Winter gritting - order now to avoid the rush

As a property manager, it's important to remember that the upcoming winter will pose a threat to the safety of people on your site.

While the temperatures may currently not be as low as previously experienced, it's vital to stay prepared for the possibility of icy or snowy conditions this winter and have your winter gritting and snow clearing requirements booked to cover you for every eventuality.

Statistics and historical data report that September is often warm, but you should still think ahead and order winter gritting

Although it's been a miserable summer in the UK, we are set for a fine start to September. In fact, our Septembers are generally mild and pleasant, with daytime temperatures ranging from 9 to 17 degrees Celsius. Nights tend to be cooler and you'll usually find a heavy dew on the ground in the mornings, with temperatures dropping down to 5 to 12 degrees Celsius - there is usually an average of 15 days of rain in September, with an average rainfall of 2.5 inches.

It is also rare for it to snow or freeze in September. However, weather can always be unpredictable, and there have been cases of snow falling in September, especially in the higher altitudes of Scotland and Northern England. In 2018, snow fell in parts of Scotland and Northern England in September. The snow caused travel disruption and closed schools in some areas. In 2013, there was also a rare snowfall in London in September.

Of course, one of the best ways to ensure that your property is safe and accessible all winter is by using a professional and adaptable winter service provider such as OUTCO to provide your winter gritting services, and to order the service with plenty of time spare so that your site is always ready.
