Purpose of This Complaints Procedure

The purpose of this procedure is to provide a clear, fair and accessible process for clients who wish to complain about any aspect of our carpet, upholstery or related cleaning services.

This procedure applies to all clients, whether domestic or commercial, who have booked and received a cleaning service from Carpet Cleaners Knightsbridge.

Conduct, attitude or behaviour of any member of our team

Clarity of pricing, quotations or invoicing

Any perceived failure to follow agreed instructions or job specifications

We encourage you to raise your concerns as soon as possible after the service so that we can address them promptly and effectively.

You can make a complaint using any written method you find convenient, such as a written note delivered to us or a message via an online contact form where available. When submitting your complaint, please provide:

Your full name and preferred method of contact

The date and location of the cleaning service

A clear description of the issue you experienced

Any relevant photographs, if the complaint relates to the condition of your carpets, upholstery or other surfaces

Any steps already taken to address the matter with our operatives on the day

Providing detailed information at the outset helps us investigate the situation thoroughly and respond more quickly.

Our Acknowledgement of Your Complaint

Once we receive your complaint, we will acknowledge it in writing within a reasonable time frame. In our acknowledgement we will:

Confirm that we have received your complaint

Provide a reference or way to identify your case

Explain the next steps in the review process

Indicate an expected timescale for our full response

If we require further information to understand the issue, we may contact you to clarify details or request supporting evidence.

Investigating Your Complaint

Your complaint will be reviewed by a member of our management team who was not directly involved in the original service, wherever possible. The investigation may include:

Reviewing booking details, instructions and job records

Speaking with the cleaning operatives involved

Considering any photographs or evidence provided

Assessing whether our internal procedures and quality standards were followed

We aim to conduct investigations fairly and objectively, considering both the client's account and the information available from our staff and records.

Our Response and Proposed Resolution

After completing our investigation, we will provide a written response setting out:

Our understanding of the complaint

The findings of our review

Whether the complaint is upheld in full, in part, or not upheld

Any steps we propose to resolve the matter

Examples of potential resolutions, depending on the circumstances, may include:

Providing additional cleaning or re-cleaning of specified areas

Offering a partial or full adjustment to the service charge where appropriate

Providing advice or guidance on aftercare where this would help address residual concerns

Explaining changes to our internal procedures or training to help prevent similar issues

We will explain the reasoning behind our decision and resolution so that you can see how we reached our conclusion.

Timeframes

We strive to deal with complaints as quickly as is reasonably possible. While actual timescales may vary depending on complexity and the availability of information, we aim to:

Acknowledge your complaint within a short and reasonable period

Provide a full written response within a further reasonable period

If we cannot meet these indicative timeframes, we will update you and explain the reason for any delay, together with an expected date for our full response.

If You Are Not Satisfied With the Outcome

If you are dissatisfied with our written response or proposed resolution, you may contact us again in writing to explain why you remain unhappy. Where appropriate, we may:

Review the complaint again, possibly involving a more senior member of the team

Consider any new information or evidence you provide

Clarify aspects of our decision that may not have been fully understood

While further review does not guarantee a change to the original outcome, we are committed to listening carefully and responding courteously to any continuing concerns.

Use of Complaints to Improve Our Services

We value feedback from our clients and treat complaints as an important opportunity to improve the quality, reliability and consistency of our cleaning services. Where appropriate, information from complaints may be used to:

Update staff training and supervision

Refine our service procedures and checklists

Review our booking, communication and quality control processes

By following this complaints procedure, Carpet Cleaners Knightsbridge aims to ensure that any issues you experience are addressed fairly and constructively and that we continue to raise our standards for clients throughout the area we serve.
