Our Commitment to You

We aim to provide a reliable and professional cleaning service on every visit. If something goes wrong, we want to know about it so we can put it right. We treat all complaints seriously, handle them with respect and confidentiality, and use a structured process to investigate and respond.

We will always aim to:

Listen carefully to your concerns and understand the issue from your point of view.

Acknowledge your complaint promptly and clearly.

Investigate the matter thoroughly and fairly.

Provide a clear explanation of any findings and proposed solutions.

Learn from complaints to improve our services and staff training.

What Counts as a Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction, whether justified or not, about the standard of service you have received from us. This may include issues such as:

The quality or outcome of a cleaning visit.

Damage to property or items during a visit.

Missed or late appointments without reasonable notice.

Conduct, attitude, or behaviour of a member of our team.

Concerns about communication, invoices, or pricing clarity.

If you are unsure whether your concern is a complaint, please raise it with us and we will treat it appropriately.

How to Make a Complaint

You can make a complaint verbally or in writing. We recommend putting your complaint in writing where possible, as this can help avoid misunderstandings and allows us to investigate more effectively.

When making a complaint, please provide:

Your full name and the address where the service took place.

The date of the service and, if known, the time and the name of any staff involved.

A clear description of what went wrong and how it has affected you.

Any photographs, notes, or other information that may help us understand the issue.

What you would like us to do to resolve the matter, if you have a preferred outcome.

Timescales for Making a Complaint

To help us investigate thoroughly, we ask that you contact us as soon as possible after the issue occurs. For concerns relating to cleaning quality, we recommend raising them within 48 hours of the work being carried out so we can inspect the area and take appropriate action.

How We Handle Your Complaint

We follow a structured process to make sure all complaints are handled consistently and fairly.

Step 1: Initial Acknowledgement

Once we receive your complaint, we will acknowledge it as soon as reasonably possible. If you have contacted us verbally, we may also confirm our understanding of your complaint in writing to ensure we have all the necessary details.

Step 2: Investigation

A senior member of our team will review your complaint and gather any relevant information. This may include:

Speaking with the cleaning operatives or supervisors involved.

Reviewing job notes and any records from the appointment.

Looking at photographs or other evidence provided.

Arranging a visit to your property, where appropriate and agreed, to inspect the work or alleged damage.

We aim to complete our investigation within a reasonable timeframe, depending on the complexity of the issue. If we expect the investigation to take longer than usual, we will let you know and provide an estimated timeframe.

Step 3: Response and Outcome

After we have investigated, we will provide you with a clear and detailed response. This will include:

A summary of the issues you raised.

An explanation of our findings following the investigation.

Any actions we propose to take to resolve the matter.

Information on any changes or improvements we will make to prevent similar issues.

Where appropriate, we may offer one or more of the following remedies:

A re-clean of the affected area.

A partial or full refund, depending on the circumstances.

Repair or contribution towards repair for any proven damage, subject to our terms and conditions.

A goodwill gesture, where we feel this is appropriate.

If You Are Unhappy with the Outcome

If you do not feel that your complaint has been resolved to your satisfaction, you may ask for it to be reviewed. Your complaint and our response will then be re-examined by a different senior member of our team, where possible, who was not involved in the original investigation.

We will provide you with a final response after this review, setting out our position and any further steps we can reasonably take.

Confidentiality and Data Protection

All complaints are handled in confidence. Information about your complaint will only be shared with team members who need it for the purposes of investigating and resolving the issue. We will handle your personal information in line with applicable data protection requirements and our internal policies.

We treat every complaint as an opportunity to review and improve the way we operate within our carpet cleaning services. Outcomes and learning points from complaints may be used to:

Update training for cleaning operatives and supervisors.

Improve our procedures for bookings, communication, and site inspections.

Review our health and safety and quality control measures.

By following this complaints procedure, we aim to ensure that all customers in Colliers Wood and the nearby area receive a consistent, fair, and professional response whenever they raise a concern about our cleaning services.
