What Is Considered a Complaint
A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, related services or customer care, whether the issue is minor or serious. This can include, but is not limited to:
Concerns about the quality or effectiveness of the cleaning carried out.
Damage or suspected damage to carpets, rugs, upholstery, flooring or other property.
Punctuality, conduct or professionalism of cleaning staff.
Issues with bookings, scheduling, pricing or invoicing.
Any aspect of communication before, during or after the service.
How to Make a Complaint
You can make a complaint using any of the following methods:
Verbally to a team member at the time of the service.
Verbally to our office during business hours.
In writing, providing as much detail as possible about the issue.
When making a complaint, please include the following information to help us investigate efficiently:
Your full name and the address where the cleaning was carried out.
The date and approximate time of the service.
A clear description of the issue and how it has affected you.
Any relevant photographs or supporting information that illustrate the problem.
Timeframe for Raising a Complaint
To help us deal with issues effectively, we ask that complaints relating to a specific cleaning visit are raised as soon as reasonably possible, and ideally within 7 days of the service. This timeframe allows us to review the work while it is still recent and to assess any alleged damage or missed areas accurately.
Our Complaints Handling Stages
We follow a clear, step-by-step approach to managing complaints from carpet cleaning customers in W8 and surrounding locations.
Stage 1: Initial Acknowledgement
Once we receive your complaint, we will acknowledge it as soon as reasonably practicable. For written complaints, we aim to acknowledge receipt within a reasonable time frame. Where possible, we will try to resolve straightforward issues immediately at this stage.
Stage 2: Investigation
If your complaint cannot be resolved right away, it will be passed to a manager or suitably senior person for review. The investigation may include:
Reviewing job records, booking details and any notes from the cleaning team.
Speaking with the technicians who attended your property.
Assessing any photographs or evidence you have provided.
In some cases, arranging a follow-up visit to inspect the carpets, upholstery or affected areas in person.
Stage 3: Response and Proposed Resolution
After the investigation, we will provide a clear response explaining:
Our understanding of what has happened.
Whether your complaint is upheld in full, in part, or not upheld.
Any steps we propose to take to put things right, where appropriate.
Possible resolutions may include, depending on the circumstances and subject to our terms and conditions:
A re-clean of specific areas.
Partial or full refund where justified.
Alternative practical solutions agreed between both parties.
Timescales for Resolution
We aim to reach a final outcome as quickly as reasonably possible, taking into account the nature and complexity of the issue. Where an immediate resolution is not possible, we will keep you informed of progress and any next steps required, such as arranging an inspection or awaiting further information.
Your Responsibilities When Making a Complaint
To help us resolve your concerns effectively, we ask that you:
Provide accurate and complete information about the service and the problem encountered.
Allow reasonable access to the property if a follow-up visit or inspection is needed.
Retain any relevant items, such as damaged pieces of carpet, where practical, so they can be inspected.
Communicate with our staff in a respectful and cooperative manner.
Escalating Your Complaint
If you are not satisfied with the outcome provided at the end of our internal complaints process, you may request that your complaint is reviewed by a more senior member of our management team. They will consider whether the procedure has been followed correctly and whether the decision reached is reasonable in light of the available evidence.
While there may not be a formal external body specific to local carpet cleaning services, you are always free to seek independent advice if you remain unhappy after our final response.
Recording and Using Complaint Information
We keep a record of complaints and their outcomes to help us monitor service quality, identify recurring issues and improve the way we operate in W8 and neighbouring districts. Any personal data collected during the complaints process will be handled securely and in accordance with our privacy practices.
Policy Review
This Complaints Procedure is reviewed periodically to ensure it remains clear, fair and appropriate for our clients and for the range of carpet and upholstery cleaning services we provide. Updates may be made from time to time to reflect changes in our operations or in customer expectations.
We encourage all customers to contact us promptly with any concerns so that we can address them and ensure your experience with our carpet cleaning services is as positive as possible.
