Complaints Procedure

Complaints Procedure for Carpet Cleaners Brompton

Carpet Cleaners Brompton is committed to providing a professional and reliable cleaning service for homes and businesses in the local area. We recognise that, on occasion, things may not go as planned. This Complaints Procedure explains how you can raise a concern, how we will deal with it, and what you can expect from us at every stage.

Our Commitment to You

We aim to deliver high standards of carpet, upholstery and floor cleaning services. When a customer is dissatisfied, we view it as an opportunity to review our work and improve our service. All complaints are taken seriously, handled in a fair and consistent way, and used to identify any training or process changes that may be required.

What This Procedure Covers

This procedure applies to complaints about our cleaning services, including but not limited to carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, rug cleaning and related work. It covers issues such as the quality of cleaning, conduct of staff, punctuality, damage or alleged damage, and any other aspect of the service you have received from Carpet Cleaners Brompton.

Raising a Complaint Informally

We encourage you to raise any concerns as soon as possible, ideally on the day of the service or immediately after you become aware of an issue. In many cases, matters can be resolved quickly and informally.

You can raise an informal complaint by contacting our office or speaking directly with the team member who carried out the work, where appropriate. Please provide your name, the service address, the date of the service, and a clear description of your concern. Where possible, we may ask for photographs or other evidence to help us understand the issue.

Making a Formal Complaint

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of an informal discussion, or if you prefer to make a more formal complaint from the outset, you may do so in writing. Written complaints help ensure that we have a clear record of the issue and can respond in a structured way.

When submitting a formal complaint, please include the following information:

Your full name and contact details
Service address and date of the cleaning appointment
A detailed description of your complaint, including what went wrong and when
Details of any discussions already held with our staff about the issue
Any supporting evidence, such as photographs, reports or receipts

Timeframes for Making a Complaint

To allow us to investigate effectively, we request that complaints are made as soon as reasonably possible. Complaints about cleaning quality are usually easiest to review within a short period of the service being completed. Delays in reporting concerns may limit the options available for inspection and resolution, particularly where carpets or furnishings have since been used, treated or cleaned again.

How We Handle Your Complaint

Once we receive your complaint, we will acknowledge it within a reasonable period. We will review the details you have provided and may contact you if we require further information.

Where appropriate, we may arrange a visit to the property to inspect the area in question. Site visits allow us to assess the carpet or upholstery, understand the conditions, and determine whether any further cleaning, rectification work or remedial action is appropriate.

Our aim is to provide you with a clear response after our investigation. This response will outline our findings, any action we propose to take, and the reasons for our decision.

Possible Outcomes and Remedies

Depending on the nature and outcome of the investigation, possible resolutions may include:

Providing advice on aftercare or maintenance to help improve results
Arranging a partial or full re-clean of the affected area where appropriate
Offering an alternative solution where a re-clean is not suitable
Explaining why no further action can be taken, for example where the issue relates to pre-existing damage, permanent staining, wear, or limitations of the material

Any remedy will take into account the original condition of the carpets or furnishings, the scope of work agreed, and the limitations of cleaning methods and materials. While we take all reasonable care, not all stains, marks or damage can be removed, and some issues may only become apparent once cleaning is underway or completed.

Escalation of Your Complaint

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of our initial investigation and response, you may ask us to review the complaint again. An escalation request should explain why you disagree with our findings or proposed remedy, and include any additional information or evidence you wish us to consider.

We will then arrange for a further review, which may involve a different member of our management team assessing the complaint. Following this review, we will provide a final response explaining our position.

Your Responsibilities as a Customer

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

Provide accurate and complete information
Allow us reasonable access to the property to inspect and, where agreed, to carry out any remedial work
Follow any aftercare advice or instructions provided in relation to your carpets or soft furnishings
Communicate with our staff and representatives in a respectful and courteous manner

Continuous Improvement

Carpet Cleaners Brompton uses feedback and complaints as a valuable source of information to improve our cleaning processes, staff training and customer service. We review complaints periodically to identify any recurring issues and take steps to prevent them wherever possible.

Updates to This Complaints Procedure

We may update this Complaints Procedure from time to time to reflect changes in our services, operational practices or applicable standards. The current version will always apply to how we handle and respond to your complaint.
