Winter Maintenance - The DTMS Group

The DTMS Group are experts at keeping people safe in the cold and ice. If you’re a local authority, business owner or have premises that are used by team and members of the public, we can help you fulfil your legal obligation to ensure your building is safe for use by all those who visit it.

Always ready to respond to a footpath gritting emergency, we have a range of equipment to tackle any job, such as our mounted gritters for large areas like car parks. Our smaller pedestrian gritters can create a safe and secure pathway in even the coldest conditions.

For schools and car parks we offer a variety of management plans for winter maintenance. We can monitor weather forecasts on your behalf, ensuring that your site is gritted and/or ploughed before the start of your day. Or you can simply give us a call when you require our services. We can also ensure that your onsite salt bins are kept full for the duration of the bad weather.

Snow Clearance

In times of heavy snowfall we can call on our fleet of equipment ranging from compact tractors with versatile capabilities to tackle confined areas up to large agricultural tractors with three metre ploughs that can clear large areas quickly and effectively.

Salt Spreading

Our range of gritters covers most applications from hand propelled spreaders for paths and walkways to vehicle mounted spreaders that can cover the largest areas quickly.

Sometimes it necessary to facilitate new construction works or to enhance an area ecologically. DTMS Group can supply the machinery and experience to carry out our client’s requirements.

Light Civils

Fencing

Whether it is to demarcate a boundary or to keep people out, fences are an important part of any development. This can be another element of an overall project, as either the site set up or reinstatement works.

Weed Control

In the UK climate, weed growth is prolific, and in certain scenarios it needs to be controlled. DTMS group have various types of pesticide application equipment that can be used by our qualified and experienced operators. It is a sector that is under a huge amount of scrutiny, which makes it vitally important that the application of any pesticides is done as the product label instructs by competent people.
