TESTIMONIALS

“It is important to know who to ask – Steve Rhodes is definitely one of those guys! We’re proud to have worked with him for 25 years. Thank you for many years of good cooperation. Your expertise within dust extraction is truly superior! Nice to be among serious and professional colleagues. Looking forward to new adventures with Ideal Extraction in 2025.”

“We have worked with Steve and Ideal Extraction since setting up our own workshop and receive first class support and service from them. Our working relationship extends beyond our current business having dealt with Steve at previous companies and therefore would have no hesitation to recommend Ideal Extraction Ltd to any companies looking for an honest, reliable and competitively priced business to meet their extraction needs.”

NH, Uniquefit Interiors Ltd

“Ideal Extraction were recommended to us and after speaking to Steve, we arranged a site visit and survey. Everything was taken care of and a quote and drawings were sent over to us. After a few amendments to suit our needs we agreed the layout and price. The team then arrived on the date agreed and completed the installation to a very high standard and within the timeframe specified. I am more than pleased with how the system performs and it has saved us many hours replacing bags on our old system. Top Job!”

DT, Oak Store Direct Ltd

“Gresham have been working with Steve and his team at Ideal Extraction Ltd for many years now and they have never not done what has been asked of them, from breakdowns to our ongoing expansion within our factory, installing 800mm flanged ducting to 80mm clipped. They may be a tad on the expensive side but you pay for quality and experience and we will be using them again when we require any extraction works.”

GH, Gresham Office Furniture

“Worked with Ideal for many years, a top professional outfit. Excellent customer service and always turn up when they say. They have never let me down. Great for service, repairs and supply. Would highly recommend. “

BF, Garrads Timber Ltd

“Great team. From management to fitters they are all very professional and helpful. Their extraction designs work, and they just get on with the work without hundreds of coffee breaks. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my extraction, because if it goes down I have no business.”
