Complaints Procedure for Carpet Cleaning Kingston
Carpet Cleaning Kingston is committed to providing reliable, professional and courteous cleaning services to all customers. We recognise that, on occasion, things may not go as planned. This Complaints Procedure explains how you can raise a concern about our services, how we will respond, and what you can expect from us throughout the process.
Scope and Purpose of This Procedure
This procedure applies to all customers who have used Carpet Cleaning Kingston for domestic or commercial carpet, rug, upholstery or related cleaning services. Its purpose is to provide a clear, fair and transparent process for handling complaints, ensuring that any issues are addressed promptly and used to improve our service quality.
A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about the standard of work, conduct of staff, communication, pricing clarity, or any other aspect of the service you have received from us.
Raising a Complaint
We encourage customers to raise any concerns as soon as possible after the service has been carried out. Early notification allows us to investigate more effectively and, where appropriate, to correct problems quickly.
You may raise a complaint by contacting us in writing or by speaking with a member of our team. When submitting your complaint, please include the following information so we can deal with it efficiently:
The date and address where the cleaning service took place
A clear description of the issue or concern
Any relevant dates and times
Names of any staff members involved, if known
Any supporting information that may help us understand the problem, such as photographs or written notes
Initial Resolution at Service Visit
If you are present at the property while our technicians are working, we recommend raising any immediate concerns directly with them before they leave. In many cases, issues such as missed areas or additional spot cleaning can be resolved on the spot.
If a satisfactory solution cannot be reached during the visit, or if the concern arises after the team has left, the matter will be handled under this formal Complaints Procedure.
Acknowledgement of Your Complaint
Once we have received your complaint, we will record it in our internal system. We aim to acknowledge all complaints within a reasonable period of time. The acknowledgement will confirm that we have received your complaint and will outline the next steps in the process.
Investigation Process
Every complaint is taken seriously and investigated by an appropriate member of the Carpet Cleaning Kingston management team. The investigation may involve:
Reviewing the original booking details and service notes
Speaking with the technicians who attended the property
Assessing any photographs or evidence you have provided
Where necessary, arranging a follow-up visit to inspect the work completed
We will aim to complete our investigation within a reasonable timeframe, taking into account the nature and complexity of the complaint.
Outcomes and Resolution
Once the investigation is complete, we will contact you with our findings and proposed resolution. Depending on the circumstances, possible outcomes may include:
A clear explanation of what happened and why
Further cleaning work or a re-visit to rectify identified issues, where appropriate and feasible
Guidance on aftercare where the issue relates to maintenance or wear
Where applicable, a partial or full refund or other gesture of goodwill, in line with our policies and at our discretion
Our aim is always to resolve complaints in a way that is fair, proportionate and respectful to both the customer and our staff.
If You Are Not Satisfied With the Outcome
If you do not agree with the outcome of your complaint, you may request that the decision be reviewed by a more senior member of the management team. In doing so, please clearly explain which aspects of the investigation or outcome you disagree with and provide any additional information you feel is relevant.
The review will consider the original investigation, your comments, and any new evidence. After this review, we will provide a final response. This will normally be the last stage of our internal complaints process.
Time Limits for Raising Complaints
To allow us to respond effectively, we ask that complaints be raised as soon as reasonably possible and ideally within a short time of the service being carried out. Complaints made after a significant delay may be more difficult to investigate thoroughly, particularly where additional wear, subsequent cleaning or changes at the property may have affected the condition of carpets or furnishings.
Conduct and Fair Treatment
We expect our staff to treat all customers with courtesy and respect at all times, and we ask customers to treat our staff in the same way. Abusive, threatening or discriminatory behaviour will not be tolerated and may result in us discontinuing communication or, in serious cases, refusing future services.
Using Feedback to Improve Our Services
All complaints and feedback received by Carpet Cleaning Kingston are logged and periodically reviewed to identify any recurring issues and opportunities for improvement. This may include additional staff training, changes to our cleaning methods, adjustments to our booking processes, or updates to our customer communication materials.
By following this Complaints Procedure, we aim to ensure that every concern is taken seriously, investigated fairly and used to help us continually improve our carpet and upholstery cleaning services in the local area.
Review of This Complaints Procedure
This Complaints Procedure is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains clear, effective and in line with good practice. We may update it from time to time, and any revisions will apply to complaints raised after the updated version is published.
If you have any questions about this procedure or would like clarification on any of the steps, you may contact our team, who will be happy to explain how it works in more detail.
