Ensuring the Safety of Students, Staff, and Visitors
At Snow Clearing Aberdeen, we specialise in providing reliable gritting services for schools and educational facilities. Our goal is to keep students, staff, and visitors safe during winter conditions by addressing the challenges posed by ice and snow.
Safety is our priority. We work hard to ensure that all access routes, including bus routes, walkways, and play areas, are clear of ice and snow. Our gritting services use rock salt and effective treatments to prevent accidents caused by slippery surfaces.
We understand that schools require special care as they host vulnerable children, and we are committed to providing safe environments during winter.
Prioritising Playgrounds, Car Parks, and Walkways
Playgrounds, car parks, and walkways are essential areas that need focused attention during icy conditions. At Snow Clearing Aberdeen, we prioritise these spaces to reduce risks associated with ice or snow. Our responsibilities involve working with schools to identify key areas needing treatment.
Gritting not only helps the main access routes but also ensures that crucial spots like entrances and exits are treated efficiently.

Why Gritting Is Essential for Schools and Educational Facilities
Gritting is crucial to maintaining a safe environment and continuity of education. With fluctuating winter temperatures causing frost and snow, untreated surfaces pose a constant risk of accidents. Snow Clearing Aberdeen ensures that essential areas are treated effectively, making it easier for schools to continue their activities without weather disruptions.
Frequently Asked Questions About Schools & Education Gritting
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 business premises free of ice and snow.
Key areas include entrances, walkways, car parks, and drop-off zones. Additionally, routes frequently used by students and staff, such as paths between buildings and outdoor assembly points, are prioritised to maintain safe access.
Playgrounds are carefully gritted and monitored to prevent icy patches. If necessary, areas are closed until deemed safe for use. We also ensure that gritting is done early enough to allow time for ice to melt before children arrive.
We create a strategic plan to prioritise high-traffic areas and ensure timely coverage. Our teams use specialised equipment to cover expansive areas efficiently, while real-time monitoring allows for adjustments based on changing weather conditions.

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.
