To help our clients better understand our commercial gritting services, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions. This section aims to provide clear and concise answers to common queries about our operations, service areas, and the benefits of keeping your medical practice free of ice and snow.
Gritting is essential for healthcare facilities to ensure safe access for patients, staff, and emergency vehicles. Slips and falls can be particularly dangerous in healthcare settings, and gritting helps prevent icy surfaces that could compromise safety and hinder vital services.
We carefully schedule gritting during low-traffic times, often in the early morning or late evening, to minimise disruption. Our teams work discreetly and efficiently, ensuring all main areas are gritted while maintaining access for emergency and medical staff at all times.
Priority areas include car parks, main entrances, ambulance bays, footpaths, and any routes frequently used by patients and medical staff. These critical zones are gritted first to ensure they remain safe and accessible, even in severe winter conditions.
Ensuring Safe Access for Emergency Vehicles
Emergency vehicles require clear and safe access to hospital and healthcare facilities, regardless of the weather. Our gritting team takes special measures to ensure these vital routes remain ice-free and operational at all times.
We understand the urgency and risk associated with blocked or slippery pathways, so our winter maintenance plan includes continuous monitoring and rapid response to adverse conditions.
By using precise application techniques, our gritting services guarantee no delays in emergency services reaching those in need, maintaining the highest health and safety standards.

our decision making process
At our company, we make careful decisions to ensure effective gritting and snow clearing. We closely monitor weather forecasts and road surface temperatures in your area. When temperatures drop below zero, we promptly spread grit and salt to keep roads safe.
Weather Predicting
Using an elaborate weather forecast, we monitor road surface temperatures closely in your area. If this falls below zero, then we will arrange to spread grit and salt.
All Basis Covered
Fitted on our gritters are PDAs and GPS trackers which provide us with a timestamp and date while on site.
Information concerning the site's access, weather and ground conditions are recorded upon arrival; if any area is not gritted (for instance, parked vehicles in the way), data is also recorded.
Constant Communication
In the afternoon, generally around 4PM, we send an email notifying you that gritting will be carried out that night. Snow clearing is usually done early in the morning before your indicated time and overnight.
Evidence Provided
Upon the completion of the job, a completed job card is instantly sent to your e-mail.
This information is crucial since it is evidence that the gritting timings and treatments were done if a trip, slip, or an accident takes place. A photo of the site will also be provided.
