Why Car Parks Need Proper Gritting

Car parks are where most winter slips happen. Staff and customers walk between parked cars with their heads down, vehicles turn and brake on open tarmac, and ramps and entrances freeze first. A car park that's been gritted properly before the frost arrives keeps people on their feet and vehicles moving.

What We Treat

At your free site visit we walk the car park with you and agree what needs treating. That usually means vehicle entrances and exits, driving aisles, parking bays, pedestrian routes, ramps, kerbs and the walkways into your building. We use brown salt on open tarmac and white de-icing salt on entrances and walkways where you want to avoid mess.

Gritting Before the Ice

We monitor weather forecasts for your area all winter, so your car park can be treated before frost and ice form rather than after the first person slips. If you need us urgently, we respond to emergency call-outs within 3 hours, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Snow Clearance for Car Parks

When snow settles, we clear it from driving aisles, bays, entrances and walkways using our tractor-mounted snow plough and gritting vehicles, then grit the cleared areas to help stop them refreezing. See our snow clearance service.

Priced Per Visit, Proven Every Time

Car park gritting is priced per visit, so you only pay for what your site needs. Every visit is logged in Bennison Connect with GPS-tracked routes, start and finish times and a completion photo, giving you a clear record for your insurance and health and safety files.

Grit Bins for Car Parks

A grit bin near the entrance or a busy ramp lets your team treat small areas between our visits. We supply, fit and refill grit bins and can lay a concrete base where a bin needs bolting down.

Car Park Gritting FAQs

How much does car park gritting cost?

It's priced per visit and depends on the size of the car park and the areas to be treated. Book a free site visit and we'll give you a clear figure.

Do you grit the footpaths into our building too?

Yes. We treat whatever we agree at the site visit, including pedestrian routes, ramps and entrances as well as the car park itself.

Can you grit early, before staff and customers arrive?

That's the idea. We watch the forecast and aim to treat your car park before the ice forms, ready for the morning.
