FOOTPATH GRITTING
ROCHDALE

Rochdale sits in the Roch Valley with the Pennine hills rising steeply to the north and east. The town is exposed to cold air from the Pennines and the surrounding elevated areas experience significantly worse winter conditions than the valley floor. Footpaths, pedestrian walkways and loading bays are among the highest-risk areas for slip and fall incidents on commercial sites in Rochdale. These surfaces are often overlooked in standard gritting programmes — but they are precisely where the most serious incidents occur. A single slip on an untreated footpath can result in a significant liability claim.

West Yorkshire Gritting Co provides specialist footpath gritting and pedestrian area treatment in Rochdale using compact specialist vehicles and appropriate de-icing products. Rochdale has a strong commercial and industrial base with significant logistics, manufacturing and retail operations throughout the borough including the Kingsway Business Park. We treat footpaths, pedestrian walkways, loading bay approaches, steps, ramps and entrance areas — all the surfaces where a slip and fall incident is most likely to occur.
