Looking After the Areas Around Your Property

Ice and frost can make paths, entrances, steps, driveways and parking areas hazardous. Timely gritting supports safer access during cold conditions, although treated surfaces should still be approached with care.

Trades 247 provides winter gritting support for businesses, facilities teams, landlords and property managers across the UK. We assess the requirement, coordinate the appropriate team and keep you informed from enquiry through to completion. Agreed schedules, service updates and findings can support portfolio and facilities reporting.

Whether you need a one-off repair, seasonal work or a planned programme, you have one reliable point of contact for the job.
