Emergency Response, Disaster Recovery, Environmental Management and Property Restoration

Ideal Celebrate 10th anniversary

In February 2012, leading disaster response company, The Ideal Group UK, celebrates 10 years in business.

In 2002, founder Javid Ibrahim, transformed the company from a domestic cleaning business to a retail contractor, securing work with Sainsbury’s, Marks & Spencer, and Pizza Hut.

As part of natural growth, The Ideal Group developed its services and began working in the construction industry.  Not content to rest on their laurels, the company has gone on to introduce fire and flood emergency services to the company’s stable of services, along with restoration work.

The Ideal Group has always prided itself on being a leader in its field and it was this ethos that lead to the company being forerunners in the adoption of new rapid drying technology.  Ideal invested in this technology as soon as it was introduced in the UK.

The investment paid off during the nationwide floods of that year, when The Ideal Group worked tirelessly on rapid drying programmes in Tewkesbury, Gloucester, Sheffield, Hull and elsewhere.

After 10 years, The Ideal Group continues to invest in state of the art technology allowing us to lead the way as a reputable emergency response, disaster recovery, environmental management and property restoration service.

Ideal help in holiday home horror

When the Ideal Group received a call from a very distressed holiday home owner recently, we did what we always do and reassured the caller that, as specialists in cannabis factory decontamination and cleaning, they had called the right company to immediately repair the wrecked property.

The call came from an unsuspecting gentleman whose livelihood, his holiday home property, had been used as an illegal cannabis farm. The property, a large extended barn conversion, had recently been renovated to a very high standard and, understandably, the owner wanted it restored to its former glory as quickly and efficiently as possible. The Ideal Group stepped in to remove all traces of the nefarious activity that had been taking place in literally every part of the property, including the Jacuzzi bath. Continue reading

If you find yourself having to cope with contamination of any kind, whether it’s in a residential or commercial setting, it’s important to get it right from the very start.

Helping the Environment – Can You Recycle or Reuse?

In the same way all companies and businesses are now required by law to comply with stringent health and safety and fire awareness laws, they are now also required to observe new requirements regarding environmental legislations.  We all hear phrases such as being “eco friendly” and “reducing your carbon footprint”, but what does it all mean, and how can we be more friendly to the environment and at the same time still make good profits?

Health & Safety at Work – Risk Assessment

The term “Risk Assessment” is becoming more and more common in our daily lives. Sometimes it seems common sense, and sometimes bordering on ridiculous the amount of emphasis that is placed on health and safety in the modern workplace. However, like it or not, health and safety is here to stay and every business has to comply. Continue reading

Fire Safety

Over the past few years we have seen more and more employers take fire safety much more seriously than ever before. Gone are the times when a few fire extinguishers dotted around the office were sufficient, now an increasing amount of emphasis is being placed on getting it right. Much of this has to do with tighter regulations. In 2006 new regulatory reforms were passed which replaced over 70 pieces of fire safety law that need to be complied with. Continue reading
