Carpet Cleaners Haringey is committed to providing reliable, professional carpet and upholstery cleaning services. We aim to resolve any concerns quickly and fairly. This complaints procedure explains how you can raise an issue, how we handle it, and what you can expect from us at every stage.

1. Purpose of this Complaints Procedure

This procedure is designed to give customers a clear and simple way to tell us when something has gone wrong. It applies to all domestic and commercial cleaning services we provide in our service area, including carpet, rug, upholstery and related cleaning work.

Our aims are to:

Ensure all complaints are taken seriously and handled with respect.

Investigate complaints promptly, thoroughly and impartially.

Offer a fair explanation, apology where appropriate, and a practical resolution.

Use feedback to improve our services and staff training.

2. What We Class as a Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our services, staff, communication or the outcome of work carried out by Carpet Cleaners Haringey, where you expect a response or resolution.

Examples may include:

Concerns about the quality or results of a cleaning service.

Damage you believe occurred during a visit.

Missed or delayed appointments.

Conduct, attitude or behaviour of a team member.

Issues with pricing, invoicing or how your booking was handled.

3. How to Make a Complaint

You can raise a complaint using any written method that is convenient for you. Please provide as much detail as possible so we can understand and investigate the issue. Wherever possible, raise your complaint within a reasonable time after the service, particularly if it relates to cleaning quality or potential damage.

When submitting a complaint, please include:

Your full name and preferred contact details.

The service address and date of the visit.

A clear description of what went wrong and when.

Any supporting information, such as photographs or notes.

What outcome you would consider fair, if you have a specific resolution in mind.

4. Acknowledgement of Your Complaint

Once we receive your complaint, we will acknowledge it as soon as reasonably possible. Our acknowledgement will usually confirm:

That we have received your complaint.

Who will be handling the matter.

Any further information we may need from you.

An estimated timeframe for our investigation and response.

5. Investigation Process

We investigate all complaints impartially and with an open mind. Depending on the nature of your concerns, we may:

Review the original booking and job notes.

Speak to the cleaners or staff involved.

Examine any photos or other evidence you have provided.

Compare what was agreed in advance with the work actually carried out.

In some cases, we may request a follow-up visit to inspect the issue on site, with your permission and at a time convenient to you.

6. Our Response and Possible Outcomes

After completing our investigation, we will explain our findings to you in clear and straightforward language. Where your complaint is upheld, we will propose one or more of the following, depending on what is appropriate in the circumstances:

Rectification of the work, such as a re-clean of affected areas.

A partial or full refund, where justified.

A goodwill gesture or discount on a future service.

An apology and explanation of what went wrong and what we will change.

If we do not uphold your complaint, we will explain why, based on the evidence available and our terms of service.

7. Timescales

We aim to resolve most complaints as quickly as possible. Straightforward issues may be resolved within a few working days. More complex matters that require additional investigation may take longer. If we anticipate a delay, we will keep you informed and provide updates until the matter is concluded.

8. Escalating Your Complaint

If you are not satisfied with our initial response, you may request that your complaint be reviewed at a higher level within Carpet Cleaners Haringey. When asking for an escalation, please tell us why you are unhappy with the outcome and what you believe would be a fair resolution.

A senior member of our team will then re-examine your complaint, the evidence and our previous response. They may contact you directly to clarify details before making a final decision on behalf of the company.

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

Give a clear description of the problem and relevant dates.

Provide any supporting evidence you may have.

Respond to our questions or requests for information promptly.

Treat our staff with courtesy and respect throughout the process.

10. Use of Feedback and Continuous Improvement

Update staff training and guidance.

Revise our internal procedures and quality checks.

Improve communication about what is included in our services.

Adjust how we plan and schedule appointments in the service area.
