Our Commitment to You

We aim to provide a high standard of professional cleaning and reliable customer care. If you feel we have fallen short in any way, we encourage you to tell us. We treat all complaints seriously and use the feedback to improve our services, staff training, and quality control processes.

We are committed to

Listening carefully to your concerns

Dealing with your complaint courteously and respectfully

Investigating the matter thoroughly and impartially

Providing a clear explanation and, where appropriate, a practical resolution

Learning from complaints to prevent similar issues from recurring

What Counts as a Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our services, staff conduct, communication, pricing, or the outcome of a job, where you expect a response or resolution from us. This can include, for example

Concerns about the quality of carpet, rug, upholstery, or mattress cleaning

Damage you believe occurred during a visit

Missed or delayed appointments

Unclear or disputed charges

Behaviour or attitude of a team member

How to Raise a Complaint

You can raise a complaint in writing. Written complaints help ensure we have an accurate record of the issue and your expectations. Please include

Your full name and address

Details of the service carried out, including date and time

A clear description of the problem

Any relevant information such as photographs of the affected area, receipts, or job references

What you feel would be a fair outcome

While we encourage written complaints for clarity, we will also make a record of any concerns raised through other communication channels, and we may ask you to confirm key details in writing so that nothing is misunderstood.

Time Limits for Raising a Complaint

To allow us to investigate effectively, we ask that you raise any concerns as soon as possible after the service has taken place. Issues relating to the appearance of carpets, rugs, or upholstery are best reported within a short period of time, so that the condition of the items can be accurately assessed.

What Happens After You Complain

When we receive your complaint, we will follow a clear and structured process.

1. Acknowledgement

We will register your complaint and acknowledge it in writing. This acknowledgement will outline the next steps and provide an estimated timescale for our investigation and response.

2. Initial Review

A senior team member will review your account, job notes, any photographs, and other relevant information. If necessary, we may contact you to clarify details or request further evidence.

3. Investigation

Depending on the nature of the complaint, the investigation may include

Speaking to the technicians who carried out the work

Reviewing pre-cleaning inspections and risk assessments

Assessing any after-cleaning photographs or reports

Considering relevant industry standards and manufacturer guidance for carpets and upholstery

Arranging a revisit to inspect the property or items concerned, where appropriate and by mutual agreement

4. Decision and Response

Once the investigation is complete, we will send you a written response setting out

Our understanding of the complaint

The steps we took to investigate

Our findings and conclusions

Any proposed resolution or remedial action

We aim to provide a full response within a reasonable timeframe. If the investigation takes longer than anticipated, we will keep you updated on progress.

Possible Outcomes and Resolutions

Where our investigation shows that we could have provided a better service, we will seek to put things right in a fair and proportionate way. Depending on the circumstances, this may include

Offering to re-clean the affected area

Providing additional services to correct the problem

Offering a partial or full refund, where appropriate

Providing advice on aftercare or maintenance to help prevent recurrence

Taking internal action, such as staff training or procedural changes

Any resolution will take into account the condition of the items before cleaning, the limitations of cleaning methods, and any relevant pre-cleaning advice or disclaimers that were given.

When You Are Not Satisfied with the Outcome

If you are unhappy with our final response, you may ask for a review. In this review

A senior member of the team who was not directly involved in the original investigation will reconsider the complaint

The evidence, correspondence, and proposed resolution will be reassessed

We will provide a further written response confirming whether our original decision is upheld or altered

Our Expectations of Customers

We ask that all customers treat our staff with courtesy and respect throughout the complaints process. We will not tolerate abusive, threatening, or discriminatory language or behaviour. Where communication becomes unreasonable or persistent in nature, we may restrict the ways in which we can respond, a step we will only take as a last resort.

Using Feedback to Improve Our Service

All complaints and significant service issues are recorded and monitored. This information is used for quality audits, training, and improving our procedures. By sharing your experience, you help us maintain a consistent level of service across our carpet and upholstery cleaning work in TW8 and the surrounding areas.

Updates to This Complaints Procedure

We may update this Complaints Procedure from time to time to reflect changes in our processes, best practice, or legal and regulatory requirements. The most recent version will always apply to new complaints raised about our services.
