That’s where gritting comes in, providing a solution to the problems that wintery weather brings. By correctly identifying how bad weather may affect you, and how gritting can solve parts of this, you can ensure a safe winter for all users of your site.

How does gritting roads work?

Gritting roads uses road salt, which is supplied and distributed by private contractors that use gritting vehicles to spread the salt over the roads. The salt then forms a brine with surface water and prevents roads from freezing over.

Finding a commercial gritting contract

When providing a commercial gritting solution, securing a gritting contract is part of it. A gritting contract may not always be successful however, as they must be intrinsically tailored to each person.  

There are three steps to a successful gritting contract, and when considering how to grit:

1. Identify the problem(s)
2. Create a process
3. Provide a practical solution

Identifying problem areas

When considering choosing a gritting contractor, or hiring a grit bin, it’s important that you first consider areas that are a priority problem to grit. If you have a large space that poses a risk at wintertime, then you will need to identify the specific problems in order to apply a solution. For example, a wheelchair ramp is a high priority area to grit, as there is a risk to users, and this could limit accessibility.  

This should form part of your winter risk assessment as standard, but when considering getting the services of a gritting contractor, it’s important you identify any and all areas that are essential to be gritted, and what kind of service agreement you need in order to maintain these areas.

How to identify areas to grit

There are two simple options here, both of which are done best in conjunction.

The first is to do a walk around of the site with the relevant health and safety team, identifying high traffic routes, both for foot traffic and car traffic. Then, note any potential problems that could happen if the weather iced over, and whether gritting is the best solution.

The second is to ask users of your site if they notice any particular problems, or to report problems if they notice heavy ice in a particular area. As this provides you with exact details of an issue, this data, combined with your walkaround, can provide facilities managers, grounds keepers and more with data that is accurate.

Then, once you combine these two data sources, you should have an accurate priority list of where to grit, and the type of gritting needed.

Creating a gritting process

Once the first step is complete and you have your areas that are potentially problematic that need gritting, it is then important to create a process and priority list for gritting. If you have the services of a gritting contractor, then your process list will most likely be drawn up by them and include the areas they will grit with a vehicle, and which it may be best to have gritted by hand, or handheld machine.

Your winter weather process will also detail any other winter workarounds, which may not be gritting an area, but instead finding appropriate alternatives. For example, a concrete wheelchair ramp is riskier when wet and icy than a metal one with drainage holes in. Therefore, while you could grit the ramp, it may be more effective to provide a removable metal one in the case of bad weather. This would form part of your winter weather process.

How to create a winter weather and gritting process

The first thing to do when creating such a process is to speak with your gritting contractor. They will be able to recommend a best process for you, and work with you so you know when to request their services, or when you may need to lay grit yourself.

If you are choosing to do this yourself, then using your priority list of problem areas, you can apply grit, or wait for the services of a gritter to come around.

Providing a practical gritting solution

For many, gritting may seem like a simple task, carried out when the weather drops below a certain point. However, it actually needs a lot of coordination, and intelligent weather forecasting, to make it effective and worthwhile. As grit needs to be laid before the cold weather hits, it’s important to have supplies and solutions in place before the weather worsens.  

How to grit effectively

Grit, in order to be effective, must be down before the ground freezes. This is because, as the water and rock salt mixes, it creates a brine, which has a lower freezing point than water, meaning it roads and footways are safer.

Practical gritting and winter weather solutions

The post How Does Gritting Work? A Guide to Gritting appeared first on Grounds Care Group.

Here are nine surprising facts about gritting, from summer use to salt alternatives.

1. Gritting Happens in Summer Too

While gritting is usually associated with icy roads, gritters are sometimes used in hot weather too. On very warm days, the surface of asphalt roads can soften and become slippery. This is because black tarmac absorbs heat, which lowers surface friction.

By spreading crushed rock dust or fine grit, crews improve traction and reduce surface temperature. It may look strange, but summer gritting helps keep roads safe during heatwaves.

2. Gritters Don’t Actually Spread Grit

Despite the name, modern gritters don’t use “grit” in the traditional sense. Today’s winter treatments use salt, not sand or gravel. The term “gritting” comes from earlier days when cinders and coarse grit were spread to add friction.

Modern vehicles spread rock salt or brine, which works chemically to prevent ice from forming.

3. There Are Different Types of Salt Used for Gritting

Not all road salt is the same. The main types are:

• Brown rock salt – mined from underground, often used in grit bins
• White marine salt – extracted from seawater through evaporation
• Brine – a salt and water solution sprayed as a pre-treatment

At Grounds Care Group, we use marine salt because it’s cleaner, faster to dissolve and more sustainable. It also leaves less residue and is easier on surfaces and nearby vegetation.

4. Grit Needs Vehicles to Work Properly

Salt doesn’t work instantly. After it’s spread, it needs traffic to drive over it. Vehicle tyres help grind the salt into the road surface, speeding up the process of melting ice or preventing it from forming.

This pressure also spreads salt more evenly, improving coverage and making the surface safer for everyone.

5. Salt Stops Working Below -8°C

Salt lowers the freezing point of water, but it only works down to a certain temperature. Standard rock salt is effective until about -8°C. Beyond that, the saline solution it creates starts to freeze too.

In colder conditions, gritting teams may use alternative materials like brine blends or beet juice to treat surfaces more effectively.

6. Excess Salt Can Harm the Environment

Overuse of salt affects soil health, plant life and nearby water sources. When salt washes into drains or seeps into the ground, it can:

• Disrupt the nutrient cycle of plants
• Increase salinity in freshwater habitats
• Harm aquatic life and insects
• Damage roadside vegetation

At Grounds Care Group, we carefully manage our salt use to minimise environmental impact. We also assess each site before gritting to reduce overuse and surface damage.

7. Gritting Saves the UK Economy £1.85 Billion a Year

Road closures and icy disruptions have real financial consequences. Without gritting, the UK economy would lose around £2 billion annually due to:

• Missed deliveries
• Workplace absences
• Increased accidents
• Public service delays

By keeping roads open and accessible, gritting services help protect businesses, emergency response and daily operations nationwide.

8. Beet Juice Is a Powerful Salt Alternative

Beet juice, a byproduct from sugar processing, is gaining popularity as an eco-friendly de-icing solution. It:

• Works in lower temperatures than salt (effective to around -20°C)
• Has a sticky texture that reduces scatter and waste
• Is less corrosive to surfaces and vehicles
• Causes less harm to wildlife and soil

While not widely used yet, Grounds Care Group is actively exploring beet juice as part of a more sustainable winter risk strategy.

9. Road Surface Temperature Matters More Than Air Temperature

You might check your weather app and wonder why gritters are out when it’s still above freezing. The answer lies in road surface temperature (RST), not air temperature.

Surfaces lose heat faster than the air and can fall below 0°C even when the air feels mild. Gritting teams rely on RST sensors and forecasts to time treatments accurately, often gritting in the evening ahead of an overnight freeze.

The post 9 Facts You May Not Know About Gritting appeared first on Grounds Care Group.

For business owners and landowners, there is a duty of care on your land to prevent unwanted risks due to ice and snow for visitors and users of the land, including car parks and other roads. Failing to meet this duty could result in legal liability if someone is injured on your property. 

Being prepared against winter risks is critical to business continuity, especially if you work in healthcare, construction, rail (and transport), leisure and hospitality, and many more sectors.

Who is responsible for gritting roads?

Road gritting responsibility falls to one of three groups:

• Highways Agencies (Highways England, Highways Scotland, etc.)
• County councils
• Private owners of roads

The level of responsibility varies based on factors such as the type of road, traffic volume, and the road’s significance.

Gritting major roads (motorways and major A roads)

Major roads are critical for national connectivity, so the responsibility for gritting motorways and major A roads falls to Highways Agencies, such as Highways England. These agencies ensure that high-traffic routes are gritted promptly to maintain safety and prevent delays. In London, Transport for London manages gritting for trunk roads that feed into the major road network.

Gritting the minor road network

Minor roads, including smaller A roads and essential B roads, are often the responsibility of local authorities, such as county councils. Roads leading to emergency services, like A&E and fire stations, typically receive Priority One or Two gritting status. 

Local councils or their subcontractors handle this maintenance, ensuring important routes remain accessible during winter weather. Businesses near these roads may experience safer and quicker access during icy conditions.

Gritting local roads

Local roads in residential areas are generally not a priority for gritting unless they serve key access points such as schools, railway stations, or medical facilities. In these cases, local councils may grit the roads or provide grit bins for local residents to manage the conditions themselves. Parish councils might also assist in gritting residential streets based on local needs.

Who is responsible for gritting pavements?

The responsibility for gritting pavements typically falls to the owner of the road or land where the pavement is located. If a local council is responsible for gritting a road, they will often aim to spread grit onto the adjacent pavement as well, ensuring safer conditions for pedestrians. However, pavement gritting is not always guaranteed and may depend on the availability of resources and the level of foot traffic in the area.

In some cases, especially near high-traffic areas like schools or medical facilities, local councils may provide grit bins, allowing residents or institutions to manage the gritting of pavements themselves. Private landowners are responsible for gritting pavements on their property, such as those leading to private car parks or businesses, to prevent accidents during icy conditions.

Who is responsible for gritting private car parks?

Private car parks, as they are usually located on private land, fall under the responsibility of the property owner or business operator. For example, a company operating multiple car parks, such as a hospitality chain, must ensure that these areas are properly gritted to prevent potential accidents and liabilities due to icy conditions.

In the case of council-operated car parks, the local council or the appointed car park manager will typically handle gritting. However, for privately owned car parks, businesses should consider engaging professional gritting services to maintain safe driving and walking conditions for customers, employees, and visitors, especially during severe winter weather. This proactive approach not only reduces risk but also ensures compliance with the business’s duty of care obligations.

Where a business relies on key roads for access, larger roads may benefit from professional gritting services to ensure consistent safety. For smaller roads or private car parks, using grit bins may be a more suitable option, allowing staff or visitors to manage the conditions as needed.

Ultimately, businesses have a duty of care to all those accessing their premises. As winter approaches and accidents become more common due to snow and ice, proactive preparation—including regular gritting—can be crucial in mitigating risks and ensuring smooth operations, especially in high-traffic areas.

Understanding Gritting Duty of Care

All landowners and occupiers have a duty of care to ensure the safety of visitors on their premises, especially during winter months. This responsibility includes being prepared for adverse weather conditions, such as snow and ice, by implementing appropriate gritting measures to reduce the risk of accidents.

Whether in retail, construction, or transport, the responsibility for maintaining safe access points, including roads, pavements, and car parks, lies with the business or landowner. Ensuring a winter risk assessment is in place, monitoring weather conditions, and planning gritting strategies are essential steps for fulfilling this duty of care.

The post Who is Responsible for Gritting: Roads, Pavements & Carparks appeared first on Grounds Care Group.

In the wintertime, risks increase, and footfall accessing your property and main roads can experience some form of disruption. Poor weather has caused many businesses to close when they’re underprepared for snow or ice. What’s more challenging is how unpredictably the weather can act in the winter, making preparation so critical if you want to keep your business in continuous operation.

For commercial sites, weather predictions help facilities and premises managers to make better decisions and be prepared. But how are these predictions made?

To understand how experts forecast long range weather predictions for the UK, means to first understand the broader global climate. t There are many different elements influencing the temperature, including sunlight and the ocean’s currents.

In this blog post we break down the latest winter predictions and what is expected to control winter weather forecast predictions for 2021-2022.

You can also learn why the UK Gritting weather forecasting system is industry leading and second to none.

Winter Weather Predictions 2021-2022

With many historical trends set to continue, climate change has made it difficult at times to identify what the future holds. Despite this, long-term forecasting can still predict what might happen in 2021 – 2022 in different regions of the UK.

Here’s what’s likely to happen.

Predictions

The key question here is – is it going to snow at the end of 2021 or at the start of 2022?

Last winter was characterised by heavy and frequent rainfall, causing flooding in certain territories. According to the Met Office, 2020 was a “year of extremes”, including record-setting rainfall throughout the winter. The occasional cold interlude caused disruptions in what has been a largely mild winter in 2020/21.

It seems unlikely that the UK will return to a severely cold winter, where the 2009/10 winter was one of the coldest recorded winters in the past 30 years. Climate projections can be a little troubled by the broader context of global warming, but the likelihood is that the UK will continue to experience mild winters.

Whilst far up north in the Scottish Highlands, residents might have noticed snow-capped mountains, the likelihood of snow across the UK is slim. Yet, the UK has been known to be unpredictable and uncertain, with snowfall often predicted only a few days before it happens, such as when the Met Office forecasted a cold snap in March 2021.

Did you know?

According to the Met Office, 2020-2021 was amongst the wettest winters on record, where February was the wettest it has ever been. This is likely to be part of a wider trend, with increasing rainfall expected to remain consistent throughout the winter months.

How is the Weather Predicted?

Seasonal models are public data that include meteorological information which are regarded as the most accurate weather predictions. The UK Met Office is one of the most highly respected, along with the European ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast), which has a great reputation for long term forecasting.

Data is only demonstrative of how weather patterns might look between 40-60% of the time and so are not absolutes.

The ENSO is still in i’s La Nina (the cold phase), albeit weaker than its peak, and that will influence global weather through the strong, high-pressure system over the North Pacific ocean.

The Past Decade of Average UK Temperature in Winter

Throughout the end of the last century, we saw a lengthy run of much milder temperatures across the winter season, which ended in 2008. Between then and 2013 we saw much colder periods, notably December 2010 which recorded the UKs first sub-zero temperature since 1986. After a severe weather alert during an extremely cold March 2013, winter has been mainly mild.

Except for the small fly in the ointment! In February 2018, the UK was hit by the now famous ‘Beast from the East’ which cost the UK economy an estimated £1BN per day. Yellow and Amber weather warnings from the Met Office were in place over the south of the country and later including the whole of the North West too. The freezing temperatures and blizzards caused chaos to roads, rail and air for several days with central England temperatures around -5°C and 70mph bitter winds of -15°C.

So you can see, it doesn’t take many freezing winters to make a massive impact on a business, which is why Grounds Care Group recommend our winter risk assessments to be completely on the safe side.

Let’s take a brief look at average winter temperatures in the UK over the past decade:

• 2010 – 1.6°C – The coldest winter for over 30 years
• 2011 – 4.5°C – much milder at 0.8°C over average
• 2012 – 3.3°C – slightly colder than average at 0.4°C less than usual temperatures
• 2013 – 5.2°C – We begin to see temperature anomalies, with an increase of 1.5°C above average
• 2014 – 3.9°C – roughly average at just 0.2°C over
• 2015 – 5.5°C – The third warmest temperature recorded in 115 years, 1.8°C above average
• 2016 – 5.0°C – Still very mild compared to usual winter temperatures
• 2017 – 3.6°C – A drop in climate bringing the mean temperature back to average
• 2018 – 5.2°C – Another rise, making a mild winter that year
• 2019 – 5.3°C – Continuing the mild trend
• 2020 – 5.1°C – The fifth wettest winter on record with regular storms and heavy rainfall (data back to 1862)

What Affects the UK Winter?

The truth is, the weather here and across every continent and country in the world is a part of a hugely complex system, which is chaotic and unpredictable. From Russia, Canada and North America, right down to New Zealand and Australia, there are a few major players in what makes the weather.

1. ENSO

El Nino Southern Oscillation or ‘ENSO’ is a region of ocean in the tropical pacific which is divided up into regions and alternates between cold and warm phases. The cold ENSO phase is called ‘La Nina’ and the warm phase ‘El Nino’. The easterly winds (known as trade winds) travel the circumference of the earth and mix the oceans’ surface, altering currents. When ENSO changes phases and emerges up and out of the ocean, the resulting pressure patterns on the atmosphere trigger changes in the weather too. These phases are determined by changes in a specific region in the tropical pacific (usually region 3 or 4), which directly impacts the tropical weather and circulation, which goes on to affect global weather. ENSO is currently in the peak of La Nina – the cold phase until January 2021, which is thought to begin weakening in Spring 2021.

La Ninas jet stream is a powerful flow of air that travels around the entire hemisphere of earth from west to east. As it goes, it affects pressure systems, which determines surface weather. The strongest jet stream happens to extend all the way over the UK. This low pressure system that follows the La Nina jet stream in the North Atlantic has resulted in stormy but mild winter conditions both in Britain and onward to Scandinavian countries.

2. Oscillations

An oscillation is where two things move back and forth at a regular rhythm, so when talking about weather patterns, it is in regard to pressure patterns.

The North Atlantic Oscillation or ‘NAO’ refers to pressure patterns over the North Atlantic, during which block areas of high pressure, pushing colder arctic air down over the UK and some of northern Europe.
The Quasi-biennial oscillation or ‘QBO’ index are the variations of winds that blow miles above the equator in the stratosphere, laterally around the earth, changing direction every year to 14 months. When these winds blow east the phase is negative, when they blow west, it’s positive. The relationship to weather is that, when the QBO is in a negative phase, there’s a greater chance that winter will be colder.

At the moment, the QBO is blowing westward, meaning it’s positive. What’s odd is that they changed direction after just 7 months, as opposed to the usual 14. This change suggests winter will be milder.

3. Solar Activity

Solar activity and the earth’s weather is only a suggested link and as yet not proven. It is thought by some that the position of a solar cycle can increase the chance of a cold winter in Western Europe. Currently, there’s a solar minimum cycle which means improved winter forecast.

Icy roads and pavements are responsible for thousands of accidents year on year, meaning gritting the ground, and getting the timing right, is important to ensure you keep your property and the roads as safe as possible.

So, when should businesses expect to grit roads and paths?

Should you Grit Before Snow and Heavy Rainfall?

One of the most frequently asked questions surrounding gritting is when you should girt, or more specifically, should you grit before snow?

In short, the gritting of roads and paths needs to happen after heavy rainfall, before snowfall and before the ground temperature begins to freeze for maximum effectiveness, especially when snow, ice and frost is forecasted.

This is because the grit itself needs time to dissolve into the existing damp on the ground, it’s best spread before heavy snowfall or frost, rather than during weather events that can make it less effective.

What Temperature Do Gritters Go Out?

Whilst local authorities and gritting companies will have their own specific temperatures that trigger gritting, generally the temperature will be around 0-2 degrees to move them into action.

Ground temperature is used as air temperatures can often be warmer, especially during a cold snap, when the weather changes and becomes colder. Largely, ground temperature is affected by the angle of sun throughout winter, the amount of sunlight affected by the day length, and the cloud cover (where heavier cloud cover traps heat in).

The dew point is key, as this is the point when the air is too cold for water to form and will instead turn to frost or ice on the ground.

What Time Do Gritters Go Out?

Gritters tend to go out in the evening when roads are quieter to ensure that the grit isn’t broken down too much, but, if necessary, they will go out earlier. Normally gritters are on the road between 7pm and 4am. Overnight gritting is important, so if snow falls in the early hours of the morning, the roads are cleared and ready for the morning traffic.

However, if you see gritters out during the day, it usually means a cold spell is coming soon, and that snow is forecast sooner than overnight.

Weather Forecasting For Gritting

For grit to be effective, it needs to be applied before snow falls. Therefore, weather forecasting services need to be consulted in order to predict as accurately as possible when snow will fall. Weather reports are sent from different places across the country, not only determining the predicted ground temperatures, but when the dew point is reached, helping us to understand at what point to send the gritters out.

At Grounds Care Group, we use a combination of the latest technology and equipment, including an understanding of forecasting from the Met Office. The Met Office works with companies across the UK to provide location-specific forecasts and by-the-minute forecasting of snow or the likelihood of ice.

It’s a really important part of any gritting service to have expert weather forecasting as it helps to increase the cost efficiency for any client. While it’s better to grit than risk unsafe road conditions, it’s also important to ensure that excess grit is not spread without reason. 

As companies employ us to help them fulfil their duty of care, we look at regional factors as counties may be affected by snow and ice differently.

The Importance Of Considering Gritting Early

The earlier people think about gritting the better. Contractors such as Grounds Care Group get very busy during winter, so it’s important to obtain a contract before the cold snap happens and grit becomes key to keeping the roads safe and in-use.

Many gritting contractors have existing routes, and often they may go past your business without realising. Adding your business to their existing route may not be too much trouble, so always enquire early for maximum effectiveness.

Similarly with HSE compliance, all businesses have a duty of care over their employees and visitors to keep them safe from slips, trips and falls, which is why it is important to make sure you have secured these services early, to fulfil risk assessment requirements.If you’re looking for a gritting contractor, get in touch with Grounds Care Group today.

The post When Should You Grit? appeared first on Grounds Care Group.

This guide breaks down the process of road gritting, when it should be done, and how to plan your winter maintenance effectively.

What Is Road Gritting?

Road gritting is the process of applying salt or brine to roads, pavements and car parks to stop ice from forming. It works by lowering the freezing point of water, helping to keep surfaces safe for both vehicles and pedestrians.

By treating roads before frost or snow arrives, gritting helps prevent accidents and reduces disruption.

What Are the Benefits of Road Gritting?

The advantages of winter gritting go far beyond safety. Without it, ice-related delays and incidents could cost the UK economy billions each year. Key benefits include:

• Preventing slips, trips and vehicle accidents
• Keeping access routes and sites open for business
• Reducing disruption for public services and logistics
• Helping businesses meet their duty of care
• Supporting sustainability goals with eco-friendly materials

What Is a Road Gritter?

A road gritter is a vehicle designed to spread salt, brine or other de-icing materials across surfaces. These vehicles are equipped with systems that control the flow and distribution of grit, often based on live road surface temperature readings.

Gritters operate on motorways, local roads, commercial sites and private estates depending on the conditions and responsibilities involved.

How Does Gritting Actually Work?

Salt dissolves into moisture on the road and forms a saltwater solution, known as brine. This solution freezes at a lower temperature than water, which helps to prevent the formation of ice.

Some gritters apply liquid brine directly, while others spread dry rock salt mixed with sand or additives to improve effectiveness. Newer options such as beet juice or calcium-based products may also be used in colder climates or environmentally sensitive areas.

When Is the Best Time to Grit?

The ideal time to grit is before temperatures fall below freezing. Gritting is typically carried out in the early evening or overnight, when conditions are expected to deteriorate.

Professional gritting teams rely on road surface temperature (RST) forecasts rather than air temperature. This ensures that treatment is applied before ice has the chance to form.

What’s the Difference Between Road and Air Temperature?

Roads lose heat more quickly than the surrounding air, especially at night. This means the road surface temperature can drop below freezing even when the air temperature stays above zero.

Because of this, gritting is often scheduled based on RST forecasts, not just general weather predictions.

Can You Grit Before It Snows?

Yes. Pre-treatment before snowfall is one of the most effective ways to prevent snow from bonding to the road surface. This makes clearing snow easier and helps prevent compacted ice from forming.

Gritting after snow has already settled is less effective and may require additional snow clearance.

What Materials Do Gritters Use?

Although commonly referred to as “grit,” the materials used in gritting vary. Common options include:

• Rock salt (sodium chloride): The most widely used option to lower freezing points
• Brine: A salt and water solution that adheres well to surfaces
• Beet juice: A more sustainable option that works at lower temperatures
• Sand and anti-caking agents: Improve grip and help spread salt evenly

The choice of material depends on the site type, temperature and environmental goals.

How to Plan Your Winter Gritting Strategy

To prepare your site effectively for winter, consider the following:

• Which areas need to be treated regularly, such as access roads, footpaths or car parks
• Whether you prefer a pay-as-you-go approach or a fixed seasonal contract
• What sustainability or compliance goals your business needs to meet

Partnering with a professional gritting company gives you peace of mind and ensures you’re ready to respond to changing weather conditions.

Nationwide Gritting service UK Gritting says absolutely not! Even with warmer winters, you will still need to have a winter maintenance plan in place. The need for protection against legal claims for slips trips and falls will still be vital for any business that has premises used by customers, staff and visitors. 

 Climate Change Adaptation

In July 2019, the appearance of gritting lorries between sweltering traffic jams became a regular sight. On instruction from local council managers, the vehicles followed much the same road network routes at they would between November and March for salt spreading. Except this time they weren’t putting rock salt down, they were laying fine sand. Known as ‘dusting’, the technique is designed to ‘de-stick’ melting tarmac in 30 degree heat.  The alternative to not doing that is basically blobs of tarmac sticking to vehicle tyres, taking chunks of the road surface with it. It goes without saying, this is almost as unsafe and costly as it is to drive on as ice.  

Being able to adapt to the impacts of climate change is going to be critical for all business. So does that mean that UK Gritting is about to start ‘summer gritting’?

The short answer is no. We still anticipate plenty of need for winter gritting!

Despite road temperatures not dropping as low in the future, we still expect to regularly see temperatures drop to the freezing point of zero degrees in winter. That means freezing rain and dangerous black ice on the roads and that means hazards will still remain very real.   

Regardless of warmer winters overall, short sharp cold snaps are still going to be a part of the UK weather. Ice and snow means you’ll still need to plan ahead and be ready. A professional gritting company has access to the latest weather forecasting technology and monitor the weather daily. That means you’ll always be prepared for any eventuality and your business won’t be hindered by icy conditions.

That said, we’d be foolish not to account for the increased amount of water we’ll be dealing with. 

How Does Climate Change Affect Rainfall?

According to The Climate Change Committee, our weather systems are set to fundamentally change. 

This is largely thanks to the rising sea levels as a result of global warming. Increased temperatures caused by excess CO2 in the atmosphere, have meant that polar glaciers have begun to melt at an alarming rate. A process known as ‘the big thaw’.  

The once frozen ice, pours fresh water continually into the oceans causing sea levels to increase. To add to the mix, the temperature within the oceans has also risen, causing the water to expand. 

These warming oceans evaporate into the atmosphere, which alters the amount of water and energy in the air. It’s thought that the rise in temperature of the Atlantic Ocean is solely responsible for half of the wet season changes in the Amazon rainforest.   

But back to the UK. This wetter weather will almost certainly mean weather stations flagging more flooding in the UK during winter season. But what does it mean for our private and public roads and what does all this rain mean for gritting? 

The truth is, weather conditions in the UK will always be volatile. Businesses will still need winter maintenance contracts to ensure their business grounds are kept safe. The fact that it will still get cold enough for ice to form, means continued litigation and claims for slips trips and falls at work. 

As a business owner and facilities manager, it’s your responsibility to make sure your road surfaces, pavements and general site is as safe as reasonably possible. 

Find out more about how slips trips and falls can affect your workplace in our blog ‘Slips Trips and falls on your site – Risk assessment action for your business’.

Of course, climate change problems are set to challenge more than just gritting.

Anyone that has control over any green space is now encouraged to step up and maximise green infrastructure at every opportunity. That includes grounds maintenance companies like Grounds Care Group.

How Will Climate Change Affect Grounds Maintenance?

Water will be a big buzz word and not just because of floods. Along with the proliferate rainfall, we’ll suffer summer droughts too, which means water preservation will be paramount. Any company dealing with water should look for methods to reduce, reuse and recycle it wherever possible. 

As water becomes more of a precious commodity, we are likely to see environmental policies introduced. All companies are expected to take heed of the upcoming problems of water shortages.

The Royal Horticultural society report in 2017 ‘Gardening in a Changing Climate’ details how average UK temperature will continue to rise by as much as 2 degrees in the next century. In the south, weather is generally expected to get drier and hotter, whilst in the north it will become wetter.  

That means that anyone that owns or manages outdoor green space should already be taking steps to mitigate changes made by global warming.  

A perspicacious Grounds maintenance business will invariably be ready and prepared to adapt to these new regular conditions too. 

Part of those adaptations will be 

• A need for more weeding, mowing and pruning thanks to extended growing periods. 
• There will need to be more strategy about which plants to bed – those able to withstand extreme weather events will be preferred, along with those that can retain water. Likewise, the application of fertilisers will need to be timed exactly so as not to wash away in extra rainfall. 
• Water capture and storage will be paramount for times in the summer when there is expected to be more frequent hosepipe bans. Irrigation systems might become more of a regularity, bearing in mind costs of maintaining plants will be lower than frequent replanting. Contingency plans to bring water on site will need to be thought out and prepared. 
• Pest control is likely to be of higher priority. Warmer weather generally means a rise in the number of diseases and nuisance pests. 
• Soil health is critical for the future health of plants, crops and our planet. Biodiversity in the soil should be catered for by planting and leaving established plants well alone, rewilding where possible and reducing the use of pesticides and fertilisers overall. 

Read more about why soil health is so important in our blog ‘Why Healthy Soil is important for the landscape and the environment.

What’s Best Practice for Gritting Companies to be more Eco?

In terms of winter gritting, we may well get more used to the sight of a gritting lorry spreading sand for melting roads. But they won’t be able to stop salting, gritting and snow clearance. 

Like grounds management, we anticipate a more intensive approach to the environmental impact. From an environmentally friendly perspective, grit laying companies could be much more precise about salt quantities. We know that excess salt kills surrounding plant life. We also know that gritting salt can end up washing into waterways and affecting rivers, lakes and ponds, so it’s vital that it is carefully measured and not over used. 

UK Gritting is passionate about sustainability, just like our parent company Grounds Care Group. We already have a number of modern technologies in place that prevent wasting salt and unnecessary gritting. 

• Our cutting edge weather forecast technology helps us know exactly best times to begin the salt spread
• Our route planning strategy ensures we use as little fuel as possible
• We also only use marine salt, which is the most sustainable option 
• We’re investigating using beetroot as an eco-friendly alternative to brine.  

To learn more about how gritting can be more environmentally friendly, why not check out our blog ‘How Road Grit and Gritting can be Eco Too’.

Ultimately, we know that every one of us needs to tighten our belts and focus on waste reduction in every sense. 

Grounds Care Group and UK Gritting take the climate crisis seriously. From better water management, to planting wildflower meadows that help bee populations… From using less salt in our gritting techniques to advising customers on native more carbon capturing trees, we’re firmly focused on improving our green credentials at every opportunity. 

Green spaces are an investment, not just in your business premises looking pretty, but as an asset that contributes to a better, healthier planet. By changing the way we manage grounds maintenance (in whichever area), we have an opportunity to reduce any negative environmental impact. 

We highly recommend that, as grounds maintenance contractors, you allow us to help you audit your site to see where it might be possible to maximise green infrastructure. Any changes can be incorporated into your regular maintenance so that costs are kept down as green space help to contribute to your business eco conduct.

For a no obligation green survey or winter maintenance contract, why not pop us an email or call us. Our extensive offerings cover every aspect of grounds maintenance and we take great pride in developing exceptional and long-lasting business relationships with our customers!

In this blog, Grounds Care Group focus on what can happen if you don’t take proper care to safeguard the outside areas of your site. We include a guide on what to look out for when doing your onsite risk assessment and detail our own comprehensive winter maintenance contract. We want you to feel complete confidence that you’ll avoid accidents, as well as expensive claims this cold season. 

Slips, Trips and Falls Statistics

People hurting themselves through avoidable accidents at work pose real risks to business. In fact, in 2018, 27.3 million work days were lost due to work place injury and work related illness. The costs to Britain for workplace self-reported injuries and ill health exceeded £16 billion in 2018-19.

In particular, thousands of people are sent to hospital thanks to injury from falling during winter. In fact, in the winter of 2014-2015, there were 2,919 admissions directly as a result of people slipping over in icy conditions. In one instance in October 2015, a prison guard was awarded half a million pounds in compensation, after slipping on ice during patrol duty.

Listed as the most cause of common injury in the workplace, slips, trips and falls are responsible for over 40% of non-fatal accidents at work. Of course, a bruised shin or twisted ankle isn’t such a big deal, but what about a permanent disability or even death? Falling from height makes up to 25% of fatal accidents in the working environment in the UK. The UK government have long been aware of the economic and personal costs of slips, trips and falls and offer guidance on the correct procedures. 

If a proper winter maintenance service isn’t in place and employees or visitors slip over on ice on your premises you are liable. Organisations can experience real disruption in productivity with losses, legal claims, absentee employees and upset staff. Whether you’re in industrial business, office based, social housing or retail, you have an economic, moral and legal responsibility to make your premises are as safe as possible. 

What’s the Difference Between Slips, Trips and Falls?

By definition a slip is to do with a lack of friction between the footwear and the surface a person walks on. During winter, ice is a major culprit for slipping over. Applying grit to affected areas is an easy way of preventing slips.

A trip, on the other hand, is when a persons’ foot makes contact with an object on the ground or floor or a step, which knocks them off balance. Trips can be minimised by ensuring even surfaces throughout the working environment.

Despite what you might think, a fall isn’t just from a great height. It also includes falling from the same height as the ground. It generally involves a person losing their centre of balance.

What Are the Legal Requirements to Prevent Slips, Trips and Falls at Work?

Any HR or safety executive worth their salt, knows there are many specific legal requirements about health and safety at work. These rules aren’t just for employees, but for any external people who work on the premises, as well as visitors to the site.

Thanks to these stringent legislations, the UK has some of the lowest fatalities at work rate in Europe. According to the Health and Safety Executive Key Statistics and Figures, some 90% of UK companies regularly conduct risk assessments. 

As an expert grounds care maintenance company, Grounds Care Group make sure the exterior areas of your company adhere to all relevant safety laws, as below.  

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSW Act), states that sufficient and suitable control measures must be in place, to reduce the risk slips, trips and falls to the lowest rate possible. 

Under the HSW Act 1974, employees must never be required to endanger themselves or others, should cooperate with their employers, and should use safety equipment provided by their employer. 

Manufacturers and suppliers have a duty to ensure their products are safe, with a supply of adequate information of how to use the products. To learn more about the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 click here.

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, details the need for employers to assess risks (including slips, trips and falls) and communicate those risks. Employers also have an obligation to investigate any incident that occurs. Employees have a duty to report potential danger or shortcomings they find in the organisation of health and safety. Further information on the Management of Health and Safety and Work Regulations 1999 can be found here.

The Workplace Health Safety and Welfare Regulations 1992, also contain further information about flooring and traffic flow and how they should be kept even, clean and clear at all times. The code of practice for The Workplace Regulations can be found here.

The Workplace Health Safety and Welfare Regulations 1992, also contain further information about flooring and traffic flow and how they should be kept even, clean and clear at all times. The code of practice for The Workplace Regulations can be found here.

The ‘Working at Height Regulations 2005’ stipulates that anyone working from height (such as a ladder or stepladder) must properly plan to do so. That includes ensuring the surfaces that you work on are even and stable. We can all imagine what would happen if you tried to place a ladder on uneven ground. As there is plenty of work that goes on outside of a building at height, it’s also important to be aware of the guidelines in place. Find the brief overview of working with heights.

Grounds Care Group have a fully comprehensive winter risk management with full liability protection and comprehensive insurance. Our professional gritting service minimises all the associated risks of winter time, such as snow clearance, ice management and gritting, which improves the safety of your business, whilst mitigating claims should they arise.   

Our live reporting and scheduling system offers complete efficiency and ease for our customers. With minute to minute reporting on our services, you get a risk assessment tool at your fingertips, because we include inspection reports without you even asking. 

With our grounds maintenance service, we investigate the entire outside area of your property, thoroughly. From waste clearance and litter picking to leaf removal, from pot hole fixing to uneven surfaces, we aim to keep your site clear and risk free.  We cover a number of different sectors and can provide case studies for many happy customers. 

Grounds Care Group spend considerable time applying thorough control measures to places of work. That includes a slip assessment tool and falls risk assessment, with careful monitoring of weather conditions. Simple attention to detail, from securing trailing cables or removing spills, all help to minimise slip potential. 

Grounds Care Group work together with you for all your external grounds risk assessment needs.

That might include things like:   

Identification of Hazards

• Checking previous accident records
• Establishing which groups of people could potentially come to harm
• Establishing how might those people come to harm
• Get feedback from employees
• Consider visitors to your workplace, where will they be and what will they be doing

Evaluate Risks and Take Precautions

• Decide what to do about the hazards you have identified
• Look at what risk management you already have in place and assess if you can improve on that
• Develop a strategy to work around risks e.g. cleaners come out of hours, gritting staircases
• Adhering to health and safety risk assessments with every change of design to the workplace
• Ensuring areas are well
• Using signage for potential danger e.g. wet floor
• Remove waste regularly to ensure there is no health and safety or trip hazard
• Making sure Fire exits are completely clear at all times
• Dealing with ice and snow as well as slippery leaves during autumn and winter

Record All Findings in a Risk Register

• The law requires you to demonstrate how you have identified and implemented your risk assessments. Recording this in a legible way, means you’re covered if someone should still have a slip, trip or fall at work. If you can show that you have done everything within reason to prevent slips from happening, you are doing your job correctly and are mitigating any insurance claims 

The good news is, risk management is usually fairly straightforward

By implementing ‘reasonably practicable measures’ as above, you’re already half way to ensuring accidents happen less, or not at all. 

Once risk management is in place, regular maintenance is all that’s needed to upkeep the necessary standard. We recommend educating staff on what’s been put in place, to help achieve the goal of all workers going about their day safely.   

Grounds Care Group is the choice for any business of association that wishes to make absolutely sure they are covered for all potential slips, trips and falls. If you’d like a no obligation chat about the various grounds maintenance services we offer, whatever the weather, why not give our friendly customer services team a call? We’re on hand to give sound advice and competitive quotes.

Gritting is essential for keeping roads, pavements and car parks safe in winter. But can it be done in an environmentally friendly way?

Yes. With the right materials, methods and timing, winter gritting can reduce risk without harming the planet. This guide explains how eco gritting works, what makes salt sustainable and how Grounds Care Group helps clients stay safe and environmentally responsible.

What Is Gritting?

Gritting is the process of applying salt or a salt-based solution to surfaces to stop ice forming. It lowers the freezing point of water so snow and frost melt quickly or don’t stick at all.

Most winter gritting uses rock salt. Brine, a salt and water mix, is also used to prevent ice from forming on high-risk surfaces.

Can Road Grit Be Eco-Friendly?

Yes. Gritting becomes eco-friendly when:

• The right material is used (e.g. white marine salt or brine)
• Salt is applied at the right time based on road surface temperature
• Spreaders are calibrated to avoid waste
• Routes are planned to minimise travel and reduce emissions

By combining accurate forecasting with smart application, gritting can protect people and reduce environmental impact.

What Is the Problem With Road Salt?

Rock salt is effective but can cause environmental harm when overused:

• Soil damage: Excess salt harms roots and reduces plant growth
• Water pollution: Salt runoff enters drains and waterways, affecting wildlife
• Surface wear: Too much salt erodes concrete, tarmac and paving
• Wildlife risk: Salt is toxic if ingested and can burn animals’ paws or fur

The goal is to apply the least amount of salt needed to stay safe.

Is Brine Better Than Rock Salt?

Brine is a pre-wet solution of salt and water. It’s sprayed before frost arrives and works by stopping ice from bonding to the surface.

Brine is:

• More targeted than dry grit
• Less wasteful as it sticks to surfaces
• Better for the environment due to lower salt use

It’s often the first choice for preventing ice on footpaths, loading bays and frequently used car parks.

How Grounds Care Group Reduces Environmental Impact

We take a proactive approach to eco-friendly gritting. Our services include:

Marine-Sourced White Salt

We use pure white salt evaporated from seawater. It contains fewer impurities, spreads more evenly and dissolves faster. Less material is needed to get the same result.

Brine Application

Brine helps reduce total salt use by stopping ice before it forms. It’s ideal for businesses focused on sustainability or sites where overspreading must be avoided.

Accurate Forecasting

We monitor road surface temperatures, not just the air. This helps us grit only when needed, saving salt and avoiding unnecessary applications.

Tailored Site Plans

Every site is assessed before winter. We build a plan around usage, exposure and surface type, choosing the right balance of grit and brine.

Efficient Routing

Our vehicles are GPS-tracked and route-planned in advance. This cuts emissions, reduces fuel use and speeds up service during weather events.

Does Road Salt Help Reduce Carbon Emissions?

Yes. While salt itself has some environmental risks, gritting keeps roads open and traffic moving. If icy roads slow or stop vehicles, fuel consumption and emissions go up. Well-timed gritting reduces:

• Idling in traffic queues
• Stop-start driving
• Longer journey times

That means fewer emissions from cars and delivery fleets during cold weather.

Are There Alternatives to Salt?

We’re actively exploring lower-impact materials such as beet juice extract. It:

• Works at lower temperatures than salt
• Has a sticky texture that reduces scatter
• Is less harmful to soil and animals

Beet juice is still emerging in the UK but could play a bigger role in sustainable gritting as supply grows.

Can You Grit Without Damaging Surfaces?

Yes. Damage from salt usually happens when:

• Too much salt is applied
• Spreaders are poorly calibrated
• Surfaces are already weak or cracked

Using trained staff, correct dosages and modern equipment reduces this risk. Pure white salt also causes less staining and surface residue than brown rock salt.

What Makes Gritting Sustainable?

Sustainable gritting includes:

• Using the least harmful material for the surface
• Choosing brine when conditions allow
• Planning routes to avoid fuel waste
• Avoiding overuse of salt
• Sourcing salt responsibly from marine reserves
• Reporting and reviewing usage after each job

All these steps help reduce cost, carbon impact and disruption.

Why Work With an Eco-Focused Gritting Company?

Grounds Care Group provides sustainable winter gritting that:

• Uses brine and marine salt to reduce impact
• Offers live job tracking and service logs
• Plans custom routes and avoids overspreading
• Helps clients meet sustainability targets

From supermarkets and hospitals to schools and office parks, we support clients who care about people and the planet.

If you’re the facility manager or property manager of any business or borough council, you already understand why it’s so important to be prepared and ready for the winter. Grounds maintenance services need to be in order so that private commercial sites are kept safe all year round, but winter brings additional hazards.

The biggest threat to safety on private commercial sites (or any!) during winter is ice and wet. Icy, slippery surfaces can be combated with gritting. There are plenty of dangers of not gritting your site properly too. Wherever there are people on site, whether staff, clients, patients, students or in vehicles, you need to know they will be safe.

Knowing you have provided a space that has reduced the risk of accident or injury as much as possible, not only gives peace of mind and confidence for you and your colleagues but also avoids potential financial repercussions. After all, no property manager wants a liability claim on their hands or a damaged company reputation to deal with.

Grounds Maintenance Services

Year-round maintenance of your property is an ongoing requirement, and winter maintenance is no different. As soon as grass cutting season is over, autumn brings its own cautions with messy, wet and slippery leaves everywhere. Although it’s really important to have your grounds looking professional, the health and safety element is a legal obligation. You might already have a small on-site team in place, but winter is particularly stressful if the weather throws a curveball. Full annual grounds control helps you stay on top of the sometimes overwhelming number of services in grounds maintenance.

‘A good maintenance contractor will be able to provide you with a year-round cyclic strategy that will ensure your site is prepared for all seasons. Specifically trained staff will have access to a wide range of specialised equipment, designed to cope with grounds maintenance needs every month, and especially in winter when things can get riskier.

Services you should expect your grounds maintenance winter contract to include are:

– Winter risk management

– Weather forecasting and monitoring

– 24 hour reaction times

– Salt supplies and grit bins

– Single or multi-site gritting options

– Snow clearance

How Does Salt Actually Work in Winter Gritting?

Salt has a unique ability to reduce the danger of ice because it’s able to dissolve the very top layer. Once this slippery surface layer of liquid water disintegrates, the salt merges down into the next layer and continues like that until the ice has turned into non-slippery mush. This clever chemical reaction works for every temperature of ice right down to minus 9 degrees. Luckily, here in the UK we don’t experience such low temperatures, which means our tried and tested gritting service always works. We take the added precaution of laying salt out overnight, because salt is known to be a better preventative than cure and applying it before the ice forms, stops it freezing altogether.

UK Gritting, the sister company of Grounds Care Group will always opt for the most environmentally friendly options and in the case of gritting, we supply white salt, rather than brown. We find white salt is not only cleaner and more efficient to apply, it is more aesthetically pleasing!

What are the Benefits of a Complete Grounds Maintenance Contract?

– Having a bespoke company tend to your land, means you completely remove the ‘to-do’ list of seasonal requirements in property management

– With a year-round contract, you’re likely to make significant savings, since regular clients receive discounts on bulk service buying

– You get the peace of mind that every day of the year is catered for

– You don’t need to invest in equipment you’re only likely to use for a small portion of the year, or find mass storage for things like gritting salt!

A nationwide company like Grounds Care Group offers a complete, wrap-around grounds service for the whole year that is designed to cater to your exact needs. You get a dedicated agent to speak with, who will deal with every query or issue you have. That saves hours in admin and research and lets you get back to tending to the more important aspects of your job.
