What Counts as a Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our services, staff, conduct or communication, whether it is justified or not. This can include, but is not limited to:

Service not delivered as expected

Concerns about the quality of carpet or upholstery cleaning

Damage or suspected damage to items or property

Missed or delayed appointments

Behaviour or attitude of a member of our team

Communication problems before, during or after a visit

If you are unsure whether your concern counts as a complaint, you may still contact us. We will help identify the best way to resolve the matter.

How to Make a Complaint

You can raise a complaint about Carpet Cleaning SW4 in the following ways:

Speak to our cleaner or team member on site during the visit, if you feel comfortable doing so

Contact our office or customer service team after your appointment

Raise your concern in writing so that we have a clear record of the issue

Please include the following information where possible to help us investigate your complaint:

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

The date and approximate time of the cleaning visit

Details of what went wrong and how it affected you

Any steps already taken to discuss the issue with our staff

Time Limits for Making a Complaint

To help us investigate fairly, we ask that you raise any complaint about a cleaning visit as soon as reasonably possible. Ideally, you should contact us within 48 hours of the service, especially if your concern is about the visible result of the cleaning or a possible damage.

We understand that some issues may only become apparent later. In such cases, please contact us as soon as you notice the problem so we can assess the situation appropriately.

How We Handle Your Complaint

When we receive a complaint, we will follow these general steps:

Acknowledgement

We will acknowledge your complaint and confirm that it has been logged. Where possible, we will do this within two working days of receiving your concern.

Initial Assessment

We will review the details you have provided and decide the most appropriate way to investigate. This may involve speaking to the cleaner who visited you, reviewing job records, and, where relevant, examining any evidence you have supplied.

Investigation

We aim to complete our investigation and provide a response within ten working days. If the matter is complex and we need more time, we will explain why and give you an updated timescale.

Response and Outcome

Once we have completed our investigation, we will explain our findings and any decision we have reached. Where appropriate, we may propose one or more of the following:

A repeat or corrective cleaning visit

A partial or full refund, where justified

A goodwill gesture, where appropriate

An explanation or clarification of our processes

Changes to our procedures or staff training to prevent similar issues

Escalating Your Complaint

If you are not satisfied with the way your complaint has been handled by Carpet Cleaning SW4 or you disagree with the outcome, you may request that your complaint is reviewed at a higher level within our organisation.

To escalate your complaint, please clearly state why you are unhappy with our original response and what outcome you are seeking. A more senior member of our team will then review the case, including the original investigation and any new information you have provided.

We will aim to provide a final response to an escalated complaint within ten working days. If we need more time because of the complexity of the issue, we will let you know and keep you updated on progress.
