We aim to deliver high standards across all carpet, rug, upholstery and related cleaning work. If something goes wrong, we want to know about it so that we can put matters right where possible and improve our service for the future.

Every complaint is taken seriously and handled with respect, discretion and without discrimination. Raising a complaint will never affect your right to use our services again.

What This Procedure Covers

This complaints procedure applies to all domestic and commercial customers using Carpet Cleaning Westminster for cleaning services within our operating area. It covers issues such as the quality of the cleaning, damage or loss, punctuality, conduct of cleaners, communication and administration errors, and any other concerns about the standard of our service.

This procedure does not cover disputes that are already the subject of legal action or matters that relate to third party services not provided by us.

How to Make a Complaint

You can raise a complaint in the way that is most convenient for you. You may contact us by phone, by written letter, or by using any contact form provided on our official website. When submitting a complaint, please provide as much information as possible so that we can investigate thoroughly.

To help us deal with your complaint effectively, please include:

The date and approximate time of the service, the address where the cleaning was carried out, the name on the booking, a clear description of the issue, any steps that have already been taken to resolve it, and any supporting information such as photographs or written notes.

Time Limits for Raising a Complaint

We encourage customers to raise concerns as soon as possible after the service has taken place. This allows us to investigate while the details are still fresh and, where appropriate, arrange an inspection or remedial visit.

For issues related to service quality, please contact us within 48 hours of the work being completed wherever reasonably possible. For matters involving alleged damage, please report this as soon as it is noticed so we can assess the circumstances.

How We Will Handle Your Complaint

Upon receiving your complaint, we will log it in our internal records and assign it to an appropriate member of our team for review. We aim to acknowledge complaints promptly and to keep you updated throughout the process.

Our usual stages are as follows:

First, initial acknowledgment. We will acknowledge your complaint and may request further information if needed for clarity. Second, investigation. We will review the details, speak with the cleaners involved, and examine any relevant documentation or photographs. Third, response. We will provide you with a written or verbal response outlining our findings, any responsibility we accept, and the steps we propose to resolve the matter.

Timescales for Response

We aim to provide an initial acknowledgment of your complaint within a reasonable period during normal working days. Our target is to complete most investigations and provide a full response within 14 days, although more complex cases may require additional time.

If we need more time, we will let you know, explain the reason for the delay and provide an estimated timescale for our final response.

Possible Outcomes and Remedies

Once we have completed our investigation, we will explain our findings in clear language and inform you of the outcome. Depending on the circumstances, possible remedies may include a repeat or corrective clean, a partial or full refund where appropriate, a gesture of goodwill, or an explanation of why we are unable to uphold the complaint.

Any remedy offered is at the discretion of Carpet Cleaning Westminster, taking into account the evidence available, the terms and conditions of service and what is reasonable in the circumstances.

Escalating Your Complaint

If you are not satisfied with the initial outcome, you may ask for the complaint to be reviewed by a more senior member of our team. When requesting an escalation, please explain why you disagree with the original decision and provide any additional information you feel is relevant.

The senior review will consider the initial investigation, the response given, and any new information you supply. We will then provide you with a final response setting out our position.

Fair Treatment and Confidentiality

Your complaint will be handled impartially. We will listen to your concerns, consider the evidence from all parties and aim to reach a fair and balanced decision. We will never refuse service in the future purely because you have made a complaint in good faith.

All complaint information is stored securely and used only for the purpose of investigating and resolving the issue, training staff and improving our carpet and upholstery cleaning services. We will share your information only where it is necessary for handling the complaint or where we are legally required to do so.
