Maidstone sits on the River Medway, which runs right through the town centre, and that shapes the damage we are called to the most. The Medway has a known flood history. In 2013, the Christmas floods saw the river burst its banks and led to much of the town being underwater. Riverside businesses and the Lockmeadow complex were particularly affected. To date, the river gauge still records it as the highest it has ever been.
Other areas, such as Tovil, Allington and Aylesford, are equally affected. Their low level puts them within the Medway flood warning area, and heavy rainfall can soon lead to surface water flooding.
Additionally, the buildings within Maidstone also contribute to the problems. Older riverside properties and converted flats can face flooding from outside or an escape of water from old plumbing and pipework. Mould and damp can also take hold, especially in properties with poor ventilation. Due to our location, properties affected in this way can be reached quickly, helping us to minimise the damage and get your property safe.

Fire damage

Smoke damage restoration in Maidstone : Specialist teams will remove smoke residue, staining and odour from walls, contents and ventilation once the fire is extinguished.
Soot and ash cleaning in Maidstone : Soot and ash can spread fast and cause permanent damage to surfaces. Our team removes it before it takes hold.
Water and flood damage
Water damage restoration : We quickly extract water and conduct structural drying after a burst pipe, leak or flood.
Flood damage restoration : We pump out the water, clean the property and dry it after flooding from the Medway, surface water or a major leak.
Mould removal : Mould can be dangerous; our experts safely remove mould and the damp or condensation that drives it.
Damp surveys : We’ll diagnose the cause of damp and moisture with a clear, insurance-ready report and drying strategy.
Specialist Cleaning
Hoarder cleaning : Treating the issue with compassion and respect, we carefully clean and make safe hoarded properties.
Trauma cleaning : Where risks go beyond property, we handle biohazard and trauma scene cleaning with care to ensure safety, compliance and minimal disruption.
Environmental services
Oil and chemical spill clean up : Spills of oil and chemicals can harm people, animals and the property. We’ll rapidly contain the spill and stop it spreading or reaching drains.
Our Maidstone work is not only emergency water and fire damage. When a diesel spill spread across one of the car parks at Maidstone Studios, we were called in for a same-day response before the contamination could spread or reach the drains.
Two specialist technicians attended with a Dirt Driver, a 50-metre hose and jet washing equipment to lift the diesel safely from the affected surface. We photographed the spill before starting and again on completion to document both the extent and the result. All oil-contaminated absorbents and waste were collected and disposed of properly.
The car park was left clean, safe and back in normal use by the end of the same day. It is a good example of the rapid, self-contained environmental response we can bring locally, and of protecting a busy working site from disruption.
Customers from the local area approach us when something suddenly happens at their home or business, and it needs a rapid response and a specialist approach. Karyn in Gravesend called us after an internal flood at her premises over a Bank Holiday weekend:
“Outstanding service. Communication with Ideal Response over the Bank Holiday weekend was exceptional. The team went above and beyond to clean up after an internal flood from the main waste drain. Minimising disruption and allowing business to get back open. Professional company, I would highly recommend.”
