Ice doesn't wait for office hours. Neither do we.
Winter gritting for commercial car parks, yards and roadways — on autopilot. We monitor your site's ground temperature all season and grit overnight, automatically, whenever the forecast falls below 0°C. You only pay when we come out.
Quoted from satellite measurement of your site — no site visit needed, usually within one working day.
Routes for this winter are finalised on 15 November.
Sites confirmed before then join our core routes at this season's rates — later additions are quoted at +10%.
How it works
Sign up once. Never think about frost again.
No callout requests, no watching the forecast, no 6am panic when the car park's a sheet of ice. Once your site is on our books, cold weather is our problem.
Sign up for season monitoring
£375 +VAT per site covers weather monitoring for the whole season, November to March.
One fixed fee, whatever the winter does. It puts your site on our radar — literally.
We watch the weather so you don't have to worry
We track your site through the Met Office's OpenSite forecast system — accurate ground-temperature readings for your location, not the region's air temperature on the news.
Below zero, we grit. Automatically.
Forecast dips below 0°C? A gritter treats your site overnight, between 17:00 and 04:00. One clear charge per visit, quoted upfront. Not needed? Opt out of any run with a week's notice.
Pricing
Two ways to pay. Both quoted upfront.
Every site is measured from satellite imagery and quoted as a fixed figure before you sign anything. No day rates, no surprises on the invoice.

Why National Grit
Five winters. Zero missed frosts.
We've been gritting commercial sites — manufacturers, logistics yards, schools, retail parks — for five winters. A gritted site isn't just an open site: it's evidence you took reasonable steps to keep staff, drivers and visitors safe.
Marine white salt
Ethically sourced, applied with precision — effective, and kinder to your surfaces than rock salt.
Overnight service window
Runs between 17:00 and 04:00, so your site is treated before the first shift, delivery or school run.
Purpose-built gritters
Trailer and bed-mounted gritting trucks sized for commercial car parks, yards and access roads.
Met Office OpenSite data
Decisions made on your site's forecast ground temperature — not a county-wide guess.
Insured to £1m per claim
Full liability cover, RAMS provided for every site before the season starts.
