IDEAL by name, and by nature.
IDEAL were ironically, IDEAL - really accommodating and helpful on very short notice.
Very quick turnover time to assist with a hydraulic fluid spill where time was of the essence to get dealt with.
Operatives attending site were methodical in their working and very personable.
Cameron was very easy to deal with and had very swift and prompt communication.

Thank you, Freddie. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave this review.
We’re glad we could step in quickly when time was critical and help get the hydraulic fluid spill dealt with without delay. It’s great to hear the work on site was carried out methodically and that the whole experience felt straightforward and supportive.
Thanks again for your trust and for the kind words - we’re pleased we could help when it mattered.

Excellent service
This is an excellent service. Kash was speedy and helpful, gave quotes quickly and managed the booking which we moved around a bit. Touffik was incredibly fast and efficient on the day, he did the job thoroughly and carefully and worked really hard. There was a huge amount of work to do so having professionals who had done it before was exactly what we needed. They just got on with it, we couldn’t have done it without them.

We were highly impressed with the hygiene team. Before starting, they clearly outlined their process, which we greatly appreciated. Dan and Danny did a splendid job; when we returned, the house was immaculate and literally shining like new.

Kash at Ideal Response
Kash at Ideal Response was great to deal with and she organised the clean up after a burst pipe in my loft, it was nice to be guided in the right direction after a very stressful event. The clean up team were fantastic and very skilfully led by Elena. I cannot recommend this company high enough.

Hi Phil,
Thank you for your kind review. We’re really pleased we could help with the clean-up after the burst pipe in your loft and guide you through what can be a very stressful situation.
It’s great to hear Kash was able to support you from the start, and that the on-site team, led by Elena, delivered the service to such a high standard. We’ll be sure to pass on your feedback to them.
We really appreciate the recommendation and are always here if you need us again.
Coordinating a cleaning service to…
Coordinating a cleaning service to tackle a rat problem was a breeze with Kash. She was compassionate and patient, ensuring follow-ups were smooth without any pushiness. Remarkably, when I finally confirmed the booking, Kash recalled every detail even a month later. The process was straightforward, with easy paperwork and prompt responses through payment links and WhatsApp, even after hours.On the scheduled day, Sam and David arrived early, and they were nothing short of amazing. They handled everything with exceptional care and thoughtfulness. Although the quote seemed high initially, all companies were priced similarly, so I chose Ideal Response based on positive testimonials. Observing Sam and David's meticulous handling of my possessions convinced me that every penny was justified.These professionals tackle the toughest of tasks, from dealing with traumatic situations to managing disaster aftermaths, offering genuine support to families in distressing times. Their kindness and professionalism are truly remarkable, exuding respect and compassion without any judgement.I am deeply grateful to this team for their incredible assistance. Kash, Sam, and David, you were my saviors today. Battling cancer and facing a severe rat infestation left me overwhelmed and embarrassed, uncertain of where to turn. This team was perfect for the job! I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to reach out to them again.

Beyond happy
Words cannot describe how happy I am with the service provided.
From the very first interaction with Kash to the end, I couldn’t have asked for more.
Kash was so compassionate and helpful and despite it being a Sunday night, I had everything booked in for the very next morning.
Steve and Dave were the team at my property and they were so professional, discreet yet extremely personable, keeping me informed throughout and going above and beyond anything I could have imagined.
I’m so thankful for everything they did for me, it is phenomenal! Couldn’t have asked for a better service or better people.
Thank you!

Reliable and professional team
Reliable and professional cleaners, who knew exactly how to handle a combination of fire and hoarding situation. Everyone from First Response have been respectful, kind and efficient and I felt very confident leaving them to sort out the mess, significantly reducing the stress for my family.

Did exactly what was needed
I needed to arrange a medical-grade cleanup in a hurry after a relative died suddenly from a massive haemorrhage. Ideal Resoinse was the only company I found who specifically offered this service for a domestic setting. I was given a designated contact, and from start to finish, communication with Tahlia was very prompt and efficient. The team spent 4 hours at the property and did an impeccable job. Couldn’t recommend Ideal Response highly enough.

Hi Sandor,
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to share it.
I’m glad to hear your overall experience was positive, but I’m sorry that our communication fell short at times. You should never have to chase for email responses or be surprised by an engineer visit, and we’ll make sure this is passed on to the team so we can improve.
Thanks
The team were amazing
The team were amazing! Steve and Dave did a fantastic job of clearing my relative’s house after he died and we discovered he’d been a serial hoarder. It took four days of hard work and they consulted at every stage about what should be kept and what to get rid of, and left the house clear and deep cleaned. They were really professional but also understanding and supportive which made a real difference to an otherwise very distressing situation. And thanks also to Kash in the office for organising the visit so promptly. I’ve been telling all my friends about Ideal Response and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in a similar situation.

Very impressed with the swift response…
Very impressed with the swift response and thoroughness of the diesel spill clean up at Hatfield Park from Steve and Dave who carried out the work and Kash for coordinating it. The conditions were very challenging due to the wet weather conditions and not only did they feel with the spill they also removed all the contaminated leaf mulch. I would highly recommend and certainly hire them again.

Fantastic experience
Fantastic experience with Ideal Response, really quick response and very quick turnaround from enquiry to appointment and then full report. Kash was a joy to deal with and went above and beyond to get us what we needed on a very tight timescale, and Yaccine and his team that came to survey and do the report were professional, courteous, very understanding and thorough. Highly recommended, a really professional company with expertise, great customer service and a compassionate approach.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Absolutely Outstanding Service from Start to Finish
I cannot praise Ideal Response highly enough for the incredible service I received. What started as an extremely stressful situation was handled with such professionalism, speed and genuine care that it completely put me at ease.
A huge thank you to Kash, who was supportive, reassuring and kept me fully updated throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond, and her communication made a world of difference.
On-site, Steve and Dan were absolutely brilliant. Their expertise, hard work and attention to detail were outstanding. They approached everything calmly and confidently, and the results speak for themselves — I was able to clearly see the extent of the damage and feel reassured knowing the situation was being handled by real experts.
The whole team worked efficiently, respectfully and with such a positive attitude. They’ve genuinely been a lifesaver during an incredibly difficult time, and I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done.
I highly recommend Ideal Response and especially want to acknowledge Kash, Steve and Dan for their exceptional service. Thank you all — you’ve been amazing.
