Snow Removal for Condos & Multi-Unit Properties in London

Snow & Winter · Published September 19, 2026

Snow removal for a condominium or multi-unit property is a different job than a single driveway. You're keeping residents safe, protecting the corporation from liability, and answering to a board. Here's what to look for.

Resident Access Comes First

Residents need to get out for work, appointments and emergencies at all hours. That means driveways, private roads, visitor parking and walkways cleared reliably and early — not whenever the contractor gets to it. A dependable route day and priority scheduling are essential.

Liability Is the Board's Responsibility

A slip-and-fall on common property is the corporation's exposure. That makes salting, ice management and documented service non-negotiable. The contractor should carry liability insurance and WSIB coverage and provide certificates to the board — we explain why in our post on insurance and WSIB.

Walkways and Entrances Matter as Much as Roads

In multi-unit properties, most falls happen on walkways, entrances and around mailboxes and garbage areas — not the main drive. A complete scope covers all the pedestrian routes residents actually use, with salting on each.

Documentation for the Board

Boards need records: what was done, when, and proof it happened. Time-stamped, photo-confirmed service records give the board and the property manager the paper trail they need if a resident complains or a claim is filed.

One Contract, One Contact

Managing multiple vendors is a headache. A single contractor handling clearing, salting and documentation under one seasonal contract — with one person who answers the phone during a storm — makes the board's job far easier.
