Ideal Response

We're emergency response specialists, providing property cleanup, repair and restoration services to properties damaged by fire, flooding, trauma and other unexpected disasters. From our humble beginnings as a domestic cleaning company, we've grown to become one of the UK's largest contractors in emergency response, disaster recovery, environmental management and property repair and cleaning. Ideal Group became heavily involved in the 2007 floods, working flat-out on rapid drying programmes in Tewkesbury, Gloucester, Sheffield, Hull and elsewhere, a task made possible by our investment in advanced drying technology.

Not all buildings are made primarily of brick and stone. Some buildings have a large amount of glass, whether it's office windows or a full glass ceiling. But however the glass is used, one thing is certain: it needs care and attention to keep it in optimum condition. High windows attract dust and dirt. But if any debris is left on the glass surface, it will eventually go on to cause permanent scratches and damage. Clean windows, including skylights, can also improve LUX lighting levels - one customer saw an improvement of 60%, meaning that lights could be turned off during daylight, saving them money on their energy bills.

While a daily cleaning regime is essential for any commercial kitchen operation, sometimes, a little extra help is needed to keep your kitchen safe and compliant. Those hard to reach and inaccessible areas such as ceilings, high shelving and units, grates and drains, lighting, equipment, and kitchen fittings can harbour grease and fat. Not only are these potential fire risks, but they can also be breeding grounds for harmful bacteria. A one-off or periodic deep clean of your commercial kitchen can help you stay compliant with food safety regulations, avoiding hefty fines and damage to your reputation.

Algae, bird droppings, chewing gum, and general dirt and grime can blight even the sturdiest of surfaces. If left to build up, they can interfere with the traction properties of your surface, meaning it's slip resistance is significantly reduced and subsequently, the likelihood of slips and falls increases. This is particularly problematic for sports areas and children's play areas where safety is paramount. From tennis courts and playgrounds, to forecourts and pathways, our professional pressure washing services will bring your environment back to an "as new" state, reinvigorating it with life.

If you've been victim to a spate of graffiti, you might be contemplating the cost of graffiti removal versus leaving it be. But while its removal isn't always easy, leaving it has costs of its own to consider. A graffitied building doesn't give the best first impressions to potential customers and clients. In fact, it's well-known that properties decrease in value where graffiti is prevalent. It can act as a sign of neglect and a property that's uncared for, and will not only attract more of the same, but can also attract other acts of unsocial and criminal behaviour.

Air and surface decontamination is an essential component of your multi-barrier strategy, helping to prevent Sick Building Syndrome and to protect your workplace from cross-contamination and the spread of infection. With state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, we provide unparalleled elimination of pathogens and bacteria. Our thorough, effective sanitation programme will help to maintain a safe and hygienic environment. Ideal Response is trusted to provide deep clean services in a wide range of organisations, including healthcare facilities, commercial kitchens, education providers, sporting facilities, hotels, offices and restaurants.

The first impressions of your high streets and footpaths matter. Whether it's a failing high street or residential area that's starting to deteriorate, a deep clean of pedestrian areas can have a significant impact on local businesses and the community. Not only do clean streets promote community pride, but they act as a deterrent for other antisocial behaviours. For example, you have probably noticed that as soon as one bit of graffiti or chewing gum appears, it doesn't take long for more to appear after.

Whether your factory is used for printing, food, textile, motors or anything in between, they all have one thing in common: a need to be kept clean to avoid both health and safety and fire risks. That's where we can help. Experts in factory cleaning services, we are well versed to deal with any cleaning issue that may arise; from oil and chemical spills to mould and refurbishment cleans, to factory roof and window cleaning. Whether you're looking for periodic, emergency or one-off deep cleaning, we can facilitate your requirements while helping you to stay compliant with a variety of standards including health and safety, hygiene, and the CIBSE (Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers) recommendation for Lux Levels.

Hydrostatic pressure affects every basement whether you realise it or not. It is basically the pressure that is exerted by a liquid at the point where two forces are balanced, in this instance the force of ground water pressing in on your basement walls and the engineered structure (your basement and the air within the basement) pushing back on that force, cancelling each other out. When you introduce water into the basement the force that is pushing back on the ground water is increased. At the same time the pressure from outside the basement is increased to maintain the balance.

Smoke can be "driven" or "free floating". Driven smoke is pressurised, propelled by energy generated by the fire, and tends to affect vertical surfaces. Once cooled, driven smoke becomes floating smoke which is heavier than air, and as it is cooler tends to settle on horizontal surfaces. Whichever form of smoke has damaged your property, Ideal Response have the tools and expertise to remove all the sights and smells smoke leaves. The methods of smoke damage remediation we deploy are many and varied, and depend heavily on both the structure and material of the surface being cleaned, and the type of smoke residue that's been left behind.

An uncontrollable leak - whether from a burst water main, a plumbing defect or malfunctioning appliance - can cause significant damage and can be an extremely distressing time. Entire floors of a property can be affected and water can ingress into the smallest of gaps, making it difficult for it to dry out naturally. Not only does this increase the chance of rot and mould growth, but if left to stand, clean water can quickly turn grey. Although the water in your home may look clean, it can contain microbes which are dangerous to your health.

Dust, dirt, stains and grime can affect every nook and cranny of a warehouse and distribution centre. From flooring and walls, to ceilings and windows and everything in between including machinery and racking. Whether you're looking for a deep clean after a refurb, a spillage cleanup, or you're looking for a bespoke periodic cleaning regime, we can help. A warehouse clean can have multifaceted benefits, ranging from improved working conditions and a decrease in building deterioration to improved functionality of machinery and increases in production.

From dust and oil stains to Lux levels and chemical spills. We understand the complexities of keeping a warehouse safe for staff and visitors. With a variety of warehouse cleaning services, we can help from ground floor right through to ceilings - from planned and periodic work to emergency responses when you need to get back up and running quickly. The internal space of warehouses is vast and it's not uncommon for ceilings to be over 25 feet tall, often with storage and racking utilising the height.

Our flood restoration service will bring your building back to as close to pre-flooding condition as possible, meaning that you don't have to deal with the inconvenience of arranging one service after the next - we project manage from start to finish, minimising downtime, disruption and costs.
