Worthing is a large seaside town in West Sussex, on the South coast of England. It is ten miles west of Brighton and Hove, 18 miles east of Chichester, 49 miles south of London. As it has a temperate climate, temperatures rarely drop below 4 degrees centigrade. However, 2010/2011 winter saw temperatures drop below freezing and surfaces became slippery overnight which put people at risk of accidents on walkways, access areas, car parks and private roads.
Worthing's Icewatch gritting service works to prevent ice from forming as we can accurately predict when gritting is needed. This avoids damaging legal costs which can affect your business' reputation and productivity. For complete peace of mind, all our customers are covered by our £10 million public liability insurance.
In Worthing we offer a proactive weather monitoring and car park gritting service. Worthing weather reports are monitored in advance and after analysing these highly localised reports, we let you know if gritting is needed and come out as required. During the analysis process, we also take into account the hours of your business. If the temperature is expected to rise before the car parks and walkways are used, then gritting may not be needed.
We offer primarily a preventative approach where we grit to stop ice forming, rather than clearing the ice once it is formed. This helps to keep employees and the public safe from accidents, ensures businesses in Worthing stay open and helps companies avoid expensive legal claims. In the event of unexpected heavy snow fall we use a mechanical snow plough or pedestrian snow blades, depending on the size of the area and lay grit afterwards to prevent ice from forming.
Icewatch keep full records of risk assessment, monitoring, site visits and gritting and snow removal services for your Worthing based business. With snow and ice an ever present possibility during winter months, we manage this important health and safety function for you to keep your business running smoothly.
About Worthing
Worthing has a population of around 102,000 and between the 1990's and 2010 in particular has attracted people from Brighton, Hove and London. It was a small mackerel fishing hamlet for centuries until the late 18 century when it became a popular seaside resort for wealthy holiday makers. In the 19th and 20th centuries, it was known as one of the chief market gardening centres in Britain. Today Worthing is dominated by the service industry, in particular the financial services industry. Main employers were Southern Water, MGM Advantage, GlaxoSmithKline, HM Revenue and Customs and Aviva (formally Norwich Union).
Worthing has pedestrianized streets, covered shopping centres and over 400 retail stores in the town centre. Big plans are afoot to regenerate the town. The Splash Point area of the sea front has been undergoing more than £700,000 makeover and a £150 million development scheme is proposed for Teville Gate between Worthing Railway Station and the A24 at the Northern Approach. Proposals put forward include two residential towers, health and fitness club, hotel and conference exhibition centre and a multiplex cinema.
