Great servicePosted on Simon CreedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I used Ideal for their leak detection service following a dispute with Thames water. I can honestly say from booking an appointment through to inspection and completion, I experienced a very professional service. Ben and Dave attended my property to carry out the inspection and subsequent works to repair. I was informed on an accurate time of arrival, and advised on each stage of the leak detection, great job by the lads I would happy recommend & use the services again.

Nice servicePosted on Susan BartlettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to thank Steve and his assistant for their understanding and the great job they have done cleaning and clearing a family member’s flat. This is a difficult time for the family and Steve’s understanding was much appreciated.Posted on Di HartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. DON’T USE. I only gave 1 star for turning up prompt. I have a damp ceiling and asked Ideal Response to survey my roof/ceiling to locate where the water was coming in, this cost £320 plus Vat, in total £420. Mick Ideal Response surveyor said he was mystified as to where the water was coming in, even though he measured damp inside the room on the ceiling. He could not give us an answer, he only told us what we already knew about the damp marks on the ceiling. I have today had a local roofer come in free of charge and within seconds, on the roof, he found the problem to be a split in the lead flashing against the outside wall - why o why didn’t I go to this roofer first. Big question, why didn’t Mick from Ideal Response find this, Mick was on the roof a lot longer than the roofer. I think £420 inc of VAT was easy money for Ideal Response.Posted on Paul MulhollandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had engineer Dave attend my home to locate water leak from the stop cock on pavement too the same in my house . Done all the tests and found it was on the Anglia water side on pavement, professional team from the office and Dave who attended. I would highly recommend thanks guys.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
