This complaints procedure explains how Carpet Cleaning Pimlico manages and resolves concerns about our carpet, upholstery and related cleaning services. Our aim is to deal with every complaint promptly, fairly and consistently, ensuring customers in our service area feel confident that any issues will be taken seriously and addressed properly.

Our Commitment to You

We are committed to providing high quality cleaning services and professional customer care. When something goes wrong, we view it as an opportunity to review what happened, put matters right where possible, and improve our processes to reduce the risk of similar issues in the future.

We will always aim to:

Listen carefully to your concerns and treat you with respect and courtesy at all times.

Acknowledge and record your complaint clearly and accurately.

Investigate what happened in a fair and objective way.

Keep you informed about progress and expected timescales.

Offer an appropriate response, explanation or solution wherever reasonably possible.

What This Procedure Covers

This procedure relates to complaints about our professional conduct, the standard of cleaning work carried out, our communications and appointments, and any other aspect of the customer experience directly linked to Carpet Cleaning Pimlico services.

It does not cover general enquiries, booking requests, or feedback that does not involve dissatisfaction. These should be raised through our usual customer contact and booking channels.

How to Raise a Complaint

If you are unhappy with any part of our service, we encourage you to tell us as soon as possible so we can address the matter promptly. In many cases, issues can be resolved quickly and informally.

You can raise a complaint by contacting us through our usual customer communication channels and clearly stating that you wish to make a complaint. To help us investigate thoroughly and efficiently, please provide:

Your full name and preferred contact details.

The date the service took place, and the address where the work was carried out.

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

Any relevant information or supporting details, such as photos of the affected area, if available.

Stage One: Initial Review and Response

Once we receive your complaint, we will log it in our internal system and begin an initial review.

Acknowledgement: We will acknowledge your complaint within a reasonable timeframe. Where possible, we will also confirm who will be dealing with it and how you can contact them.

Clarification: If we need more information to understand what has happened, we may contact you to ask further questions or request additional details.

Informal Resolution: Many concerns can be resolved quickly at this stage, for example by arranging a re-clean of an area, providing further explanation of the work carried out, or agreeing a practical solution with you.

Stage Two: Detailed Investigation

If your complaint cannot be resolved informally, or if you remain dissatisfied after the initial response, we will carry out a more detailed investigation.

Review of Records: We may review booking details, technician notes, job sheets, photographs taken before or after the clean, and any previous communication with you relating to the service.

Discussions with Staff: Where appropriate, we may speak with the technician or team member who attended your property to establish what happened and clarify any technical aspects of the work.

Site Visit: In some cases, we may propose a follow up visit to inspect the carpets or upholstery in person. This helps us to assess the current condition, consider any limitations of the original job, and explore what corrective action may be suitable.

Outcome: After completing the investigation, we will provide you with a clear response. This may include an explanation of our findings, any steps we propose to put matters right, and any relevant information on what can and cannot be achieved with professional cleaning in your specific circumstances.

Possible Resolutions

Every complaint is considered on its own facts. Possible outcomes may include:

An apology and explanation of what went wrong.

A re-clean or further treatment of part or all of the affected area where appropriate and practical.

Advice on ongoing care and maintenance to help prevent similar issues.

Feedback and training actions for our staff where we identify areas for improvement.

In some situations, it may not be possible to provide the outcome requested, for example where there are permanent stains, pre existing damage, wear, or limitations of the materials to be cleaned. In such cases, we will explain our reasoning and the technical factors involved as clearly as possible.

Timeframes

We aim to resolve most complaints as quickly as is reasonably possible, taking into account the complexity of the issue and the need for any site visits or technical assessment.

If we anticipate that our investigation will take longer than normal, we will let you know and provide an indication of when you can expect a further update or a final response.

Your Responsibilities

We ask that customers raising a complaint:

Provide accurate and complete information about the issue.

Allow reasonable access to the property if a follow up visit is required.

Communicate with our team in a respectful manner.

Cooperate with any reasonable steps we propose to investigate and resolve the matter.

Continuous Improvement

All complaints and significant concerns are reviewed to identify any recurring themes or areas where our processes, communication or training can be improved. We use this information to refine our services and maintain a high standard of carpet and upholstery cleaning for customers in our operating area.

Policy Review

This complaints procedure is reviewed periodically to ensure it remains clear, fair, and in line with our commitment to professional service. Updated versions will replace previous versions and will apply to all new complaints from the date of publication.
