Snow and ice - professional winter service in North Rhine-Westphalia

Mechanical snow clearing with modern winter service technology

In heavy snowfall and slippery ice, the use of powerful machines is essential. They not only ensure large-scale and efficient snow removal, but also make work easier for our employees. Our company only uses state-of-the-art equipment that is regularly serviced.


This enables us to clear snow comparatively quietly and in an environmentally friendly manner. For you as an individual, this means a great deal of relief in terms of compulsory clearance and winter service. With our modern machines we remove snow and ice from your private and commercial areas without damaging the surface or the local signs and borders.


Manual snow clearing by expert employees

The best machine is worthless without a trained driver. The heart of our company is therefore our satisfied and motivated employees. Our team is made up of specialists with relevant professional experience who perform their duties with a great deal of commitment and reliability. They are just as used to handling shovels and brooms as they are to operating modern winter service technology.

Each member of our workforce has a mix of practical experience and theoretical knowledge of dealing with snow and ice. This ensures conscientious compliance with the winter service regulations and obligations in your community. We are proud of our reliable team, which reliably carries out snow removal on sidewalks or roadways every day in the winter season.

24 hour care

Snowflakes and ice crystals do not stick to specific times or days of the week. As a service provider with many years of experience in snow clearing, we are aware of the importance of permanent operational readiness. With our 24-hour support, we are available to you around the clock as a flexible partner for ice and snow removal.


This service also includes winter service on weekends and winter service on public holidays. Our modern machines and reliable employees are ready 24 hours a day, seven days a week to carry out the safety measures to prevent accidents caused by snowfall and black ice.

Many years of experience in winter service and street cleaning

With our modern equipment and expert employees, we take care of street cleaning and winter services for the following cities and communities: From district of Recklinghausen to the north across the Oberberg district in the east up to District of Euskirchen in the south. In the western part of the federal state we are in the districts of Viersen and Heinsberg active.

Of course you can also use our gritting and snow clearing service in the urban areas of Cologne, Bonn, Dusseldorf, Duisburg, Essen and Bochum take advantage of. Our map gives you a detailed overview of our operational areas.

Reliable snow removal including street cleaning

Basically, as a property owner, you are responsible for clearing and gritting your property and the adjacent sidewalks from snow and ice. This obligation to clear and spread service begins at 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. respectively. At this point, the paths must already be accessible. Starting shoveling snow at 7 a.m. is not enough. With us as a professional snow clearing service, you can sleep longer in the cold season while we take care of your gritting and clearing service.

Clearing snow from sidewalks and roadways

As a professional winter service, we use a combination of powerful equipment and satisfied and motivated employees to clear snow and remove ice from your private and commercial areas. The additional use of external weather forecasts allows us to include the expected snowfall in our planning. In this way, we are able to quickly and flexibly meet the clearance obligation in extreme weather conditions.

Spreading service for snow and ice on all types of surfaces

Ice is a major hazard for pedestrians and drivers in winter. We take care of the grit spreading, salt spreading and snow removal on sidewalks, streets, driveways and parking lots to prevent pedestrians from slipping and vehicles from skidding. Our knowledge of regional regulations regarding winter service allows us to act in accordance with local statutes. After the season, we sweep up and dispose of the spreading material using modern winter service technology and classic manpower.

Your advantages with CASSPI

Avoid costs!

Personal injury caused by snow and ice on your property can be expensive for you if you have violated your clearing or gritting obligations. Compensation for pain and suffering, treatment costs and loss of earnings are just three of the cost factors that victims can claim against you in the event of an accident due to insufficient snow clearing. If you forget to clear the roof of snow, the roof can only be cleared safely by the fire brigade if the snow continues to fall. A mission that causes horrendous costs.

Relieve your tenants!

In the event of snow and ice, as a property owner, you can transfer the winter service to the tenants. Experience has shown that what works perfectly at the beginning of winter becomes a point of discussion as the season progresses. The balancing act between gritting service, work, family and leisure time is becoming an increasing burden for tenants. Your motivation to carry out the clearing service conscientiously decreases drastically. Engage us as a partner for the snow clearing service to give your tenants a relaxing winter months.

Enjoy a break!

If, as the owner, you take on the winter service yourself, including snow clearing and ice removal, a holiday trip to warmer regions during the cold season is taboo for you. Illness or personal circumstances do not release you from the obligation to clear or grit. Transfer your gritting service to us so that you can travel or recover carefree and without a guilty conscience.

Minimize the control effort!

With the handover of the winter service to the tenant or a commercial service provider such as CASSPI, liability in the event of damage only passes to the person(s) commissioned if you comply with the inspection obligation as the owner. This means: You must regularly check whether clearing and spreading work has been carried out properly. This is cumbersome, especially in residential complexes with several parties. Our energetic team of satisfied and motivated employees, on the other hand, works with particular care in order to keep the necessary control effort for you as low as possible.

Save yourself bureaucratic trouble!

If a person is injured on the snow and ice on your property, this involves a considerable organizational effort for you. After the injured party has contacted you, you must deal with your insurance company. In the cold season, this department receives hundreds of damage reports due to a poorly performed gritting service or clearing service and is accordingly overloaded. A tough, time-consuming and nerve-wracking exchange of letters between the parties involved follows. With us at your side, this effort is eliminated for you by simply forwarding the damage report to us. We take care of everything else.

Protect pedestrians, motorists and cyclists on your property!

As the owner of a commercial property, a residential complex or a house, the well-being of your employees and tenants is important to you. A thorough clearing and gritting service is essential to ensure that they find a safe surface even in persistent snowfall and black ice. Our satisfied and motivated employees ensure safety on your property during the winter season and effectively prevent accidents.

Trust an experienced partner!


A commercial snow removal service should do the work for you, not do it for you. This principle runs like a red thread through all areas of our service company. We define ourselves through a conscientious way of working, open communication with you as a customer and the use of professional machines and trained employees. Trust our expertise in snow and ice when it comes to clearing and gritting services and finally say goodbye to endless queues on the phone, unreliable staff and exorbitant prices.

Many years of experience in winter service and street cleaning

At CASSPI, well-founded competence merges with tried-and-tested practical experience and a sense of danger. Customer satisfaction forms the basis of our corporate philosophy and determines our daily actions. The aim is to relieve you of the obligation to clear as part of the winter service and to enable passers-by and motorists to have a safe stop on your areas.


Our internal processes are geared towards flexibility and speed in order to be able to assist you in any situation without delay. To do this, we use our many years of experience in the snow clearing service as well as external weather forecasts to estimate the expected snowfall. If you use our services, we will create an individual offer for you that is tailored to your needs, requirements and budget.

Fair prices

What can you charge for winter service? We dealt intensively with this question at the beginning of our company history. The core of the considerations was to always provide you, the customer, with the most advantageous price. For this reason, we made a conscious decision not to set a general total price for our snow clearing service.

With this approach, we are clearly against standard packages with flat-rate winter service prices. Instead, after an on-site inspection, we put together a tailor-made package for you. This way you only pay for the services that you actually use. Lean processes and our efficient way of working enable us to offer you this fair pricing for the winter service.

By transferring your clearing obligation to CASSPI, you benefit from a high-quality service for everything to do with snow removal and gritting, without having to accept excessive costs.

ISO 9001 certified quality management


Our work processes, our company organization and the way we treat our employees and customers are of excellent quality. We are a member of the GFMA (German Facility Management Association; German Association for Facility Management eV) and are certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001.

The latter includes seven aspects that serve to ensure customer satisfaction. These are: customer focus, leadership, commitment of people, processes and organization, improvement, decision making and relationship management. ISO 9001 provides recommendations for action for each of these sub-areas, compliance with which is confirmed by the corresponding certificate. What does that mean for you? Quite simply - at CASSPI, you, the customer, are the focus of our daily activities.

24-hour winter service hotline

☎ 02166 98978-88

Permanent accessibility plays a central role when using a professional winter service for the clearing obligation. In winter, snow and ice often come as a surprise, which requires a quick reaction and immediate implementation of security measures.

With CASSPI, you get a flexible partner for removing masses of snow and spreading salt and grit on ice, who can be reached at any time and any day of the week from October to April. Our 24-hour snow clearing service hotline always has a competent contact person available for you who will advise you individually and professionally on your concerns.

We carry out our activities related to the topics of clearing duty, winter service, gritting duty and street cleaning every day and at any time. This includes weekends and holidays when we can help you relax with peace of mind while we keep sidewalks and roadways safe.

Thorough implementation of security measures

The weather is not always the same in all parts of the state. Even in smaller areas, the same weather conditions can have different effects. With our winter service in North Rhine-Westphalia, we therefore rely on a flexible and conscientious way of working. In addition, there is an unbureaucratic and fast response in an emergency.

If there is snow and ice overnight or at the weekend, a contractual transfer of winter service to the tenants is of little use to you. The thought of spending free time in bed is too tempting for private individuals, especially on cold days. Contact us if you want to know that the clearing and spreading service is in safe hands. With our modern winter service technology and our dedicated employees, we free your areas from the consequences of snowfall and ice formation.

Assumption of liability in snow and ice

According to the winter service law, the gritting and clearing duties in winter are the responsibility of the owners of houses, apartments, residential complexes, parking lots and commercial real estate. They are therefore responsible for the so-called traffic safety obligation and must enable passers-by, motorists and cyclists to cross their property and adjacent sidewalks safely.

If you violate the duty to clear, you may be sued for damages or damages in the event of an accident caused by a fall or collision. To avoid this, you can transfer the snow clearing service to a third party. If you hand over the winter service to the tenants, this often causes resentment and defiance among the residents of your property.

You are better off with a professional service provider like CASSPI. We take the clearance obligation seriously and implement it conscientiously. If you commission us, the traffic safety obligations with all their consequences are transferred from you to us. From this point on, you are only responsible for the occasional inspection of the clearing or spreading service provided.


Flexible offer design

With us you will find all the services that contribute to the security, beautification and care of your property and property. With regard to the winter service, this includes the removal of the grit after the end of the season as well as street cleaning in addition to the obligation to clear snow, the obligation to spread snow and remove snow.

You can commission the entire spectrum or test our reliability and expertise first by booking individual services. We will be happy to advise you on your request and present you with the various options in detail. You will receive a detailed breakdown of costs so that you always have an overview. At CASSPI, we only charge you for the work that makes sense and is necessary on your sidewalks or roadways.


Needs-based operational planning

Our extensive expertise as a commercial snow clearing service not only helps us with the execution of the necessary activities, but also with the strategic organization. With a mixture of practical empirical values, weather forecasts, detailed capacity planning and internal key figures, we ensure that your property is equipped with the required machines and the sufficient number of employees over the course of the period you have booked. You will look in vain for personnel bottlenecks and technical failures with us.

Uncomplicated process in the event of damage

If there is personal injury or damage to property on your property, the injured party will normally contact you first. If you have commissioned us with the clearing and gritting service in advance, the handling of the case is uncomplicated for you. You only have the task of informing us about the damage.

From this point you don't have to worry about anything else. We will forward the damage report to our business liability insurance. This checks whether the claim is justified in view of the facts and settles the damage or rejects the claim.


Fast response to defect reports

A short response time is essential when reporting a defect. We are aware of the great responsibility that we assume with the winter service around and on your property. Speed and reliability are our top priority. For this reason, we will get back to you within 30 minutes in the event of a defect report.

General questions

Everything you need to know about clearing service, gritting service and street cleaning

  • How far in advance should I prepare for the cold season?

    Ideally, you should prepare yourself and your property for the winter months as far in advance as possible. In North Rhine-Westphalia, these are from November to April. Think in good time whether and to whom you want to hand over the clearing and spreading service. If you are interested in our services as a commercial winter service, timely commissioning will help us to plan for the coming season.

  • By when does the winter service have to be done?

    As a rule, the municipalities themselves take on the clearing service on public roads. Wherever you, as the owner or tenant of a property, are responsible for road safety obligations, we come into action with our professional equipment. By what time the respective area must be accessible is regulated by each municipality in Germany in the winter service law.

  • Who is liable if the snow is not cleared?

    The municipality is responsible for the traffic safety obligation for the public sidewalks, including street cleaning. As the owner of a private or commercial property, you are responsible for clearing and gritting your property. This includes homes, condominiums, parking lots, office and commercial buildings, and all other off-premises land. You therefore bear the traffic safety obligations for the sidewalks on your property. Vacation, illness, physical distance or personal circumstances do not release you from this obligation.

  • Is it worth hiring a professional winter service?

    In short: yes! As the owner of the property, you are usually not on site yourself, so you cannot carry out the eviction obligation. If you transfer the winter service to the tenants, it is often only carried out half-heartedly. The same applies to the removal of grit. By using a service provider you save yourself stress, discussions and lawsuits in relation to the winter service. From this point on, you can go on vacation or be otherwise absent without worry, even in the cold winter with heavy snowfall and sudden ice formation.

  • A caretaker has already been commissioned to take care of my property. Can I hand over the winter service to him?

    Yes, according to the winter service law you can do that. However, you should consider whether your caretaker has free capacity and the appropriate equipment for the clearing service, the gritting service and the final street cleaning. The obligation exists on the property as well as the adjacent sidewalks and - depending on the municipality - the adjacent lanes. Depending on the object, this can cover a very large area and require costly removal of the grit after the winter service. In combination with the usual work of a caretaker, this quickly leads to an individual being overwhelmed.

  • What can you charge for winter service?

    We cannot give a general answer to this question, as the pricing – at least with our tailor-made offers – depends on several factors. Among other things, the type and size of the area, the local conditions, the time required and the required amount of spreading material play a role in the calculation.

  • How often does snow have to be cleared in winter?

    In addition to the time, the statutes of the municipalities also specify the extent to which the snow is to be cleared. In most communities, the specified width on sidewalks is 1 to 1/5 meter to allow two passers-by to pass each other without problems. With regard to the way to the front door, this specification can also be limited to 1 meter width. These regulations relating to the obligation to clear apply for the entire period, i.e. Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Sundays and public holidays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

  • What should be considered during winter service?

    If the snow continues to fall, you will have to evacuate several times. The bad news: when it snows in North Rhine-Westphalia, it usually doesn't stop that quickly. According to the law, the additional snow must be removed immediately after the end of the snowfall. If it snows continuously, the evacuation must be carried out at appropriate intervals. Black ice and slippery, muddy snow are subject to immediate clearance. For you, this would mean that you have to clear several times a day to ensure accessibility.

  • What about the grit?

    According to the decision of the Federal Court of Justice (BGH, Az. VI ZR 49/83), residents are obliged to clear snow several times a day. Especially with persistent, heavy snowfall. In addition, street cleaning and the proper removal of grit after the winter service is obligatory. The court has not yet made a judgment on who has to get the necessary utensils and the appropriate grit.

  • Where does the snow go?

    This point is also regulated by the respective statutes of your municipality. The general rule is that snow and ice from properties must not be pushed onto the street. Snow from sidewalks is to be deposited at the side of the path. If the width of the sidewalk does not allow this, the snow may be stored between the sidewalk and the street, subject to certain specifications.

  • I failed to place an order in good time. Does CASSPI also offer an emergency service?

    Yes. Our hotline (02166 9897-888) for clearing and street cleaning in the event of snow, ice and mud is staffed around the clock from October to April. Please call us to use our emergency service. We move out immediately - provided there is free capacity - and free your private or public property from snow and ice. If you have already hired us as a snow clearing service in advance, you can rest easy: In this case, our emergency service team will react proactively, autonomously and without delay to extreme and unforeseen weather changes as well as unexpectedly heavy snowfall and ice.

  • Can I deduct the cost of a professional snow clearing service from my taxes?

    Yes. As the owner of an apartment building or a residential complex, you can claim the monetary expense for our services on the subject of gritting and clearance in your tax return. According to the judgment of the Federal Fiscal Court (Az. VI R 56/12), you may list the commissioning of a winter service as costs for household-related services, even though these take place in front of the door. The tax office deducts 20% of the costs from your payable income tax. On request, you must hand over the corresponding invoices and payment receipts to your tax office.

  • Where can you find the regulations?

    There are several bases for snow removal and spreading in the legal materials, some also result from case law.

  • Do I have to clear or grit snow at my holiday home in winter?

    Yes, there are no exceptions here, even if there is no sidewalk, an "imaginary sidewalk" on the street must be cleared.

  • When do you have to clear and spread?

    The obligation to clear is completely independent of the season, i.e. always when there is snow and ice. That could be as early as October, for example!

  • Which areas are to be cleared and spread?

    All footpaths and driveways including stairs, ramps, etc. on the property and (!) the public footpath adjacent to the property.

  • How is it cleared?

    The first step is the rapid mechanical removal of snow during and immediately after precipitation. Attention: No gullies and trenches may be laid!

  • Does it have to be cleared down to the asphalt?

    There is no obligation to clear the ground (= clearing down to the asphalt), there is only an obligation to ensure slip resistance.

  • Why does the public sidewalk also have to be cleared?

    Road traffic regulations regulate for the whole of Germany that a homeowner (or a property association) is obliged not only to clear and grit the paths on their own property, but also to take care of the adjacent public areas (e.g. sidewalks) outside the property has!

  • What to do with snowdrifts, icicles and roof avalanches?

    Watch out for snowdrifts and ice formations on roofs. Until they are removed (immediate action!), the endangered traffic areas are to be secured with warning poles. The most dangerous time here is when the snow melts, when icicles or roof avalanches form.

  • What happens in court?

    You only have a good chance of not being prosecuted in the event of damage if you have cleared and spread thoroughly or have commissioned a suitable company to do so and can also prove this through records or witnesses. On the other hand, of course, pedestrians also have to adapt to the winter conditions, for example by wearing sturdy shoes.

Our recommendation to you
Please keep in mind that in the event of a claim, the insurance company would pay any rightful claim for damages, but not a penalty (due to negligent bodily harm). The insurance company could also “get out” (= take recourse), for example if an absolutely inadequate winter service is determined.
In those cases in which the community of owners nevertheless prefers internal regulation, a precisely defined clearing plan (with areas and people) must be drawn up, in which the individual days and completed work steps are entered. In the event of damage, the judge will ask you about it.
The community of owners is primarily liable to the injured party, which will then be held harmless by the responsible owner.
Victims often only report weeks after an incident, which is why it is absolutely necessary to log the work and the weather situation. We know from experience that the most dangerous time for damage (falls, etc.) is not during the snowfall, but in the following days, when it is cold and icy and the meltwater freezes over.
We ask you to follow our recommendations!
