Winter is just around the corner – are you prepared?

15th Nov 2017

Dealing with ice and snow on site can be difficult. Accidents are more likely to arise, leaving you liable and potentially causing you a financial loss. Planning in advance helps reduce disruption and outsourcing your winter services saves you hassle, expense and worry.

Here’s 3 reasons why you should outsource your winter maintenance:

• Take the stress out of winter: Outsourcing your winter services means you don’t have to monitor the weather yourself. The Greenfingers team operate a 24-hour service, deploying teams to salt and grit in the early hours so your footpaths, car parks and access roads are kept safe; ensuring minimal disruption. Greenfingers also ensure grit bins are regularly replenished onsite.
• Weather forecasting: Any reputable winter services provider will use high tech Met Office forecasting. This ensures accurate gritting, applied at the correct time to ensure safety. This prevents you wasting time and resources applying grit as a precautionary measure.
• No ‘snow days’: The dreaded ‘snow day’ has the potential to lose your business thousands; staff off work, customers unable to visit, leaving you no choice but to close your premises. Greenfingers come to your establishment to remove snow and apply grit so you stay open.

Greenfingers are the chosen Winter Services contractor for a range of businesses across the UK; from Colleges to Housing Associations with multiple sites, we are used to tailoring our service dependent on scale and requirements.

Whether you want one off gritting or an ongoing service throughout the winter months, Greenfingers can help. Get in contact with a member of the team today to ensure you stay open over winter…
