Are your premises prepared for the harsh conditions that winter brings? If not, your business could freeze and come to a standstill. Glendale can help you prepare for the adverse weather and make sure your operations run smoothly even when temperatures fall below freezing. There are many reasons why you should hire a winter maintenance company:

• Professional gritting services – make sure your private roads, car park and pavements are free from ice and snow. Prevents employees and visitors from slipping and makes sure vehicles have easy access in and out of your site.
• Snow clearance contractors – snow storms are likely to occur over the winter period, if you’re not prepared then your premises could be covered in snow and you’ll be rushing to call someone to clear it up on short notice. This could be costly and delay your operations. Glendale can clear this up in no time.
• Tree clearance – snow storms can also cause the branches of your trees to break and fall off as well as whole trees also sometimes falling. This could potentially block the entrance and exit to your premises whilst being a safety hazard. Glendale will be able to swiftly come and clear up any trees or debris.

• Tree care – with our winter grounds maintenance plan, Glendale can provide tree inspections and tree management to make sure your trees are prepared for the cold and windy months.
• Safety – the most important reason for hiring our contractors is to make sure your premises is safe. The health and safety of your employees and customers should be your top priority, we’re here to prevent any injuries or falls due to snow and ice on your property.
• Continuous monitoring – Glendale will continue to make sure your premises is safe, whether it’s your trees or the icy ground, we’ll take care of it before it becomes a problem.
• White de-icing paths – premium options in the form of our white de-icing solutions.

We don’t just sit around looking out the window waiting for signs of snow to kick into gear.

Here at Glendale, we have a state-of-the-art G-Live system paired with meteorological data which automatically alerts us and our clients to the expected temperature in their postcode. We invested in this high-tech system because we want to be as prepared as possible for all of our clients – snow and ice storms can put a stop to your business operations, if we’re one step ahead then we can clear this up before it even becomes an issue. Our system makes sure that we’re extremely accurate for our national and regional clients – we know when the temperature will drop to a hazardous or critical level, whether it’s during the day or at night.  Using advanced forecasting technology via metraweather to predict weather patterns, we can be there before the weather really bites.

When a critical level of temperature is reached, our software will alert you and you’ll have four hours to “stand us down” for gritting, we’ll deploy our teams after these four hours, who will then grit/salt the required areas. Access to our live software means you’ll also be able to see when and where we have treated your site, so you’ll know exactly what our team has been up to – live from the field to your smartphone via the Glendale Live app.

Our software makes sure our gritting and snow removal services are preventative and reactive rather than a last-minute rushed effort to clear your site. Our app offers real-time contract data, live photo evidence, complete transparency, proactive contract management and the opportunity to find efficiency gaps. It truly is the best for managing your winter maintenance.
