Winter Service
As a property owner or operator, you're responsible for making sure paths and driveways are safe to use in snow and ice. We reliably handle the clearing and gritting duties, fully documented, so your property is safely accessible before your operations begin.
What's included?
Snow clearing
Clearing footpaths, driveways, parking areas and entrances when it snows.
Gritting in icy conditions
Gritting at-risk areas in ice and frost to reduce the risk of slipping.
Service before opening
Early visits, so paths and driveways are already safe by the time your business opens.
Weather monitoring & standby
Ongoing monitoring of weather conditions, so we can respond even to a sudden cold snap.
Documentation of visits
Traceable records of clearing and gritting visits as evidence in case of an incident.
Safe passage through winter
In Germany, property owners and operators are generally responsible for keeping paths and driveways on their property safe in snow and ice. If someone falls on an inadequately cleared or gritted surface, it can raise liability questions for the responsible party – a risk that a reliably organised winter service noticeably reduces.
For commercial properties with heavy customer and staff traffic in particular, it's essential that paths and parking areas are already safe before operations begin, so business can start without delay. Traceable documentation of every visit also creates clarity about when and to what extent clearing and gritting took place.
