied before ice forms. We monitor weather forecasts and freezing conditions to help determine the right time for treatment. Proactive gritting can help prevent ice from developing, while reactive gritting addresses existing icy conditions.
Why is professional gritting important during winter?
Ice and frost can quickly make outdoor surfaces slippery and dangerous. Professional gritting helps reduce the risk of slips and falls, improves accessibility and helps businesses keep their premises operational during challenging winter weather.
