Specialist Cleaning for Food Sector Businesses
In the food sector, cleanliness is not optional. A failed inspection or hygiene issue can stop production, damage supplier relationships, and create serious reputational problems. The stakes are high, and the cleaning has to be done properly every time.
NEREC provides tailored cleaning for food production, processing, and storage sites across Scotland. We use the right chemicals, equipment, and procedures for food environments, and we provide full COSHH documentation as standard.

Why NEREC
Cleaning That Meets Food Sector Standards
Food site cleaning is not the same as general industrial cleaning. The chemicals have to be food-safe and applied correctly. The records have to be there if an inspector asks. The work often has to happen during a shutdown or outside production hours, which means timing matters as much as the cleaning itself.
We are COSHH compliant across all chemical use, SafeContractor approved, and experienced working in food production environments. Cleaning records and method statements are provided on request for your audit documentation.
We operate seven days a week, including overnight cleans where that is what production schedules require. Our own team does every job, no subcontracting.

How we work
Fitted Around Your Production Schedule
Food production sites rarely have much time to spare between shifts or production runs. Cleaning has to happen in the windows available, which often means overnight or at weekends. We discuss your schedule before we start and make sure the programme fits around it.
For pre-inspection deep cleans, we prefer as much notice as possible but can often accommodate urgent requests. Call us directly if timing is tight and we will give you an honest answer on what we can do.
All chemicals we use in food environments are food-safe and COSHH compliant. Product data sheets and method statements are available on request and kept on file for your records.
