This Complaints Procedure explains how customers of our carpet cleaning services in the W1 area can raise concerns and how we will respond. Our aim is to resolve any issues quickly, fairly and professionally, while using your feedback to improve our services.

Our Commitment to Handling Complaints

We take all complaints seriously. Whether your concern relates to the quality of carpet or upholstery cleaning, conduct of cleaning technicians, punctuality, or any other aspect of our service, we will:

Listen carefully to your concerns, record all relevant details, investigate the matter impartially, and aim to reach a fair resolution as quickly as possible.

We also review complaint outcomes regularly so we can improve our cleaning processes and customer service across the W1 area.

What Is Considered a Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction, whether spoken or written, about our services, staff, or processes, where a response or resolution is expected. This includes, but is not limited to:

Concerns about the standard of carpet cleaning or stain removal, damage or suspected damage to carpets, rugs, upholstery or other items, late arrival, missed appointments or incomplete work, behaviour, attitude or professionalism of technicians, and issues with booking, invoicing, or any administrative process.

How to Make a Complaint

You may raise a complaint through any of the following methods:

Verbally to the technician on site at the time of service, verbally to our office team, or in writing to our customer service department. When making a complaint, please provide as much detail as possible, including your full name, service address, date and approximate time of the carpet cleaning service, a clear description of the issue, including any areas or items affected, and any photographs or supporting information that may help us understand the problem.

Timescales for Raising a Complaint

To give us the best chance of investigating and resolving your concern effectively, we ask that you contact us as soon as you become aware of a problem. For issues relating to cleaning quality, it is helpful if you notify us within 48 hours of the service so we can assess the results while they are recent.

Our Complaints Handling Process

Once we receive your complaint, we follow a structured process:

First, we acknowledge your complaint. For written complaints, we will acknowledge receipt and confirm that we are investigating the matter. We will aim to do this within a reasonable timeframe.

Next, we investigate. This may include speaking with the technician who carried out the work, reviewing job notes and checklists, examining any photographs or evidence you have provided, and, where appropriate, arranging a visit to inspect the areas or items in question.

After the investigation, we respond with our findings and proposed resolution. We will explain what we have found, any factors that contributed to the issue, and what we can do to put things right.

Possible Outcomes and Resolutions

Depending on the nature of the complaint and our findings, possible resolutions may include:

Providing a re-clean of specific carpets, rugs or upholstery areas, where appropriate and feasible, offering partial or full refunds where justified, giving guidance or aftercare advice to help resolve minor issues, providing reassurance about stain limitations where certain marks are permanent, and implementing internal changes to prevent similar problems occurring in future.

All resolutions are considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the condition of items before cleaning, any pre-existing damage, and the limitations of carpet and fabric cleaning methods.

When a Site Visit May Be Required

Some complaints, particularly those involving alleged damage or unusual results, may require a site visit. In these cases, we may arrange for a senior technician or supervisor to attend your property in the W1 area to inspect the carpets or upholstery.

During the visit, we will assess the materials, cleaning history, and any potential causes of the issue. This helps us provide a more accurate explanation and agree an appropriate resolution where possible.

Escalating Your Complaint

If you are not satisfied with the initial outcome, you may request that your complaint is reviewed at a higher level within our company. Your case will then be reassessed, considering all available information and any new details you may wish to provide. We will communicate the final decision to you once the review is complete.

Fairness and Confidentiality

All complaints are handled impartially. We treat customers and staff with respect throughout the process and do not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour. Information relating to your complaint will be kept confidential and only shared with those who need it in order to investigate and resolve the matter.

Each complaint relating to our carpet cleaning services in the W1 area is reviewed to identify whether changes are needed to our training, procedures, equipment, or communication.
