Home » Complete Proactive Gritting Services to Protect Your Business

At Bawcro Snow & Gritting Services, we provide gritting services. We operate in West Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, and Mid Wales. We help businesses, schools, estates, and facilities managers keep their sites safe and accessible all winter.

Our commercial gritting service is about staying ahead of the weather. Using live data and surface temperature monitoring, we grit roads, car parks and footpaths before ice or snow arrives. This reduces risk, avoids disruption and keeps your site open whatever the forecast.

What Is Proactive Gritting?

Proactive gritting is the process of applying rock salt before frost or snow has a chance to settle. This prevents ice from forming and stops snow from bonding to the ground.

By treating surfaces in advance, you reduce slip risks, prevent accidents and avoid costly reactive call-outs later.

At Bawcro, we never guess. We use precise road temperature data and local weather forecasts. This helps us grit only when necessary, making our services cost-effective and efficient.
