Ground Control is the largest private gritting and snow clearance provider in the UK. We provide service to over 10,000 sites which benefit from our proactive gritting services. Local teams are always close by to ensure safety and productivity throughout the winter, however harsh the weather conditions. We operate nationwide from over 200 gritting team and depot locations, from which we deploy our fleet of salt spreaders and winter gritting lorries. Working with local teams, we are always close by, at your service whatever the weather. By being local, this helps us reduce our carbon footprint. Our proactive service ensures that your site has a winter maintenance plan, which is necessary to ensure your business stays safe and open through the winter. Service is triggered based on the weather forecast for road conditions. We apply salt before the formation of frost, ice, or snow fall. This activates the salt to prevent bonding with the road surface.
