We aim to deliver excellent results and professional customer care at every visit. However, we recognise that occasionally things may not go as planned. This Complaints Procedure explains how you can raise a concern, how we will respond, and what you can expect from us at each stage.
Our Commitment to Handling Complaints
We treat all complaints seriously and use them to improve our services. When you contact us with a concern, we will listen carefully, investigate fairly, and aim to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We will treat you with respect and keep your information confidential, sharing details only with team members who need them to handle your complaint.
What This Procedure Covers
This procedure applies to any complaint related to our carpet, rug, upholstery, or related cleaning services, including but not limited to:
Issues with the standard of cleaning provided, such as stains not treated as agreed or areas missed. Concerns about punctuality, conduct, or professionalism of our cleaning technicians. Disputes about charges, quotations, or work carried out compared with what was agreed. Concerns about damage or perceived damage to carpets, upholstery, or other property during cleaning. Any other aspect of the service experience you believe has not met your expectations.
This procedure is intended for customers who have used our services in the Carpet Cleaning Queen's Park area and wish to raise a formal complaint.
How to Make a Complaint
You may raise a complaint as soon as you notice a problem. The sooner we are made aware, the easier it is for us to investigate and put things right. You can contact us using our usual communication channels shown on our website or on your booking confirmation.
When making a complaint, please provide as much detail as possible, including:
Your full name and the address where the cleaning took place. The date and approximate time of the service. A clear description of what went wrong or what you are unhappy about. Any steps you have already taken to try to resolve the issue informally with our team on site. Any photographs or evidence that may help us understand the problem, such as images of damage or areas not cleaned to the expected standard.
Providing full information from the outset helps us investigate more quickly and thoroughly.
Informal Resolution
Where possible, we encourage you to raise any concerns with the cleaning technician at the time of service. Many issues can be resolved immediately, such as re-cleaning an area or clarifying what has been included in the booking.
If the technician is unable to resolve the matter, or if you only notice a problem after they have left, you may escalate your concern through our office team using this Complaints Procedure.
Formal Complaints Process
Once you submit a complaint through our office, the following steps will apply:
1. Acknowledgement: We will acknowledge your complaint within a reasonable timeframe. This acknowledgement will confirm that we have received your concerns and are beginning our review.
2. Investigation: A senior member of staff will review the details of your complaint. This may include speaking with the technician involved, checking job notes, reviewing photographs, and examining any relevant documentation such as your booking confirmation or invoice.
3. Further Information: If we need more information from you to complete our investigation, we will contact you to request clarification or additional details.
4. Response: Once our investigation is complete, we will send you a clear response explaining our findings, any steps we propose to take, and the reasons for our decision. We will aim to provide this response within a reasonable period, taking into account the complexity of the issue.
Possible Outcomes and Remedies
If we find that our service has fallen short of the standards we aim to deliver, we will consider appropriate remedies. These may include, where suitable:
Returning to re-clean specific areas or items that did not meet the expected standard. Offering a partial or full refund, depending on the circumstances and the extent of the issue. Providing a credit toward future services as a gesture of goodwill. Offering an explanation and, where relevant, amending our procedures or training to prevent similar issues in future.
Any remedy offered will be tailored to the specific facts of your complaint. Our goal is always to resolve matters fairly and proportionately.
Complaints About Damage
If your complaint relates to alleged damage to carpets, upholstery, or other property, please inform us as soon as you become aware of the issue. To help us assess the situation, we may ask for photographs, details of the material or item affected, and information about its age and condition before cleaning.
We may also ask you not to attempt repairs or further cleaning until we have had an opportunity to review the matter. In some cases, we may recommend independent assessment to understand the cause and extent of any damage.
Escalating Your Complaint
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the initial investigation, you may ask for your complaint to be reviewed by a more senior member of the company. In your request, please explain why you are unhappy with the original decision and what outcome you are seeking.
The senior reviewer will reconsider the information originally provided, any new details you have supplied, and our earlier response. They will then issue a final decision on behalf of Carpet Cleaning Queen's Park.
Time Limits and Fair Use of the Procedure
We encourage customers to raise complaints as soon as reasonably possible after the date of service. Reporting concerns promptly allows us to investigate more effectively and to provide appropriate resolutions.
This Complaints Procedure is designed for genuine concerns arising from our carpet and upholstery cleaning services. We reserve the right to decline or close complaints that are found to be vexatious, abusive, or unrelated to our services.
Using Complaints to Improve Our Services
Every complaint we receive is logged and reviewed so that we can identify recurring issues and areas where we may need to improve training, processes, or communication. Your feedback helps us maintain high standards for our customers in Queen's Park and the surrounding area.
By following this Complaints Procedure, we aim to ensure that your concerns are heard, investigated fairly, and addressed in a professional and timely manner.
