EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Reactive gritting and emergency winter response for businesses across Wakefield, Pontefract, Castleford, Normanton and the wider West Yorkshire area. 24/7 callout service, own fleet, £10M public liability cover.
REACTIVE GRITTING
WAKEFIELD
Wakefield sits on the flat plain of the Calder Valley with open terrain that offers little shelter from cold easterly winds. Ice can form rapidly across large exposed surfaces and the M1 and M62 junction areas are particularly exposed. Even with the best preventative gritting programme, unexpected weather events can catch businesses in Wakefield off guard. A sudden temperature drop, an unexpected frost or a rapid deterioration in conditions can leave your site dangerously icy with no warning. That is when reactive gritting becomes essential.
West Yorkshire Gritting Co provides reactive gritting and emergency winter callouts in Wakefield 24 hours a day throughout the winter season. Wakefield has a strong logistics and distribution base with major operations along the M1 and M62 corridors, significant retail parks and a growing commercial property sector. We have vehicles pre-positioned across Yorkshire and Greater Manchester so we can respond quickly when conditions deteriorate without warning. One call to our emergency line and we will have a gritting team on your site as fast as possible.
