This complaints procedure explains how customers of our carpet cleaning services in Haringey can raise concerns, how we handle and investigate them, and what outcomes you can expect. Our aim is to resolve any problems quickly, fairly, and professionally, while continuously improving our domestic and commercial cleaning services.

Our Commitment to You

We are committed to delivering a reliable, high quality carpet and upholstery cleaning service throughout Haringey and surrounding areas. If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of our work or customer care, we want to hear from you. Complaints are taken seriously and are treated as an opportunity to review and improve our standards.

We will always aim to:

Investigate the matter thoroughly and impartially.

Provide a clear explanation of our findings and any next steps.

Put things right where we have made a mistake, wherever reasonably possible.

What This Procedure Covers

This procedure applies to complaints about our carpet, rug, upholstery and related cleaning services, including:

Quality of cleaning or results achieved.

Conduct, behaviour or professionalism of our cleaning technicians.

Damage or suspected damage to carpets, flooring, furnishings or property.

Scheduling, punctuality, access or communication issues.

Pricing, invoicing or clarity of information provided.

If your concern relates to something not listed above but still connected to our services in Haringey, we will handle it under this procedure wherever appropriate.

How to Make a Complaint

You can raise a complaint verbally or in writing. While we are happy to discuss issues by phone or in person, we recommend submitting your complaint in writing where possible so that we have a clear record of the details.

When making a complaint, please provide as much information as you can, including:

Your full name and preferred contact details.

The address where the cleaning service took place.

The date and approximate time of the appointment.

A clear description of what went wrong or why you are dissatisfied.

Any supporting information you feel is relevant, such as photographs of the area cleaned, written notes, or names of staff you dealt with.

This information helps us understand the situation fully and respond efficiently.

Time Limits for Raising a Complaint

To help us investigate effectively, we ask that you raise any concerns as soon as possible after the service. Visible issues with carpet cleaning results are usually best reported within 48 hours of the visit, where practical. Problems that appear later, such as reoccurring stains or odours, should be reported as soon as they become apparent.

We will still consider complaints raised after this period, but our ability to assess the situation and offer certain remedies may be limited by the time that has passed.

How We Handle Your Complaint

Once we receive your complaint, we will follow these steps:

Acknowledgement: We aim to acknowledge your complaint promptly. Where you have contacted us in writing, we will confirm that we have received your complaint and explain the next steps.

Initial Review: We will review the information you have provided, along with our records of the booking, the work carried out, and any communication that took place at the time.

Investigation: Depending on the nature of the complaint, we may speak to the cleaning technician who attended, review any notes or job reports, and ask you for further information or photographs. In some cases, we may propose a follow-up visit to inspect the carpet or area in person.

Decision and Response: After reviewing all relevant information, we will provide you with a clear response. This will explain our findings, whether we accept or partially accept your complaint, and what we can do to resolve the issue where appropriate.

Possible Outcomes and Remedies

If our investigation shows that we have not met our usual standards, we will aim to put things right in a reasonable and practical way. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

Offering a complimentary re-clean of the affected area where this is likely to resolve the problem.

Providing a partial or full refund where a re-clean would not be appropriate or effective.

Offering an alternative remedy or goodwill gesture that is fair in the circumstances.

Where damage is alleged, we will assess the situation carefully and consider any evidence available. Any settlement or compensation will be handled in line with our terms and conditions and any applicable insurance arrangements.

Situations Outside Our Control

There are circumstances where we may not be able to accept responsibility for an issue. Examples include:

Pre-existing damage to carpets, flooring or upholstery that was present before our visit.

Wear, fading or staining that cannot be removed by professional cleaning methods.

Issues arising from incorrect aftercare, such as walking on damp carpets with dirty shoes or moving furniture back before the carpet is fully dry.

Problems caused by factors outside our control, such as water leaks, flooding or other external events occurring after the clean.

In these cases, we will explain our reasoning clearly and provide advice where we can to help prevent future issues.

Escalating Your Complaint

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint or how it has been handled, you may ask for it to be reviewed by a more senior member of our team. They will reconsider the information, including any new details you wish to provide, and issue a final response.

We encourage you to use this internal escalation process so that we have every opportunity to resolve matters directly with you.

Confidentiality and Data Protection

All complaints are handled in confidence. Information you provide will only be shared with staff who need it to investigate and resolve the issue. We will store and process your details in line with our data protection responsibilities and will not share your information with third parties except where required by law or with your explicit consent.

Continuous Improvement

We regularly review the complaints we receive to identify patterns, training needs and opportunities to improve our carpet cleaning service throughout Haringey. Your feedback, whether positive or negative, helps us maintain high standards and deliver a better experience to all customers.

By using this complaints procedure, you can be confident that your concerns will be taken seriously, investigated fairly and addressed in a timely and professional manner.
