Our Services
We offer Salt Spreading, Snow Clearance, Weather Forecasting and Salt Sales all tailored to your needs.
Salt Spreading
Providing expert gritting services across the North West, the Midlands and Wales, we ensure premises are accessible and safe during icy conditions. From specific site audits to bespoke gritting plans, we adapt our services to your unique needs, mapping out gritting areas clearly and identifying any pedestrian areas that require manual gritting. We exclusively use eco-friendly, white marine salt. This is a salt of high purity, less corrosive than mined rock salt, leaving less residue and, therefore, reducing staining to flooring surfaces and minimising damage to plants, wildlife and metal surfaces. At Active, we are on call throughout the winter months, with a dedicated team, both at our head office and on the road, here to look after you.
Weather Forecasting
Throughout the gritting season, our team will send detailed weekly weather reports for your area, designed specifically for winter services, sent directly from the Met Office. These forecasts can give you an indication of how much gritting to expect in a week, when to expect it and the possible severity of incoming low temperatures. During particularly cold spells, we can provide more detailed daily reports, if required.
Snow Clearance
Every winter, there comes a time when you may need further assistance in ensuring the safety of your site or workplace. When snow causes obstructions, this can create even further risks and hazards to everyone on site. We have a team of experienced operatives that will clear snow from private roads, car parks and pedestrian areas, using high quality machinery and tools. This is carried out prior to salt spreading the following evening, maximising the chances of the salt doing its work effectively, maintaining a clear, hazard free surface. Snow clearance is a service we offer to all salt spreading customers. This service is available only on request and on the day. Once we receive notification from you that morning, we head out to you.
Salt Sales
We can also supply you with your own salt, both white marine and brown rock salt. These products are sold in bulk bags of various sizes and both delivery and collection can be arranged. If your site has grit bins that require filling throughout the season, we’re also able to do this at regular intervals or as a one off. We can be as flexible as you need.
