Quality of carpet, rug or upholstery cleaning services provided.

Conduct or behaviour of our cleaning technicians or office staff.

Damage to property or belongings allegedly caused during our visit.

Scheduling, attendance, punctuality or missed appointments.

How to Make a Complaint

You can raise a complaint using any of the following methods:

Speak directly to the cleaning technician at the time of service if it is safe and appropriate to do so.

Contact our office to explain the issue, providing as much detail as possible.

Put your complaint in writing to help us understand the situation clearly.

When making a complaint, please provide the following information where possible:

Your full name and the address where the service took place.

The date and approximate time of the service.

A clear description of what has gone wrong and how it has affected you.

Any supporting information such as photographs, notes, or reference numbers.

Your preferred outcome or what you would consider a fair resolution.

Time Limits for Raising a Complaint

We encourage you to raise any concerns as soon as you become aware of an issue, ideally within 48 hours of the service. This helps us investigate effectively and, where necessary, re-inspect the work while conditions remain similar.

For concerns about damage to items or property, please notify us as soon as possible after discovering the issue. Delay in reporting may affect our ability to assess the situation fairly.

How We Will Handle Your Complaint

We aim to handle complaints in a consistent and timely way. Our general process is:

Acknowledgement: We will acknowledge your complaint as soon as reasonably possible. If you raised it by phone, we may provide verbal acknowledgement immediately. For written complaints, we aim to confirm receipt within a reasonable timeframe.

Initial Assessment: We will review the information provided and may contact you for clarification or additional details. If appropriate, we may also speak to the technician who attended your property.

Investigation: We may arrange a follow-up visit to inspect the work or the area of concern. Where a visit is needed, we will agree a suitable time with you. We may also review job notes, checklists and any photographs taken by our team.

Response and Outcome: Once we have completed our investigation, we will explain our findings and proposed outcome. We aim to provide a clear response within a reasonable period, depending on the complexity of the issue.

Possible Outcomes and Resolutions

Every complaint is considered on its individual circumstances. Depending on the situation and findings, possible outcomes may include:

A clear explanation or further information about the work carried out.

A partial or full re-clean of the affected areas where appropriate.

Advice on maintenance, drying times, or expected results where limitations exist.

An apology where we have fallen short of our usual standards.

In some cases, another form of goodwill gesture, where appropriate.

Where damage is alleged, we will review each case carefully and, where necessary, may seek further professional assessment before confirming any outcome.

If You Are Not Satisfied With the Outcome

If you are unhappy with our initial response, you may request that your complaint be reviewed by a senior member of the team. Please explain why you remain dissatisfied and what you feel would be a fair resolution.

The senior review will consider all information already gathered and any additional details you provide. We will then confirm our final position and any further steps we are able to take.

Our Responsibilities and Your Cooperation

We will handle your complaint professionally, but we also ask for your cooperation to help us resolve matters effectively. This includes:

Providing accurate information and describing events as clearly as possible.

Allowing reasonable access for inspections or follow-up visits where needed.

Treating our staff with courtesy and respect throughout the process.

We reserve the right to decline unreasonable, abusive, or repeated complaints that have already been fully considered and answered, but this would only occur in exceptional circumstances.

Confidentiality and Data Protection

All complaints are handled in confidence and only shared with staff who need the information to investigate and respond. Any personal information you provide will be handled in line with our data protection responsibilities and used only for the purpose of addressing your complaint and improving our services.
