Summer is the best time to organise a new gritting contract
It is unlikely you are thinking about winter now, however summer is the best time to call us and arrange a winter gritting contract for your private business. At Clearway Gritting, our operations manager and his team are already planning our winter gritting schedule.
Now is a good time to take out a winter gritting contract or review your previous winter gritting contract to make sure your business is ready for snow and ice this winter.
Is your winter gritting contract fit for purpose?
Although less snow fell during the 2022/23 winter gritting season compared with previous years, up to March 2023 the Clearway Gritting teams made over 25,000 site visits, approximately 30% more site visits than during the 2021/22 winter gritting season. Clearway Gritting was busier because on many evenings the temperature fell below freezing. In these situations, we send out our gritting teams to lay pre-emptive grit in case ice forms. This is particularly important to our clients as there are health and safety issues if icy pavements, private roads and paths are left untreated on their premises.
How to choose a winter gritting contractor?
It is important to do your research and choose a local winter gritting contractor with considerable experience who uses up to date gritting equipment. Remember to go and visit your gritting contractor before you sign a contract so you can assess their business, meet the gritting team who will service your premises and understand your contract terms.
