Complaints Procedure for Carpet Cleaners SW6

Carpet Cleaners SW6 is committed to providing a reliable, high-quality carpet and upholstery cleaning service. We recognise that, on occasion, customers may feel that a service has not fully met their expectations. This Complaints Procedure explains how to raise a concern, how we will respond, and the standards you can expect from us throughout the process.

Our Commitment to Handling Complaints

We treat all complaints seriously, whether they relate to the quality of cleaning, conduct of staff, timing of appointments, or any other aspect of our work. Our aims are to make it easy for you to tell us when something has gone wrong, to address the issue promptly and fairly, and to use the outcome to improve our services in the local area.

We will always handle your complaint with courtesy, discretion, and professionalism. Your statutory rights are not affected by this procedure.

Who Can Make a Complaint

This procedure is available to all customers of Carpet Cleaners SW6 who have used our carpet, rug, upholstery, or related cleaning services. Complaints can be raised by the person who booked the service or by someone authorised to act on their behalf, such as a property owner, tenant, or facilities manager.

How to Raise a Complaint

You can raise a complaint using any written method that is convenient for you, such as a written note or message directed to our customer support team. Verbal complaints made to our cleaning operatives or office staff during or immediately after a visit will be noted, but we may ask you to confirm the details in writing so that we can keep an accurate record.

When you contact us with a complaint, please provide the following information to help us investigate effectively:

The date and approximate time of the service, the service address, a clear description of the issue or concern, any relevant photographs, and your preferred method for us to contact you with our response.

We encourage customers to raise any concerns as soon as possible, ideally within a reasonable time after the service was carried out, so that we can review the work while evidence and details are still current.

Initial Acknowledgement

Once we receive your complaint, we will acknowledge it within a reasonable timeframe. Our acknowledgement will usually confirm that we have received your concerns, outline the next steps, and provide an estimated timescale for a full response.

If we need any further information from you to understand the issue fully, we will explain what is required and how this may affect our investigation timescale.

Investigation of Your Complaint

Your complaint will be reviewed by a member of our management or customer care team who was not directly responsible for the original work wherever possible. The investigation may include:

Reviewing job records and notes taken by the cleaning team, discussing the service with the operatives who attended the property, assessing any photographs, videos, or supporting evidence you have supplied, and where appropriate, arranging a follow-up visit to inspect the affected areas.

We aim to complete our investigation and provide a full response within a reasonable period. If, due to complexity or availability of information, we anticipate that it will take longer, we will keep you informed and update you on progress.

Our Response and Possible Outcomes

After we have investigated your complaint, we will provide you with a clear and honest response. This will include a summary of your concerns, the steps we have taken to investigate, our findings, and the outcome.

Depending on the nature of the issue, possible resolutions may include:

Offering a re-clean of the affected areas where appropriate, providing practical advice on ongoing care or maintenance if relevant, offering a partial or full refund where justified, or explaining why we believe the service was delivered in line with our standards and what limitations may apply.

We will always explain the reasons for our decision. Where we identify that our service has fallen short of our standards, we will take reasonable steps to put things right and prevent a similar issue from occurring again.

If You Are Unhappy with the Outcome

If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your complaint, you may ask for a further review by a more senior member of our team, where available. In your request, please explain which aspects of the decision you disagree with and provide any additional information you feel has not been considered.

The senior review will focus on whether the complaint was handled fairly, whether all relevant information was taken into account, and whether the outcome is reasonable in the circumstances. You will receive a final response once this review is complete.

Timescales and Expectations

While we cannot guarantee that every issue will be resolved to your preferred outcome, we can guarantee that we will treat you with respect, consider your views carefully, investigate the facts, and communicate clearly throughout the process.

We ask that customers treat our staff politely and allow us a fair opportunity to investigate and respond. Abusive or threatening behaviour towards our team will not be tolerated and may result in us limiting or terminating communication.

Using Complaints to Improve Our Service

Feedback, including complaints, plays an important role in helping Carpet Cleaners SW6 maintain and improve the quality of our carpet and upholstery cleaning services. We review complaints regularly to identify any recurring issues or trends so we can adapt our training, procedures, and service standards to better meet the expectations of homes and businesses in our service area.

By following this Complaints Procedure, we aim to resolve individual concerns fairly and promptly while continually improving the service we provide.
