Carpet Cleaners SW4 Complaints Procedure

Carpet Cleaners SW4 is committed to delivering reliable, professional carpet, rug and upholstery cleaning services for homes and businesses. We recognise that, on occasion, things may not go as planned. This Complaints Procedure explains how you can raise a concern, what information we need from you, and how we will handle and resolve your complaint in a fair and timely way.

Our Commitment to You

We aim to provide a service that meets or exceeds your expectations on every visit. If you are unhappy with any aspect of our work, we want to know so that we can put things right and improve our services. All complaints are treated seriously, handled sensitively and used as an opportunity to review and enhance our practices.

What Is a Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our services, staff, communication, pricing or the way your booking has been handled, where you expect a response or resolution. This can include concerns about the quality of cleaning, punctuality, conduct of cleaning staff, clarity of information provided or any aspect of our customer care.

How to Make a Complaint

You may raise a complaint through any of our usual contact channels. Please set out your concerns as clearly as possible so we can understand the issue and investigate it promptly. When making a complaint, provide the following information where you can:

The name the booking was made under
Service address and postcode
Date and approximate time of the service
Type of service carried out, such as carpet cleaning, rug cleaning or upholstery cleaning
A clear description of what went wrong and how you would like us to resolve the matter
Any relevant photos, if there is visible damage, staining or other issues

If your complaint relates to more than one visit, please specify all relevant dates and which areas of the premises were affected.

Time Limits for Raising a Complaint

We ask that you notify us of any issues as soon as possible, and ideally within 48 hours of the service being completed. This allows us to investigate effectively, while the work and conditions are still recent. Complaints raised after this period will still be considered, but it may be more difficult to establish the facts or to offer certain remedies.

How We Handle Your Complaint

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

Initial acknowledgement: We will acknowledge your complaint as soon as reasonably possible and confirm that it is being reviewed.

Assessment and investigation: A member of our management team will review the details of your complaint, liaise with the cleaning operatives involved and consider any relevant notes, photographs or job records.

Site visit if required: In some cases, we may suggest a follow up visit to inspect the area in person. This helps us understand the issue fully and assess appropriate solutions.

Response and proposed resolution: After our investigation, we will provide you with a clear response, setting out our findings, any contributing factors and the steps we propose to resolve the matter.

Timeframe for Response

We aim to provide a full response to your complaint within 10 working days of receipt. If, for any reason, we need more time to investigate, we will let you know, explain the reason for the delay and provide an updated timeframe. Our aim is always to resolve complaints as quickly as possible while still carrying out a thorough review.

Possible Outcomes and Resolutions

Depending on the nature of the complaint and the outcome of our investigation, we may offer one or more of the following:

A clear explanation or apology where service has fallen short of our standards
A complimentary re-clean of the affected areas, where appropriate and practical
A partial or full adjustment to the service charge, where justified by the circumstances
Advice on ongoing maintenance or realistic expectations in cases where limitations were explained in advance

Any remedies offered will take into account the condition of the item or property before the service, pre existing damage, manufacturer recommendations for specific carpets or fabrics and any limitations highlighted at the time of booking or before work began.

When You Are Not Satisfied with the Outcome

If you are not satisfied with our initial response, you may ask for your complaint to be reviewed by a senior member of our management team. They will reassess the information, consider any additional details you provide and issue a final decision. We will clearly identify which reply is our final position on the matter.

Your Responsibilities

To help us handle your complaint efficiently, we ask that you:

Provide complete and accurate information about the service and your concerns
Allow reasonable time for us to investigate and respond
Ensure we or our operatives have safe and appropriate access to the property if a re visit is agreed
Treat our staff with courtesy at all times, whether in person, on the phone or in writing
