The Business

NSS Group is a specialist services supplier. From building maintenance to window and technical cleaning, platform hire and equipment testing – self-delivered services, anywhere in the UK. The NSS group was formed by the merger of a number of large successful businesses to create one super group which gives our clients a service which is truly nationwide. 

The Division 

NSS is an industry leader when it comes to cleaning with a team of directly employed window and specialist cleaning professionals, dedicated to applying our expertise to meet and surpass customer expectations.
