Our Aim

Our aim is to keep your business accessible even in the harshest of winters. We will help you to minimise the risk of avoidable accidents by treating the iced or snow covered roads at your premises. At Saltworks Ltd we use white salt to treat the majority of areas. To treat areas of metal, porous concrete or sensitive landscaped areas, an alternative product is available. Saltworks Ltd only uses specialist salting vehicles , located across the Province. Our vehicles are electronically controlled, which ensures that salt is spread only as necessary. The use of the specialist equipment, rather than manual salting or fertilizer spreaders, guarantees an even spread, regulates the amount of salt to precision and takes into consideration the landscaped areas. Our Salt Spreading Service is available 24hrs/ day, 7 days a week. As salt is most effective when spread before the formation of frost, ice or snow, the weather forecast reports are closely monitored for the timely service to the site. Saltworks Ltd specialised vehicles are fitted with Satellite tracking, which not only act as a form of security for the vehicle and operative, but proves beyond any doubt the time-on and off -site and the exact route taken. Additionally all accessible hard standing areas can also be salted. This may include salting of steps, side pathways and exits to and from the offices and workshops. We service sites of all sizes. The number of site visits is dependent upon the weather. On average, the number of saltings per site in Northern Ireland varies between 30-44 times per winter season.
