Choosing the Right Winter Salt
Brown Rock Salt (BS3247)
Our most popular option for general de-icing. Contains anti-caking agents and trace minerals that make it effective down to -6°C. Ideal for driveways, car parks, roads, and pathways. The brown colour shows where you've spread it. Coverage: 1 x 25kg bag treats approximately 250-300 square meters.
White De-Icing Salt
Premium white salt for cleaner applications where appearance matters. Perfect for shop entrances, patios, decorative driveways, and areas where brown salt tracking is undesirable. Same de-icing effectiveness as brown salt but leaves less residue. Available in 20kg bags.
PDV Salt (Pure Dried Vacuum)
Specialist high-purity salt specifically designed for artificial and synthetic sports pitches. Free from anti-caking agents that can damage synthetic surfaces. Essential for maintaining 3G and 4G football pitches, hockey pitches, and artificial tennis courts during winter. Available in 25kg bags.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much rock salt do I need?
As a guide, one 25kg bag of rock salt covers approximately 250-300 square meters (about 10-12 standard parking spaces). For driveways, a typical 2-car driveway needs about 100-200g per application.
What's the difference between brown and white salt?
Both are equally effective at melting ice. Brown rock salt contains natural minerals and anti-caking agents, while white de-icing salt is more refined. White salt is preferred where appearance matters or tracking indoors is a concern. Brown salt is more economical for large areas.
Can I use rock salt on my artificial sports pitch?
No - standard rock salt contains anti-caking agents that can damage synthetic surfaces. Always use PDV (Pure Dried Vacuum) salt on artificial pitches, as it's specifically designed to be safe for synthetic materials while still providing effective de-icing.
When should I apply rock salt?
Apply rock salt before ice forms (preventative) or after clearing snow. Salt works best when applied to dry surfaces before freezing temperatures arrive. For best results, spread evenly and avoid over-application - more isn't always better.
Do you deliver grit bins?
Yes, we deliver grit bins in 100L, 170L, and 200L sizes across our delivery area. We also offer complete winter kits with bins pre-filled with salt and including hand scoops. Ideal for car parks, business premises, and residential developments.
Can I collect rock salt from your Thatcham depot?
Absolutely. Visit us at Terence House, 24 London Road, Thatcham RG19 4QA. We're open Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM. We can load bags directly into your vehicle or arrange forklift loading for larger orders.
