Complaints Procedure for Carpet Cleaners SE23 Customers

This complaints procedure explains how customers of Carpet Cleaners SE23 can raise concerns about our carpet, rug, upholstery, or related cleaning services, and how we will respond. Our aim is to resolve issues promptly, fairly, and transparently, and to use all feedback to improve our service across our local service area.

Our Commitment to Handling Complaints

Carpet Cleaners SE23 is committed to providing a reliable and professional cleaning service. If something goes wrong, we want to know about it so we can put matters right and prevent similar problems in the future. We treat all complaints seriously, whether they relate to the quality of cleaning, conduct of staff, punctuality, pricing, or communication before, during, or after your booking.

What We Class as a Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction, whether written or verbal, about any aspect of our service. Examples include, but are not limited to:

Poor quality of cleaning results or missed areas within the agreed scope of work. Damage alleged to have been caused during a visit by our team. Concerns about staff attitude, conduct, or professionalism. Issues with booking, scheduling, or arrival times. Disputes about pricing, quotations, or charges. Problems with follow-up communication or aftercare. 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 may make a complaint in writing or verbally. While we accept complaints in any reasonable form, we encourage customers to submit them in writing where possible. Written complaints help us understand the issue clearly and keep an accurate record of what has happened.

When submitting a complaint, please provide the following information to help us investigate efficiently:

Your full name and the address where the cleaning took place. The date and approximate time of the service. A clear description of what went wrong and how it has affected you. Any relevant photographs or evidence, particularly where damage or unsatisfactory work is alleged. Details of any previous communication with our team about the same issue. We will acknowledge and handle verbal complaints with the same care, but may ask you to confirm key details in writing so we can investigate properly.

Timescales for Raising a Complaint

We ask that you raise any complaint as soon as reasonably possible after the issue arises, and ideally within 7 calendar days of the service. Prompt notification allows us to inspect the work where relevant, speak with the cleaning team while the visit is still recent, and give you a timely resolution. For complaints regarding alleged damage, it is particularly important that we are informed quickly so that we can assess the situation and consider appropriate steps.

What Happens After You Complain

Once you submit a complaint, we follow a clear process to ensure your concerns are handled fairly:

Acknowledgement. We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint and confirm that it is being reviewed. Where contact details are provided, we will usually acknowledge within a reasonable timeframe.

Initial assessment. We will review the details you have given us, check booking records, and, if necessary, speak to the cleaning team who attended your property.

Investigation. If the matter is more complex, we may request further information or evidence from you and may arrange to revisit the property to assess the situation. We will keep you informed of any significant steps we take during this stage.

Outcome and response. After the investigation, we will explain our findings and any decision reached. Where appropriate and within our terms and conditions, we may offer remedies, which can include re-cleaning specific areas, partial adjustments to charges, or other proportionate measures.

Response Times

We aim to provide a full response to most complaints within 14 calendar days of acknowledgement. If we are unable to do so because the matter is complex or requires further investigation, we will let you know and provide an updated timescale. We will keep you informed of our progress until the complaint is resolved or we reach a final position.

Escalation of Your Complaint

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your initial complaint, you may request an internal review. Your case will then be considered by a senior member of our team who was not directly involved in the original decision wherever possible. We will reassess the information, review the handling of your complaint, and provide a further written response setting out our final position.

Fairness, Respect, and Confidentiality

All complaints are handled with respect and without discrimination. We expect our staff and our customers to communicate courteously at all times. We will not tolerate abusive, threatening, or offensive behaviour towards our team. In such cases, we may limit the method or frequency of communication while still considering the substance of the complaint.

We treat all complaint information as confidential and handle it in line with relevant data protection principles. Details will only be shared within Carpet Cleaners SE23 with those who need to know in order to investigate and resolve the issue.

Using Feedback to Improve Our Service

Feedback, including complaints, helps Carpet Cleaners SE23 maintain and improve standards across our local service area. We regularly review complaints to identify recurring issues, training needs, and opportunities to improve procedures, equipment, and customer communication. Where appropriate, we will update our working practices or staff guidance to reduce the likelihood of similar issues arising in the future.

Review of This Complaints Procedure

This complaints procedure is reviewed periodically to ensure it remains clear, effective, and in line with our commitment to high-quality cleaning services. We may update or amend this procedure from time to time, and any changes will apply to complaints received after the updated version takes effect.

If you have any concerns about our carpet or upholstery cleaning services, please use this procedure to tell us. We will do our best to resolve matters promptly and fairly, and to restore your confidence in Carpet Cleaners SE23.
