Getting Ready for Winter

Long Rake Spar are once again emphasising the need to order early to avoid the restrictive supply problems that have been encountered in recent years when ordering Rock Salt.

We have seen the widespread disruption caused by extremely harsh winters which are becoming evermore prevalent throughout the UK. Severe weather conditions have caused widespread operational difficulties for transport networks, public services and local economies to the extent that the ensuing chaos following heavy snowfall during last November lasted well into the new-year.

This resulted in severe supply restrictions and huge price inflations in the industry!!! Waiting lists for salt were extensive, with prices varying on a daily basis. Restricted UK supply and excessive demand resulted in many customers being unable to purchase salt and thereby missing out on what is now considered excellent potential winter sales.

How better can we prepare ourselves this year to avoid this widespread disruption?

The main problem faced by anybody needing salt is that when it is most urgently required, prices will invariably be at a premium and availability may well be restricted. The only answer to avoid these difficulties is to order early!

At Long Rake Spar we have been packing salt since the early summer to ensure we have sufficient stocks of bagged salt available to meet the inevitable winter demand. We strongly advise customers to place orders as soon as possible to be assured of availability and the most competitive prices.

We supply PURE ROCK SALT that has not been diluted by mixing with sand or grit. Retailers can rest assured that by selling our salt they are supplying 100% Rock Salt avoiding any chance of come back on the performance of this product.

Our salt is supplied in strong durable white bags, with a colourful design, that is unique in its manufacture by having an inner black layer. This not only serves to prolong the shelf life of the product but also further emphasizes its quality.
