Winter Gritting & Snow Clearance Services
One icy car park or walkway can shut a site down and expose you to a liability claim. PPVS provides precautionary and reactive winter gritting and snow clearance across the UK, keeping car parks, access routes and yards safe and open through winter. For multi-site operators, we deliver one winter plan, consistent triggers and documented proof of service across the estate.
Gritting Services & Snow Clearance
Our gritting services keep your sites safe and trading through cold weather – treating car parks, walkways, entrances and access roads before ice forms, and clearing snow when it falls. We plan routes around the areas that matter most for safety and access, and respond when conditions demand it. It’s about keeping people safe and sites open, not just spreading salt.
UK & International Scope Gritting Services
We deliver gritting and snow clearance nationwide, triggered by local weather and coordinated centrally, so every site is treated to the same standard. For multi-site operators, that means one winter service across the whole estate rather than a different local contractor at each site – with consistent triggers, response times and reporting from the first site to the last.
Standards, Compliance & Gritting Schedule
As an occupier you carry a duty of care to keep your premises reasonably free of ice and snow, and our service is built to evidence it. We run precautionary gritting triggered by weather forecasts and road-surface temperatures, with reactive response when conditions change, backed by met-station monitoring and agreed call-out SLAs. Every visit and salt application is logged, and each site has a gritting-route risk assessment – so you have proof of service if a claim ever arises.
Sectors We Work In
We grit across three core sectors. In retail, we keep car parks and store entrances safe for customers and staff. In commercial, we treat office access routes, paths and disabled parking. In industrial, we cover yards, loading bays and HGV routes where safe movement can’t stop for the weather.
CAFM Reporting for Winter Gritting Services
Every gritting visit, weather trigger and salt application is logged on our CAFM platform and turned into a proof-of-service report. If a slip or fall claim is ever made, you have a clear, timestamped record that the site was treated – and full visibility of activity and spend across the estate through the winter.

Winter Gritting FAQs
What's the difference between precautionary and reactive gritting? >
Precautionary gritting treats surfaces before ice forms, triggered by forecasts and road-surface temperatures. Reactive gritting or snow clearance responds once ice or snow has arrived. Most sites use precautionary treatment as the default, with reactive cover on top.
When do you grit - what triggers a visit? >
Visits are triggered by weather forecasts and road-surface temperature monitoring for each site, against an agreed threshold – so gritting happens when conditions require it, not on guesswork.
Who is responsible for gritting a commercial car park? >
As the occupier, you generally carry a duty of care to keep your premises reasonably safe from ice and snow. Our service delivers and documents that on your behalf.
Do you provide snow clearance as well as gritting? >
Yes. Alongside precautionary gritting we clear snow from car parks, walkways and entrances to keep sites accessible and safe.
