Complaints Procedure for Carpet Cleaning SE13 Customers

This complaints procedure explains how customers of our carpet cleaning services in SE13 can raise concerns, how we will respond, and what steps we take to resolve matters fairly. Our aim is to provide a clear, transparent process that treats every complaint seriously and respectfully.

Our Commitment to You

We work hard to deliver reliable, high quality cleaning. If something goes wrong, we want to know about it so we can put it right and improve our service. Every complaint is handled confidentially, listened to carefully, and investigated thoroughly. We will always treat you with courtesy and expect the same in return.

What This Procedure Covers

This procedure applies to any dissatisfaction with our carpet, rug, upholstery or related cleaning services in SE13, including:

Concerns about the quality of cleaning work carried out. Issues with punctuality, conduct or attitude of cleaning staff. Problems with bookings, access, or how appointments were managed. Disputes about prices, quotations or invoicing where they relate to the service provided. Any other aspect of our service that you feel did not meet agreed expectations.

If your concern relates to a safety risk or potential damage to property, please raise this with us as soon as possible so we can act quickly.

How to Make a Complaint

You can make a complaint verbally or in writing, whichever is more convenient for you.

To help us investigate efficiently, please provide the following where possible:

Your full name and the address where the service took place. The date of the service and, if known, the arrival time of the cleaners. A clear description of what went wrong or did not meet your expectations. Any relevant supporting details, such as before and after notes, photographs, or reference to agreed quotations. What outcome you are seeking, for example a re-clean, correction of an issue, or a review of charges.

We encourage you to raise any concerns as soon as you become aware of them, ideally within a short period after the service. This helps us investigate while details are still fresh and, where appropriate, to inspect the work.

Initial Acknowledgement

When you contact us with a complaint, we will acknowledge it as soon as reasonably possible. Where you complain verbally during or immediately after a visit, the member of staff may try to resolve it on the spot where appropriate. If it cannot be resolved immediately, it will be passed to a senior member of our team for further review.

For written complaints, we will confirm that your complaint has been received and let you know the next steps in the process, including when you can expect a more detailed response.

Investigation of Your Complaint

Once a complaint is received, we will carry out an impartial investigation. Depending on the nature of the issue, this may include:

Reviewing your account and booking details. Speaking with the cleaners or staff involved in the service. Reviewing any photographs, notes, or related documentation. Where appropriate, arranging a visit to inspect the area or items that are the subject of the complaint.

Our aim is to fully understand what happened, why it happened, and what can be done to resolve the situation.

Our Response and Possible Outcomes

After we have investigated your complaint, we will provide a clear response. This will explain:

Our understanding of the concern you raised. The findings of our investigation. Any steps we have already taken or propose to take to resolve the matter.

Depending on the circumstances, outcomes may include, where appropriate and at our discretion:

A sincere apology and explanation. A re-clean of the affected area or items where this is practical and safe. A review or adjustment of charges where justified. Internal training or procedural changes to prevent a similar issue arising again.

We aim to be fair and reasonable in every case, taking into account the condition of carpets or upholstery before cleaning, any limitations explained in advance, and industry best practice.

Timeframes

Our goal is to address concerns quickly while allowing enough time for a proper review. We will usually provide an initial response within a reasonable time after receiving your complaint and will keep you informed if more time is needed for a detailed investigation, for example where multiple staff members need to be consulted or an inspection visit is required.

If You Are Not Satisfied

If you feel that your complaint has not been resolved satisfactorily, you may request that it is reviewed by a more senior member of our team. When doing so, please explain why you remain dissatisfied and what further outcome you are seeking.

The senior reviewer will look at the complaint afresh, consider the previous investigation and response, and decide whether any additional steps are appropriate. You will then receive a final response outlining the decision and reasons.
