Supporting self-service gritting and winter risk management across the UK and Ireland

We can provide salt supplies and self-service gritting materials routinely or in and emergency

Grit bin service

The nation’s largest private gritting service provider also offers a cost-effective grit bin filling service for commercial sites and facilities

Benefit from a Ground Control Gritting salt bin service that is:

  • Scheduled: Twice yearly visits in November and January. Perfect for smaller, single-office locations and hard-to-reach parts of your main sites.  

  • On-demand: You notify us that your bin needs filling, and we attend the site within 48-72 hours during the normal winter season.

  • Check and fill service: Where you have subscribed to our gritting service, but have bins on site for your use, we will inspect the bin in conjunction with gritting and fill it when required.

Salt supply service

Ground Control Gritting can supply brown rock salt and white and marine salt.

Customers can choose from:

  • Pallets of 25kg bag of salt: Perfect for you to store and then distribute on-site, for example using a push spreader for areas you wish to grit yourself 
  • One-tonne bags of salt:  These are ideal if you have areas of your site, for example, a bonded supply area, where you deliver your service manually or with a small spreader.  You can dispense directly from the bag, or lift the bag with a telehandler to offload the contents 
  • Loose salt: Benefit from economies of scale with loose salt, delivered directly to the area.

The UK’s largest winter gritting provider

The benefits of trusting us to deliver all your winter maintenance service requirements.

Ground Control is the largest private gritting company in the UK and has been keeping businesses trading during the winter season, 24/7 for over 16 years.

  • Most of our salt will be delivered directly from the salt mine to our gritting teams to you. This reduces the number of people involved and eliminates the waste involved in producing, storing, and handling plastic bags.
  • Your facilities and site management teams will no longer have to store and manage salt, both in the winter, and any leftover at the end of the winter.
  • If you have multiple bins on site, our prices recognise the efficiency of filling more than one at a time.
  • By buying our salt in bulk, we save, you save.
  • When you first request a fill, we will set up your bins on our system, so that our teams know where they are, and upon receipt of payment/purchase order, will arrange the service.
  • Brown rock salt and white marine salt are available on request
