Who we are
Nikki Parish
Founder & Operations Director, NRF Solutions
Hi, I'm Nikki. I run NRF Solutions day to day — managing our cleaning teams, looking after our clients, and making sure every school and surgery we work in is cleaned to a standard we're genuinely proud of.
NRF is backed by over 20 years of professional cleaning expertise, including one of fewer than 60 Chartered Environmental Cleaners in the UK. That means the methods we use, the products we choose, and the standards we work to are all grounded in real, accredited knowledge — not guesswork.
We're based in Southend and work across Essex. We're a small team, and we like it that way. Every client gets proper attention.
We specialise in environments where hygiene really matters.
Our main focus
Primary Schools
Chemical-free cleaning that's safe for children. NHS-standard hygiene that reduces illness and keeps attendance up. We understand schools.
Healthcare
GP Surgeries & Clinics
Clinical environments need clinical standards. We're trained to NHS framework methodology and understand what infection control actually means.
Commercial
Offices & Small Businesses
Reliable, professional, local. A clean workplace reduces sickness absence and shows your team you take their environment seriously.

Get in Touch
We work across Essex. If you're not sure whether we cover your type of setting, just call or email Nikki — she'll give you a straight answer.
How we clean
Chemical-free cleaning that actually works.
We made a deliberate choice to move away from traditional chemical cleaning products. Not just because it's better for the environment — but because it's better for the people in your building, especially children.
Stabilised Aqueous Ozone
We clean with ozone-enriched water. It kills bacteria, viruses and fungi just as effectively as chemical disinfectants — but leaves no residue, no fumes, and nothing harmful behind. Safe for children to be in the room immediately after cleaning.
Nordic Chem 2.0
A surface protection coating that stops dirt, limescale and grime from bonding to hard surfaces in the first place. Stains stay on top rather than sinking in, so they wipe off faster. Limescale can't grip washroom fixtures. Grease releases easily. The result: surfaces stay cleaner for longer between visits, daily cleans take less time, and the need for periodic deep cleans is significantly reduced.

Primary schools
A cleaner school means healthier children and better attendance. We make that happen.
Chemical-free · NHS-standard hygiene · Safe for children · Based in Essex
Primary schools are our main focus — and for good reason. Children spend more time in school than almost anywhere else. The hygiene standard of that environment directly affects how often they're ill, how often they're in class, and how well they learn.
Most school cleaning contracts are awarded on price and never independently reviewed. The products being used, the methods being applied, and the standards being met — nobody checks. We do things differently.
Safe for children — no harsh chemicals
We use stabilised aqueous ozone and Nordic Chem surface protection. No harsh chemicals, no harmful residues. Children can be in the room immediately after we've cleaned it.
NHS-standard hygiene
We benchmark every clean against the NHS national standards — the most rigorous hygiene framework in the UK. Your school benefits from clinical-grade methodology without the clinical price tag.
Reliable and consistent
We know how important routine is in a school. We agree a cleaning schedule that works around your day and we stick to it. If something changes, Nikki will call you directly.
We understand schools
Term times, inspection pressure, staff sensitivities, parents on site — we've worked in schools and we know how they work. You won't need to explain the basics to us.

Clinical environments need clinical standards. We know what that actually means.
NHS framework methodology · Infection control · Chemical-free where appropriate · Essex based
A GP surgery is not an office. The hygiene requirements are different, the risks are different, and the standard of cleaning needs to reflect that. Most commercial cleaning companies apply the same methods to a surgery as they would to a shop floor. We don't.
NRF is backed by expertise in NHS cleaning standards — including functional risk classification, which determines exactly how different areas of a clinical setting should be cleaned and how often. That's the standard your surgery should be cleaned to.
NHS framework methodology
We apply the NHS national standards for healthcare cleanliness — including functional risk (FR) classification — to every surgery and clinic we work in.
Infection control awareness
Our team understands cross-contamination risks, correct colour coding, and the difference between a check clean and a full clean. These aren't extras — they're the basics.
Chemical-free options
Stabilised aqueous ozone is highly effective in clinical environments — used in hospitals across Europe. We can discuss the right product approach for your specific setting.

Reliable cleaning for Essex offices and small businesses — done properly.
Professional · Consistent · Local · Fairly priced
A clean office matters more than most employers realise. Sickness absence, staff morale, the impression you make on clients — all of it is affected by the standard of your cleaning. NRF brings the same professional approach to office cleaning that we apply in schools and surgeries.
Regular contracted cleaning
Daily, weekly or as-needed — we agree a schedule that works for your business and we stick to it.
Professional standards
We don't cut corners. NHS-benchmarked methodology applied to every environment we clean, regardless of size.

Founder & Operations Director
I set up NRF Solutions because I wanted to run a cleaning business the right way — where the standard of work actually matters, where clients are treated as people, and where the team doing the cleaning is properly trained and supported.
We're based in Southend and we work across Essex. We focus on primary schools, GP surgeries and small businesses — environments where the standard of cleaning genuinely affects people's health and wellbeing.
NRF is backed by serious professional expertise — over 20 years in the cleaning and facilities management industry, including one of fewer than 60 people in the UK to hold the Chartered Environmental Cleaner designation. That knowledge shapes everything we do, from the products we use to the standards we clean to.

The standard behind the business
Chartered Environmental Cleaner oversight — one of fewer than 60 in the UK.
The Chartered Environmental Cleaner designation is awarded by the British Institute of Cleaning Science. It represents the highest individual professional standard in the UK cleaning industry — and fewer than 60 people hold it.
It requires demonstrated expertise across environmental hygiene, infection control, compliance and operational management. The methods NRF uses, the products we specify, and the standards we clean to all reflect that level of professional knowledge.
Nikki will get back to you within 24 hours. She'll ask you a few simple questions — what type of building, how many rooms, how often you need cleaning. From there she can usually give you a ballpark figure straight away, and arrange a site visit if you'd like a firm quote.
No obligation. No pressure. Just a straight conversation.

From the team
Thoughts on hygiene, safe spaces and what clean really means.
September 2026 · Nikki Parish
Hi, I'm Nikki — and I'm passionate about safe spaces.
I'm Nikki Parish, Founder and Operations Director of NRF Solutions, and I genuinely believe that the places where we work, learn and heal should be as safe as they possibly can be.
That might sound obvious. But in my experience, "clean" and "safe" aren't always the same thing. A floor can look spotless and still harbour bacteria that make people ill. A school toilet block can smell fine and still be a transmission risk. The difference is in the detail — the products used, the method, the frequency, and the care taken by the people doing the job.
That's what drives me.
Before starting NRF, I saw first-hand how many schools, GP surgeries and small businesses were working with cleaning contractors who were doing their best — but without access to the latest thinking on infection control, chemical safety or hygiene standards. Nobody was letting them down on purpose. The knowledge just wasn't being shared.
NRF exists to change that. We bring NHS-level hygiene thinking to the kinds of buildings that don't always get that level of attention — independent schools, local surgeries, small offices. Places where the people inside them deserve to feel safe, even if they never think about why they do.
We use chemical-free cleaning methods where we can, we follow best practice on reducing sickness transmission, and we treat every building we work in as if our own families were using it.
Because honestly? Sometimes they are.
If you'd like to talk about what genuinely safe cleaning looks like for your building, I'd love to hear from you.
Answer four quick questions and we'll give you an indicative monthly cost — based on BICSc industry work rates and a £23/hr charge rate. All quotes are subject to a free site survey.
What type of building is it?
Select the option that best describes your premises.
How large is the building?
Total floor area in square metres (all floors combined). Not sure? A typical classroom is around 50–60m².
Enter a value between 50 and 50,000 m²
How often do you need cleaning?
Most schools and offices clean 5 days a week. Healthcare settings often require daily cleaning as a minimum.
Almost there — where shall we send your estimate?
