🌿⚽️ BIG GIVEAWAY TIME ⚽️🌿
As a thank you to everyone who has supported our businesses over the years, we’ve decided to give a little something back 🙌

🏆 PRIZES:
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Brand New Scotland Away Top
🔶 Signed Dundee United Top
🔵 Signed Dundee FC Top

With Scotland heading to their first World Cup since 1998, excitement is building already 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
And after another dramatic season in Dundee, we thought this was the perfect time for a giveaway!
Dundee United’s season has certainly had its ups and downs after the highs of last year’s European qualification and 4th place finish. A huge squad rebuild always made consistency difficult, but there were still some brilliant moments along the way - especially the strong finish at Tannadice, including 4 straight home wins, a derby victory and beating Celtic twice. Reid Contracts were also proud match ball sponsors for the huge European night against Rapid Vienna ⚽️
Dundee also had a difficult season at times but showed plenty character throughout, producing some strong performances against the Old Firm and securing two derby wins at Tannadice along the way. Their 3-0 win over Livingston at the weekend secured their Premiership safety for another season - a huge result for the club and supporters 🔵

Reid Contracts Limited – 3 Years Strong 💪

We actually missed our 3-year anniversary recently… but it feels like the right time to reflect on what’s been built.

Reid Contracts was launched to create a clear divide from our partner company, Darren Reid Gardening Services, and to open the door into the facilities management and commercial maintenance sector.

Safe to say… it’s been an unbelievable success.

While grounds maintenance remains our core focus (and where we’ve invested heavily in both machinery and people), we’ve never been a company to turn away from a challenge.
Over the last 3 years, we’ve successfully delivered:
- Grounds maintenance at scale
- Winter maintenance – salting & snow clearing
- Joinery, electrical & plumbing works
- Roofing & building repairs
- Waste management solutions
- EV charger protection installations
- Temporary pothole repairs
- Thermoplastic line marking
- Carpet fitting, painting & cleaning
- Managed renovation projects across multiple sites

Although we’ve managed and delivered on renovation projects, our focus remains firmly on maintenance and repair works, where we provide the most value to our clients on an ongoing basis.

More recently, we’ve been bringing more of these services in-house, investing in training and equipment to give our clients an even better, more efficient service.

We’re proud to be:
✔ ISO 9001 Accredited
✔ SafeContractor Approved
✔ A National Living Wage Employer
✔ Based locally in Dundee, delivering across Scotland

But what we’re most proud of?
Our client retention rate – over 95%.
Clients don’t just try us… they stay with us.
That speaks volumes.

As we move into the busy season, our grounds maintenance rounds are already underway, and it’s shaping up to be our biggest year yet.

To our existing clients – thank you for your continued trust.
To new clients and contacts – if you’re looking for a reliable, professional contractor who delivers across multiple trades…

We’re ready when you are.
Here’s to the next 3 years 👊

Multi-Trade Services 👷‍♂️🎨
We recently completed a full refresh at the InPost depot in Aberdeen — covering around 300m² of walls, finished in a fresh light grey, with skirtings and facings in a contrasting darker grey. The result has completely lifted these offices and corridors, giving the space a much cleaner, brighter feel.
A big thank you to our team for delivering a fantastic finish on this project.
We’ll also be back on site next week to install heavy-duty shelving in one of the offices, while our grounds maintenance team has already completed a full external dilapidation and will be taking on the ongoing maintenance throughout the year.
Thank you to InPost for trusting us to deliver these works within a tight timescale.
Our multi-trade services continue to grow, allowing us to support commercial sites with everything from decorating and installations to grounds maintenance and facilities support. If you’re looking for a reliable partner to help manage or improve your site, we’d love to hear from you.
📩 Get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Keeping commercial sites looking sharp isn’t just about cutting grass - it’s about reliability, safety, presentation, and consistency.
At Reid Contracts Limited, we help businesses across Dundee & Angus stay on top of their outdoor maintenance, ensuring sites remain clean, compliant, and professional all year round.
We currently carry out grounds maintenance on a wide range of commercial environments, including major retail sites and large premises - and as a trusted field team locally, we understand what matters most to commercial clients:
✅ Consistent visits & dependable scheduling
✅ High standards of workmanship & presentation
✅ Health & safety compliant teams
✅ Responsive communication & quick turnaround
✅ One trusted contractor for multiple services
Alongside grounds maintenance, we also support clients with facilities management works, including:
joinery, line marking, pothole repairs, and much more.
We’re now looking to take on additional commercial contracts for 2026, and we currently have the capacity to bring on new sites.
If you’re reviewing your current contractor - or simply looking for a more reliable service - we’d love to have a chat.

Cold, challenging conditions continue across the country ❄️

Our teams have been working extremely hard over the past period. Despite very little snowfall, the combination of freezing temperatures and black ice has made conditions particularly difficult, with many sites left slippy and hazardous.

Over the last few days alone, we’ve had to attend some sites two or even three times in a single day, as surfaces thaw and then rapidly ice over again. This constant change in conditions means close monitoring and fast response is essential.

With freezing conditions set to continue for the foreseeable, our winter operations remain fully geared up and ready to respond.

If you’re responsible for a site and unsure about coverage, now is the time to act.

❄️ ON CALL THROUGH THE FREEZE ❄️
The last 10+ days have seen our teams out consistently due to the ongoing freeze.
While we’ve avoided heavy snowfall compared to further north, the mix of sleet, rain and sub-zero temperatures is creating dangerous ice and frost across sites.
We are fully prepared if conditions worsen.
Our fleet and machinery are kitted out, stocked and ready to deal with whatever winter throws at us.
⚠️ Slips, trips and claims don’t wait for snow.
Why wait until someone gets hurt — or you’re faced with a liability claim — when a preventative service can be in place now?
From small car parks to large car showroom car parks, we cover it all with our 24/7 winter service.
✔ Fixed price per visit
✔ Gritting & salting services
✔ Salt supply available
✔ Reliable, reactive cover
✔ No site too big or too small
We have limited availability remaining due to high demand, so if you don’t already have a winter service in place, now is the time to act.

🎄 Signing off (briefly) for Christmas… 🎄

As we approach the festive period, we’ll be closing on Tuesday 23rd at lunchtime, finishing up with a well-earned afternoon together as a team - some food and drinks, a few games of pool, and a chance to reflect on what’s been one of our most successful years to date.

We were proud to supply and deliver this Christmas tree for Dundee United FC, taking pride of place at their main entrance.

A huge thank you to all of our customers, clients, suppliers, subcontractors and partners who have supported us throughout the year. Your trust, repeat business and recommendations genuinely mean a lot and have played a big part in our continued growth.

Although we’re taking a short break, we won’t be fully switched off - our winter salting operations will continue to be monitored, and bin servicing duties will carry on as required.

We don’t really stop - and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎅
Here’s to an even bigger 2026.

❄️ WINTER MAINTENANCE – EARLY SEASON SNAPSHOT ❄️
A quick look at how the first couple of weeks of our winter maintenance service have gone 👇
• 35 salting visits completed
• 10 commercial sites kept safe and ice-free
• 4 night call-outs
• Lowest ground temperature so far: –4°C
• 2.25 tonnes of salt spread
• Snowfall: None… yet
• One small but mighty team covering all sites
Temperatures are set to drop again on Tuesday, and then further over the weekend, so we’re ready to respond as needed.
If your business still needs reliable salting cover or snow-clearing this winter, be quick as we have limited capacity available.
