Complaints Procedure for Carpet Cleaners KT6

This complaints procedure explains how customers using our carpet and upholstery cleaning services in KT6 and nearby areas can raise concerns, how we will respond, and what steps we take to resolve issues fairly and promptly. Our aim is to provide a transparent, consistent approach so that every complaint is handled with care and respect.

Our Commitment to You

We are committed to delivering high standards of cleaning and customer care. If something goes wrong, we want to know about it so we can put it right and improve our service. Every complaint is taken seriously, recorded, investigated, and used as an opportunity to review our processes and staff training.

What Counts as a Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our carpet, rug, upholstery, or related cleaning services, whether it concerns the quality of work, the conduct of our staff, our booking process, pricing clarity, punctuality, or aftercare. You do not need to use any specific words for your concern to be treated as a complaint.

How to Make a Complaint

You can raise a complaint using any of the following methods:

In person: You may speak to the cleaning technician on site at the time of service and explain the issue. Where possible, minor issues may be resolved immediately.

In writing: You may submit a written complaint, providing as much detail as possible about the service, the date and time of the appointment, and the nature of your concern. Written complaints allow us to review all the information carefully and provide a considered response.

Through our office: You may raise your complaint with our office team, who will log the details and pass them to the appropriate person for investigation.

Information We Need From You

To help us handle your complaint efficiently, please include:

Your full name and the address where the cleaning took place.

The date and approximate time of the appointment.

A clear description of the issue, including the affected areas or items, such as specific rooms, carpets, rugs, or upholstery.

Any photographs you may have that show the problem, if relevant.

Details of any conversations already had with our staff about the matter.

Timescales for Raising a Complaint

We encourage customers to raise any concerns as soon as possible, ideally within 48 hours of the completed service. Reporting issues promptly helps us assess the condition of the cleaned areas more accurately and identify any cause more easily. While we will always do our best to consider complaints raised later, timely reporting improves the likelihood of a practical and satisfactory resolution.

How We Handle Your Complaint

Stage 1: Acknowledgement

Once we receive your complaint, we will acknowledge it as soon as reasonably possible. We will confirm that your complaint has been logged and give you an indication of when you can expect a full response.

Stage 2: Investigation

Your complaint will be passed to a manager or senior staff member for investigation. This may include reviewing job notes, speaking with the cleaning technician, reviewing photos, and, where appropriate, arranging a visit to inspect the work at your property in KT6 or the nearby area.

Stage 3: Response

After the investigation, we will provide you with a written or verbal response setting out our findings, any explanations required, and, where applicable, the steps we propose to resolve the issue. We aim to provide a full response within a reasonable timeframe, depending on the complexity of the complaint.

Possible Outcomes and Remedies

Where a complaint is upheld, we may offer one or more of the following, depending on the circumstances:

A return visit to re-clean the affected carpet, rug, or upholstery areas.

Practical advice on aftercare or additional steps to improve the result.

A partial or full refund where appropriate and justified by our findings.

An apology and explanation, along with measures to prevent similar issues in future.

All remedies are assessed on a case by case basis, taking into account the condition of the items before cleaning, the service booked, and any limitations explained in advance.

If You Are Not Satisfied With the Outcome

If you feel that your complaint has not been resolved to your satisfaction, you may request that it is reviewed by a senior manager. This review will consider the original complaint, the investigation carried out, our response, and any further information you wish to provide. We will then confirm our final position and any additional actions we are able to offer.

Fair Use and Reasonable Expectations

Carpet and upholstery cleaning results can be affected by factors such as age, fibre type, previous staining, wear, and any prior cleaning attempts. While we always aim to achieve the best possible result for every property we service in and around KT6, some permanent damage or discolouration cannot be fully removed. Our complaints procedure focuses on whether the agreed work was carried out with reasonable care and skill in line with our service description and industry practice.

Confidentiality and Data Protection

All complaints are handled confidentially. Information is only shared within our company with staff who need it to investigate and resolve your complaint. Any personal information you provide will be stored and processed in line with our data protection responsibilities. Details of complaints may be used in anonymised form to improve staff training and service quality.

Continuous Improvement

We regularly review complaints received from customers across KT6 and surrounding neighbourhoods to identify patterns, training needs, or changes we can make to our procedures, equipment, and communication. By following this complaints procedure, we aim not only to resolve individual issues but also to continually raise the standard of our carpet and upholstery cleaning services.
