HDGS Winter Services: Your Safety Partner

Our winter services encompass a range of solutions designed to maintain access and safety on your commercial and residential properties, regardless of their size:

Gritting: Ensuring Safe Surfaces

HDGS employs professional equipment to efficiently spread salt and ensure even coverage. We use white salt, that minimises residue on internal surfaces, such as carpets. By distributing salt effectively, we prevent the buildup of ice and snow, maintaining clear and safe pathways.

Snow Removal: Swift and Effective Clearing

We offer both mechanical and manual snow removal services. Our team clears pedestrian access points, walkways, car parks, and fire exits. Whether it's for commercial or residential properties, our snow removal ensures that access routes are safe and functional.

Salt Supply and Storage: Preparedness Matters

To enhance our services, we offer the supply of salt and storage options. Preparedness is crucial, and with our expertise, you'll always be ready to face winter's challenges head-on.

Intelligent Forecasting for Gritting Decisions

Our Met Office OpenSite Premium Data forecast provides crucial insights for effective gritting decisions. By focusing on Road Surface Temperatures (RSTs), road state, rain, and snow, we pinpoint potential hazards and implement pre-agreed risk thresholds.

Detailed Gritting Reports: Transparency and Accountability

With HDGS, you're in the know. Our GPS trackers and mapping system generate detailed reports of our gritting and winter service visits, providing transparency and accountability throughout the season.

Seamless Gritting Execution: Our Process

Every morning, we receive tailored weather reports for each postcode we cover, accounting for factors like site exposure, altitude, and proximity to the sea. When RST falls below 0°C and frost, ice, or snow is forecasted, you receive an email notification confirming gritting activation.

Advanced Gritting Techniques:

HDGS uses state-of-the-art GPS tracking to optimize routes, ensuring every property is visited within 24 hours prior to icy conditions. Our teams spread white grit salt, a cleaner alternative to brown rock salt, preventing damage to flooring and stains on carpets.

Efficient Snow Removal: Petrol-Powered Equipment

For effective gritting, HDGS employs powerful petrol-powered snow plows and blowers. We guarantee all access routes to and from your property are safe and ice-free.
