How to Make a Complaint

You can make a complaint in writing. Please include as much relevant information as possible so that we can investigate effectively. Where possible, provide:

Your full name and the address where the cleaning service was carried out.

The date of the service and the approximate time of the appointment.

A clear description of what went wrong and how you believe it should be resolved.

Any supporting information, such as photos, invoices, or written notes.

If you are raising an urgent issue, such as a concern about safety or significant damage, please state that clearly in your initial message so we can prioritise it.

Time Limits for Submitting Complaints

To help us investigate effectively, we encourage customers to raise complaints as soon as possible after the event. For issues relating to the quality of cleaning or visible results, we recommend contacting us within 48 hours of the service. For other matters, such as billing or staff conduct, please contact us as soon as you become aware of the issue.

What Happens After You Complain

Once we receive your complaint, we will follow a clear process:

Acknowledgement: We will acknowledge your complaint in writing. This acknowledgement will usually be sent within a few working days.

Initial Review: We will review the information you have provided and decide what further details, if any, are needed. We may contact you to clarify specific points or to request additional evidence such as photographs.

Investigation: A member of our management team will investigate the complaint. This may involve speaking with the cleaning operatives, reviewing job records, checking booking and billing information, and, where appropriate, arranging a revisit to inspect the work.

Outcome and Response: When the investigation is complete, we will send you a written response setting out our findings, any action we propose to take, and the reasons for our decision.

We aim to complete this process within a reasonable time, depending on the complexity of the complaint and the need for further information or site visits.

Possible Resolutions

Where your complaint is upheld, we will work with you to reach an appropriate solution. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

Providing additional cleaning or a re-clean of the affected areas.

Offering a partial or full refund for part of the service.

Agreeing on another form of remedy that is fair and practical in the circumstances.

Where damage or loss is involved, we will follow our internal procedures and insurance processes. Each case will be considered on its individual facts.

If You Are Not Satisfied With the Outcome

If you are unhappy with the outcome of your complaint, you may request a review. In your request, please explain why you disagree with the decision or outcome and provide any additional information you feel is relevant.

Where possible, a different member of management will review the original investigation and outcome to ensure that your complaint has been handled fairly and in line with this procedure. We will then provide a further written response.

Confidentiality and Data Protection

All complaints are handled in confidence. Information about your complaint will only be shared with team members who need it in order to investigate and resolve the matter. We will handle your personal data in line with our data protection practices and only retain complaint records for as long as necessary.

Using Feedback to Improve Our Services

Every complaint is reviewed not only for resolution, but also for learning. We regularly analyse the feedback we receive from customers in the Carpet Cleaning SW8 service area to identify patterns and opportunities for improvement. This may include additional staff training, changes to our cleaning methods, updates to our communication practices, or refinements to our booking and billing processes.
