Gritting and Winter Maintenance
Ground Control’s winter gritting and maintenance services have been keeping sites safe, accessible and operational since 1973. We deliver reliable, professional gritting services for car parks, private roads, commercial estates and facilities across the UK, supported by bespoke winter maintenance plans tailored to each client’s budget and operational needs.
Using the Met Office Gold Service for weather forecasting, our expert teams accurately deploy gritting and snow clearance services to minimise risk from ice, frost and snow. This proactive approach supports business continuity, site safety and legal compliance throughout the winter season.
Our nationwide gritting teams provide local coverage while reducing carbon emissions through efficient routing and a robust operational infrastructure. Every visit is recorded and reported, with full transparency including vehicle tracking, time of works, audit trails and carbon reporting shared directly with clients.
We offer flexible winter gritting contracts with pricing options to suit all operational requirements, including hybrid models that combine multiple packages:
- Pay Per Visit (PPV) – a fixed price each time Ground Control provides gritting at your site(s)
- Fixed Season Price (FSP) – a set winter rate with unlimited gritting trigger responses
With over 50 years’ experience, Ground Control is a trusted provider of commercial winter gritting services, delivering safe, compliant and sustainable winter maintenance nationwide.
