Snow removal in Tallinn
After a heavy snowfall you need the gate, the driveway and the paths open quickly. We clear snow by hand or by machine, and haul it away when there is no room left to pile it.

By hand or by machine
Steps, narrow paths, entrances and areas between parked cars are cleared by hand with shovels and pushers. It is slower, but nothing gets damaged and the result is precise.
Larger open areas such as driveways, courtyards and parking areas are quicker to clear by machine. Machine work is charged by the hour with a minimum of 2 hours, travel included, so it pays off mainly on bigger areas or after heavy snowfall.
Often the best result comes from combining both: the machine does the open areas and a worker finishes the steps and corners.
When the snow has nowhere to go
In a snowy winter the piles in courtyards and car parks grow until they take up parking spaces and block the view at exits. Then the snow has to be loaded and hauled away.
We load snow and take it off site. The price depends on the amount and how easy it is for the vehicle to reach the piles, so we usually agree it after seeing the area or photos.
Seasonal contracts
For housing associations, landlords and companies a seasonal contract is the calmest option. We agree the area to be cleared, what counts as a snowfall worth coming out for and how quickly after it we arrive.
In Tallinn the property owner is generally responsible for keeping the pavement in front of the property passable too, so a contract helps make sure this is not forgotten on a busy morning. Contact us in autumn, before the first snow, so we can plan your site into the route.
Ice and slipperiness
After a thaw followed by frost, paths turn into ice. On request we break up ice crusts on steps and entrances and spread grit or sand. Tell us when you book if you need this, and whether you have your own grit on site.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you come after a snowfall?+
Sites on a seasonal contract are already planned into our route. For one-off orders call us early in the day and we will tell you when we can come.
Why is there a minimum for machine work?+
Getting the machine to the site takes time on its own. The 2 hour minimum includes travel, so short jobs are usually cheaper done by hand.
Do you clear snow at night or early in the morning?+
For contract customers we plan clearing so paths are open when people leave for work. For one-off jobs we agree the time.
Can you also clear snow from the roof?+
Yes, that is a separate service. See roof snow removal.
Will you damage paving or lawns?+
We clear carefully near kerbs, beds and low walls. It helps to mark path edges with poles before winter and to tell us about anything hidden under the snow.
