Amazing service
Amazing service. Many thanks to Renatas and Jay for their excellent work. They both worked incredibly hard at our property. They were both very nice and friendly. My sister and I are extremely grateful for their hard work and we are very pleased.
I would highly recommend this company.
Thank you Ideal Response.

Very professional from start to finish
Very professional from start to finish. The guys on site Mark C and Johnny were brilliant. Worked so hard to get our shop back to white after nasty greasy carbon smoke deposits after an oil fire next door to our shop. Kept us informed every step of the way. Would highly recommend their services. Lovely friendly guys who are a credit to the company. Di and Michaela

Incredible results
Incredible results! After a small electrical fire in one of our hotel rooms we were unable to let the room despite many attempts by us to clean and scrub. The smoke odour just lingered.
After Ideal Response attended today we were blown away with the results! The room is back in action thanks to these guys. A special mention to both Steve and Danny for their professionalism today and Kian for his swift responses to our emails and for keeping us fully informed of the process. The whole team inspired confidence, and gave us peace of mind that all was safe during the conducting of the odour removal. 10/10 service Thank you.

Hi Brian,
Thanks so much for the fantastic review! We’re really glad we could help get the room back in action. Smoke odour can be incredibly stubborn, so it’s great to hear the results made such a difference.
Steve, Danny, and Kian will be thrilled to get a special mention, they all take real pride in their work, so knowing you felt informed and reassured throughout means a lot to us.
We really appreciate the 10/10 and the kind words. If there’s ever anything else we can help with, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Calming, Efficient and Effective - an Incredible Team
We couldn't have been happier with the service we received from Ideal Response. After an incredibly stressful incident on our site, their calm, efficient and effective response was exactly what we needed. Kash from the office was able to support us through every step of the process, providing quotes and information as soon as we needed it, even out of hours. As the job evolved and grew, she kept us informed. This experience was then matched by the exceptional on site team, Steve, Dan, Danny & Sean. From the moment they were on site, we knew we could trust them - at a very stressful time they were calm, and were quick to get on with the job. Both ourselves and our further client have been incredibly pleased with the work that was carried out, and would happily recommend Ideal Response, and in particular this team, in the future.

Ideal Response review
I can’t recommend this company highly enough!
Kash has been superb! Communication is excellent, she responds very quickly and the job was arranged for the next day! She is calm, empathetic and efficient. She made the whole process so easy and stress free.
Mark and John were absolutely fantastic! They are multi-skilled and were able to do the stripping out, asbestos removal and drying!
Others companies I had quotes from were not able to do all 3 jobs this and had a 2 week before they were able to come out.
Mark was extremely knowledgable and explained exactly what he was doing. He listened to our needs and made sure everything he did was suitable and convenient for us to live with after. They both worked very hard and got the job finished very quickly within a day! Other companies were proposing 3 days work.
They were both polite, warm and friendly and I wouldn’t hesitate to have them back to do further works.
Thank you Ideal Response. I really have been very impressed!

Needed urgent help after water…
Needed urgent help after water overflowed from my bathroom sink, flooding the bathroom and hallway. Spoke with Kash on the phone who was incredibly helpful, answered all my questions and arranged help to be with me in only about 2 hours. Mark and Jonny arrived and began work immediately. They were polite, friendly, efficient and carried out work to a high standard. They were really great at communicating and keeping me informed of what they were doing and next steps. Thankfully all is under control now and all for a competitive price. Would definitely recommend

Hydraulic fluid spill sorted same afternoon!…
We had a leak of hydraulic fluid from a courier vehicle that was parked in a busy, public location. Lola was quick to respond, guided us through the process efficiently and had a quote over right away. We were able to have the spill contained within the same afternoon thanks to the quick deployment of the driver & technician. Thank you for a great service!

Nearly had to close the school!
Had to deal with a big water leak cleanup discovered at 9pm in the school I work in. Rang a few places on Google and Kash was the only one to respond among all the "24/7" services. She was very helpful, organised the paperwork very quickly and got the technician out asap.
When Dan arrived he was super helpful also and very cheerful given it was already 11pm. He worked hard till 1am and in the morning school opened as usual like nothing had happened. Can't thank them both enough for averting a disaster! Definitely top of the list for our next emergency!

That sounds like an incredibly stressful situation, especially in a school where keeping things running smoothly is so important! We’re so glad Kash and Dan were able to step in quickly, handle everything efficiently, and help avoid any disruption for staff and students. It’s great to hear that their hard work and positive attitude made a difference—even in the middle of the night!
Thank you for your kind words and for trusting Ideal Response. We’re always here if your school ever needs us again (though we hope it won’t be for another emergency!).

Excellent team sent out by Ideal Response
Mark and Johnnie were the team sent out by Ideal response. They worked very hard and were excellent, cleaning as much as they could, discussing further options with us and even helping us clean the exterior access area. I would thoroughly recommend the team they sent out. It is a shame, however, that Ideal Response insist on full payment before they even come to assess the problem as it led to an initial reluctance to complete the job as was understood under the terms of the pre-payment.

Thanks again for choosing Ideal Response.
We had a brilliant experience with Ideal Response
We had a brilliant experience with Ideal Response. A surveyor came out following a flood to take water readings and recommend a plan. Istvan and Dan then came out and put all the machines in place-explaining how they all worked and making sure they were placed to cause as little disruption as possible. A two week programme had been recommended and after a week, progress was checked, machines moved and adjusted so that at the end of the two weeks we could be signed off with normal water levels and the machines removed. Everyone who came out was lovely and made sure we understood exactly what was being done and why. We couldn’t recommend them more.
