Cold mornings and icy pavements can quickly turn a well-managed site into a safety risk. From car parks and entrances to delivery areas and walkways, slippery surfaces make movement difficult and increase the chance of accidents. That is why businesses across the North West trust Sentrex to keep their premises safe with dependable winter gritting services.


























When temperatures drop below freezing, prevention is better than reaction. Our proactive winter gritting service ensures your surfaces are treated before ice begins to form, helping you avoid hazards and disruption.
As part of our broader facilities management offering, we integrate gritting into your existing maintenance plan, ensuring your site stays accessible and safe throughout the colder months.
Our team constantly monitors Met Office forecasts and local temperature reports so that we can schedule gritting at the right time. By applying salt ahead of frost, we stop ice before it starts. This approach keeps your site open and your people safe, no matter what the weather brings.
We use professional-grade equipment to apply salt evenly, avoiding patchy coverage or waste. Our work is discreet, efficient and timed to suit your operations, often completed overnight or early in the morning before staff and visitors arrive.
Ice-related slips and falls are among the most common causes of workplace injury. With a reliable gritting plan in place, you protect your employees and visitors while also meeting your health and safety obligations.
Our clients include business parks, schools, logistics centres and retail complexes. Whether we are supporting an office in the city centre or providing grounds maintenance in Manchester, every service is delivered with precision, consistency and care.
Every location has its own layout and schedule. Some need coverage at night, others before the morning rush. We tailor our service to fit your site and operational needs, providing everything from one-off treatments to full seasonal management.
Our scheduling is flexible and designed around your existing facilities plan. We coordinate with your team to ensure all high-risk areas are covered, from car parks and paths to service entrances and loading bays.
Winter gritting is just one part of keeping a facility running efficiently. Because we manage multiple services under one structure, we can combine gritting with other essential maintenance tasks.
Our teams coordinate with handyman services to address on-site repairs and with waste management to handle debris and salt residue responsibly. We can even align with your HVAC maintenance and mechanical and electrical services to make sure your site remains warm, safe and fully operational during winter.
Through this integrated approach, every element of your building management works together seamlessly.
Sentrex gritting teams are fully trained, insured and equipped to operate safely in all conditions. Each member follows strict safety protocols and understands the importance of consistency and attention to detail.
Through our training and assessments programmes, we make sure every operative is confident in identifying risk zones and applying grit effectively to prevent accidents.
We provide winter gritting services throughout Manchester, Stockport and Bury, covering everything from small commercial sites to large industrial estates.
Clients who already work with facilities management in Bury often add gritting to their regular service plans for a complete winter solution. Similarly, businesses using commercial cleaning in Manchester or commercial cleaning in Stockport benefit from having all their seasonal maintenance managed by one trusted partner.
We take environmental responsibility seriously. Our equipment ensures precise application that minimises salt waste while maintaining full coverage. By using sustainable de-icing materials and controlling distribution, we reduce impact on surrounding landscaping and drainage systems.
We can also coordinate waste management to collect and dispose of any residual materials responsibly once the season ends.
