We recognise that, on rare occasions, things may not go as planned. This Complaints Procedure explains how you can raise a concern or complaint, how we will respond, and what you can expect from us throughout the process.

Our Commitment to You

We aim to deliver high standards on every visit, whether we are providing carpet, upholstery or rug cleaning. When we receive a complaint, we treat it seriously and use it as an opportunity to put things right and improve our services. Our objectives when handling any complaint are to:

Respond promptly and courteously
Listen carefully and understand what went wrong
Investigate the matter fairly and thoroughly
Provide a clear explanation and, where appropriate, a suitable resolution
Learn from feedback to prevent similar issues in the future

What Counts as a Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our cleaning services, customer service, staff conduct, pricing or communication that requires a response. Examples include, but are not limited to:

Concerns about the quality or thoroughness of carpet or upholstery cleaning
Damage or alleged damage to property or items during a visit
Missed or delayed appointments and scheduling issues
Behaviour or attitude of our cleaning operatives or office staff
Disagreement about charges, quotes or payment terms
Issues with how we have communicated with you before, during or after the service

We also welcome general feedback, comments and suggestions, even where you do not wish to raise a formal complaint. All feedback helps us improve our cleaning services across the local area.

How to Make a Complaint

You can raise a complaint using any written method you prefer, including a written note or letter. When you contact us, please provide as much detail as possible so that we can investigate effectively. Helpful information includes:

Your full name and the property address where the service was carried out
The date and approximate time of the cleaning appointment
A clear description of what went wrong and how it has affected you
Any supporting information, such as photographs, written notes or invoices
What outcome or resolution you are seeking, if you have a preference

If your complaint relates to a recent visit, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 7 days of the service, so that we can address the matter promptly.

Initial Acknowledgement

Once we receive your complaint, we will acknowledge it and confirm that it is being reviewed. At this stage we may ask for additional information or clarification to ensure that we fully understand your concerns. Our aim is to acknowledge all complaints within a reasonable period of time and to keep you informed about the progress of our review.

Investigation of Your Complaint

Your complaint will be investigated by an appropriate member of our team who was not directly involved in the issue wherever possible. The investigation may include:

Reviewing booking records, job sheets and any notes made by the cleaning team
Speaking with the cleaning operatives who attended your property
Examining photographs, videos or other evidence provided by you
Assessing the cleaning methods and products used during the visit
Considering whether our usual standards and procedures were followed correctly

We aim to complete our investigation and provide a response within a reasonable time frame. If the matter is complex or requires further enquiries, we will let you know and provide an updated timescale.

Our Response and Possible Outcomes

Once the investigation is complete, we will provide you with a clear and concise response. This response will explain:

The findings of our investigation
Whether your complaint has been upheld in full, in part, or not upheld
The reasons for our decision
Any proposed actions or resolutions

Depending on the circumstances, possible resolutions may include:

Offering to re-clean the affected areas
Providing a partial or full refund where appropriate
Offering a discount on a future cleaning service
Giving advice on maintenance or aftercare for carpets and upholstery
Taking internal action, such as additional staff training or changes to procedures

Our goal is to reach an outcome that is fair, proportionate and consistent with our responsibilities as a local cleaning service provider.

If You Are Not Satisfied with the Outcome

If you remain unhappy after receiving our response, you may request a further review. In your request, please explain which aspects of the decision you disagree with and provide any additional information that you feel is relevant. A different member of our management team will re-examine the complaint, the investigation and the outcome. We will then provide a final response, which will outline our position and any further actions we are able to take.

Timescales

We aim to handle complaints efficiently while ensuring a thorough review. Although timescales may vary depending on the complexity of the matter, our general approach is:

Acknowledge your complaint as soon as reasonably possible
Complete the initial investigation and respond within a reasonable period
Review any request for further investigation and issue a final response within an agreed timescale

If at any stage we anticipate a delay, we will try to keep you informed and explain the reasons.

Confidentiality and Data Protection

All complaints are handled with appropriate confidentiality. Information you provide will only be shared with staff members who need it to investigate and resolve the issue. We are committed to handling your personal information securely and in line with applicable data protection principles.
