GRITIT™ is the largest and first company in the UK to specialise exclusively in winter gritting and snow clearance. This generates more than 80% of our turnover and thanks to this focus we have built an enviable reputation for providing market leading winter solutions. Today we work with some of the UK’s leading companies, helping them to keep their sites, safe, compliant and fully operational during the winter months.
Our fixed cost services include proactive temperature-activated winter gritting, car park, footpath and facility snow clearance, both manual and mechanical, with a 24/7 operations centre backed up by full liability protection. We also provide grounds maintenance, pothole repairs and environmental services during the rest of the year.
Award winning winter services
Winners of the British Institute of FM Awards, GRITIT™ delivers 99.99% customer satisfaction, and offers facility and property managers the peace of mind that their duty of care is being met. GRITIT™ utilises precise weather forecasting technology to ensure that we service your site based on the most accurate data available. While the industry standard operating practice is to grit based on red trigger levels, GRITIT™ will keep you covered on amber level warnings as well.
We understand that every site and company is different, which is why our service is bespoke and based on the specifics of your site. Our operatives are highly professional and take the greatest care when visiting your site. We only use the highest quality white salt, which minimises carpet staining and is the most sustainable product available. GRITIT™ provides you with budget certainty, while our service levels and national coverage give you the assurance that we’ll be there for you 24/7, even in the harshest of winters.
