Freezing weather can create serious hazards for anyone using outdoor spaces. Poorly maintained surfaces can quickly become slippery, leading to an increased risk of trips, falls, and accidents. Proactive winter gritting helps prevent these risks and ensures you meet your duty of care under health and legislation.
By choosing Glendale, your site will be monitored and managed by experienced professionals using the best equipment available and our reliable processes.
Each site is different, which is why our winter gritting services are tailored to your specific layout, risk areas, and hours of operation. The team can prioritise high footfall zones, disabled access points, and emergency routes to ensure critical safety first.
Planned gritting schedules can be adapted as the season progresses. If icy and snowy predictions are predicted, our team will adjust service times to treat areas in advance of freezing. If temperatures do rise, we’ll hold back to avoid unnecessary salting. This approach saves money and reduces environmental impact without compromising safety.
We currently deliver winter services to a wide range of clients in the Bolton area, including:
Our work supports safe access for staff, residents, visitors, and contractors. We understand the specific operational needs of each setting and adapt our approach accordingly.
Glendale’s Bolton-based team understands the local conditions, road networks, and priority areas that matter in winter. We will also work in close partnership with your team, providing clear communication and regular updates throughout the season.
Employers and site owners have a legal duty to ensure access routes are safe during icy or snowy weather. Failure to act can result in serious injury claims, reputational damage, and financial loss.
By outsourcing your gritting needs to a trusted provider, you ensure timely intervention is carried out, hazards are minimised, and the risk of disruption is reduced. Our records include timestamped service logs, vehicle tracking, and route data – ready to support you in the event of any claim or incident.
Glendale is committed to responsible winter maintenance. We used calibrated spreaders to avoid over-salting and reduce unnecessary waste. Our grit is sourced responsibly, and wherever possible, we use low-emission vehicles for site visits.
Winter gritting is most effective when planned well in advance. Our team offers no-obligation winter site surveys across Bolton and the surrounding areas. We’ll visit your location, assess risk areas, and provide a bespoke gritting plan suited to your layout and operational needs.
