Don't Get Caught Out This Winter
Every year it's the same: first proper frost hits and suddenly everyone's panic-buying de-icer. Shops sell out, you're stuck with an icy drive, and you're wondering why you didn't sort this in October.
💡 Pro tip: Order de-icer before the first frost warning. Once it's icy, everyone wants it and supplies run low fast.

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to buy and position it yourself? Here's how:
🔧 What you'll need
- 25kg bags (standard for most properties)
- Somewhere dry to store it
- A decent scoop or spreader
- Old bucket for the scoop
📐 How much to buy
Calculate based on area:
- Small drive/path: 1 x 25kg bag
- Average 3-bed property: 2 x 25kg bags
- Large drive or lots of paving: 3+ bags
⚠️ Storage mistakes to avoid
- Leaving bags outside where they get damp
- Storing near metal (salt corrodes)
- Putting it somewhere hard to access in a rush
- Buying too much and wasting money
💡 Pro trick: Keep a small bucket with a scoop near your front door for quick access. Fill it from the main bag stored in the garage. Means you're not carrying the whole 25kg bag around every frosty morning.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
❄️ Winter package? Combine with gutter clearing, outdoor tap checks, and draught excluder fitting. Get your property properly winter-ready in one visit.
Exeter's older properties often have uneven paving and steps that really need treating. Rock salt works well on Victorian tiles and old stone, but go easy - too much can damage period features over time.
Got pets or kids? Consider eco-friendly de-icer. Costs a bit more but won't harm paws or get tracked into the house causing problems. Worth it if you've got a dog that's in and out all day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of de-icer do you supply?
I usually supply rock salt or eco-friendly de-icer depending on your preference. Rock salt is cost-effective for driveways and paths, while eco-friendly options are better if you have pets or plants nearby. I'll advise on what suits your situation.
How much de-icer will I need?
It depends on the size of your drive and paths. A typical 3-bed house with standard drive and front path needs about 25kg to get through winter. I can assess your property and recommend the right amount so you're not caught short.
Can you store it somewhere I can easily access it?
Yes - I'll put it where you need it. Usually that's in the garage, by the back door, or in a shed. If you want some split between front and back of the house for quick access, that's fine too. We'll work out what makes sense for you.
Is this just dropping a bag on my doorstep?
No - I deliver it, put it where you want it, and make sure you know how to use it effectively. I'll also check you've got a decent scoop or spreader. It's a proper service, not just a delivery.
Can I get this as part of winter property preparation?
Absolutely. A lot of people combine this with gutter clearing, checking outdoor taps are off, and other winter prep. Doing it all together makes sense and saves you the call-out fee multiple times.
