Winter Gritting Services

Keeping your premises safe when temperatures fall

Ice and frost can quickly make footpaths, entrances, car parks and other external areas hazardous for employees, visitors and members of the public.

Hardwick Sherwood provides professional winter gritting and ice management services for offices, commercial premises, managed properties and communal areas across North Somerset, Somerset and Bristol.

Our teams can attend your property to apply grit to agreed priority areas, helping reduce the risk of slips and falls and keeping pedestrian routes safer during freezing conditions.

Automatic Weather-Triggered Gritting

For clients who want complete peace of mind, we can provide a proactive winter gritting service.

Subject to an agreed service plan, your site can be placed on our winter gritting schedule. When forecast conditions meet the agreed ice-risk criteria, our team can automatically deploy to your property and grit the designated areas.

No need to watch the forecast. No need to call us each time. No last-minute scramble when temperatures suddenly drop.

We take care of the winter response for you.

Areas We Can Treat

Depending on your site and requirements, our teams can treat:

• Footpaths and pedestrian walkways
• Building entrances and exits
• Staff and visitor access routes
• Car parks and parking areas
• Steps, ramps and accessible routes
• Bin and service areas
• Communal external areas
• Other identified high-risk locations

For managed contracts, we can agree the areas requiring treatment in advance so our team knows exactly where to attend and what needs to be gritted.

Ideal for Commercial & Managed Properties

Our winter gritting service is particularly suitable for offices, business parks, apartment developments, managed communal areas, serviced accommodation, retail premises and other commercial properties.

It can also complement an existing facilities management or property maintenance contract, giving property managers a single point of contact for routine site services and seasonal winter support.

A Proactive Approach to Winter Safety

Rather than waiting until somebody discovers an icy pavement in the morning, our managed service is designed to help businesses take a more proactive approach to winter safety.

With agreed treatment areas and weather-triggered deployment, property managers and site operators can have greater confidence that their external areas are being looked after when freezing conditions arrive.

Serving Weston-super-Mare, Clevedon, Portishead, Nailsea, Bristol and surrounding areas across North Somerset and Somerset.
