Public Sector Premises
Winter Maintenance for Emergency Services, Education and Healthcare Properties
Safety is imperative at public sector premises such as schools, hospitals, doctors, fire & police stations. That’s why we have applied our expert experience to design our Winter Maintenance Services to maintain risk-free environments.
We will ensure continuous access for staff and visitors alike, with 24/7 services specifically adapted to support each location, together with strict procedures to protect the vulnerable.
We understand that winter is the toughest time of year for those responsible for facilities management, with unpredictable weather, freezing temperatures and sometimes snow on the ground.
Our gritting and snow clearing service supports:
- Private Facilities Managers who are responsible for the winter maintenance of public sector premises.
- NHS & Police Estate, Facilities and Operations Managers
- Companies providing facility management services for all kinds of educational establishments – schools, nurseries, colleges and universities.
What are the challenges for gritting public premises in winter?
A maze of walkways, exits and fire escapes to grit
Public sector premises share something in common that makes them hard to safely maintain in winter. There are often multiple entrances, walkways, fire escapes and outdoor seating areas that all need to be gritting or cleared when ice and snow arrive. Anywhere members of the public, staff or contractors go needs to be safe and accessible.
The young, old, infirm and frail need to stay safe – as do the staff looking after them
Service users for public sector sites such as schools, hospitals, colleges and police stations include the very young, the elderly and everyone in between. It doesn’t matter if a police van or ambulance arrives at midday or midnight, staff still need to be able to move people safely no matter what the weather is doing.
