ROAD 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. Access roads and private roads on commercial sites are often the last to be treated by local authorities — and the first to cause operational disruption when they ice over. For businesses in Wakefield, a blocked or icy access road means delayed deliveries, staff unable to reach site and potential liability if a vehicle or pedestrian is involved in an incident.

West Yorkshire Gritting Co provides commercial road gritting in Wakefield for access roads, private roads, estate roads and service roads. 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 deploy overnight and in the early hours so your roads are treated before the first vehicles arrive. Our 24-hour gritting service means we can respond at any time when conditions deteriorate unexpectedly.
