Why Is Road Gritting Important?

Road gritting is essential for winter safety, using rock salt to lower the freezing point of moisture on roads and pavements. This prevents ice formation, which is a major cause of accidents during cold months. 


● Prevent Ice Formation - Salt in the grit lowers the freezing point of water, melting ice before it can cause hazards.

● Improve Traction - The gravel and grit particles provide grip for vehicle tyres and pedestrians, reducing slips and skids.

● Maintain Accessibility - Ensures that roads, car parks, and walkways remain usable during icy weather, avoiding costly closures.

● Protect Safety - Reduces the risk of accidents and injuries caused by slippery surfaces on commercial and public sites.

Why Should You Choose a Private Gritting Company?

Gritting companies are important because they possess the skills and expertise that’s needed for the highest-quality and most effective gritting services.

We keep on top of the latest training and technologies to be at the top of our game and to meet industry standards and regulations at all times.

What’s more, we’re a family-run business which means that we provide our clients with a personal touch they wouldn’t get with other gritting contractors. We pride ourselves on clear communication at all times and providing support from beginning to end. There’s no tie-ins or retainers when it comes to using our gritting services and all costs are agreed upfront.
