Our Commitment to You

We take all complaints seriously and see them as an opportunity to improve our services. Whether your concern relates to the quality of cleaning, punctuality, conduct of staff, or any other aspect of our work, we will investigate it carefully and aim to reach a satisfactory resolution as soon as possible.

We aim to:

Respond to all complaints promptly, usually within a few working days
Listen carefully to your concerns and understand the outcome you are seeking
Investigate complaints thoroughly and objectively
Keep you updated throughout the process
Provide a clear written response with our findings and any proposed resolution

How to Make a Complaint

You can raise a complaint about any service provided by Carpet Cleaning W1S. To help us deal with your issue efficiently, please provide as much detail as possible, including the date of the service, the property location within our service area, and a clear description of the problem.

You can make a complaint in the following ways:

Verbally, to the cleaning technician while they are on site
Verbally, to a supervisor or manager
In writing, describing what happened and when, and what you would like us to do to put things right

If you raise a complaint verbally during or immediately after the visit, we will try to resolve it on the spot where possible. For more complex issues, we may need to investigate further and follow the steps outlined below.

Information We May Ask For

To properly investigate your complaint, we may need some or all of the following information:

Your full name and property address
The date and approximate time of the cleaning appointment
Details of the service you booked, such as carpet, rug, or upholstery cleaning
A clear description of the issue you experienced
Any photos or evidence of the problem, if relevant
Details of any conversations already held with our team about the matter

Providing this information as early as possible helps us reach a fair outcome more quickly.

Stage One: Initial Review and Acknowledgement

Once we receive your complaint, we will log the details and review the information you have provided. Where possible, we will acknowledge your complaint within a reasonable time frame and confirm how we intend to investigate it.

At this stage, we may contact you to clarify any points and to understand what outcome you hope to achieve. In many situations, especially straightforward issues with a recent cleaning visit, we may be able to agree a resolution at this stage.

Stage Two: Investigation of Your Complaint

If your complaint cannot be resolved immediately, it will be escalated for further investigation. Depending on the nature of the issue, this may involve:

Speaking with the cleaning operatives who attended your property
Reviewing job notes and service checklists
Inspecting any photos or evidence you have provided
Arranging a return visit to inspect the carpets or upholstery, where appropriate

We will aim to complete the investigation within a reasonable time. If additional time is needed, we will let you know and keep you updated on progress.

Stage Three: Response and Outcome

After the investigation, we will provide a clear response setting out:

A summary of your complaint
The steps we took to investigate
Our findings and conclusions
Any corrective action we propose to take

Depending on the circumstances, possible outcomes may include:

A repeat or partial repeat of the cleaning service
Practical advice on aftercare or further treatment
An explanation where we do not agree that the service was below an acceptable standard
Other reasonable remedies that may be appropriate in the circumstances

We will always explain the reasons behind our conclusions and the basis for any decision.

Escalating Your Complaint

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint at Stage Three, you may ask for the matter to be reviewed again. In such cases, a senior member of our team, who has not been directly involved in the initial investigation, will reassess the complaint and the steps already taken.

The review may involve revisiting evidence, making further enquiries, or arranging another inspection, where this is practical. We will then provide a final written response, setting out our decision and any further actions we are prepared to take.

Timescales for Complaints

It is helpful if you raise any concerns about carpet or upholstery cleaning as soon as reasonably possible after the work has been carried out. This allows us to inspect the area while conditions are still similar to those on the day of the service and to put things right promptly if required.

We will always aim to handle complaints within reasonable timescales. If there is a delay for any reason, we will keep you informed and explain the reasons.

Fairness, Respect, and Professionalism

Throughout the complaints process, we expect both our team and our customers to communicate respectfully and calmly. Our staff will treat you courteously, listen carefully, and act professionally at all times, and we ask that you engage with us in the same spirit.

Carpet Cleaning W1S values feedback from customers across our service area, including both one-off and regular clients. Your comments help us maintain and improve our standards and ensure that our carpet cleaning services remain reliable, consistent, and customer focused.

Continuous Improvement

We regularly review complaints and feedback to identify patterns, improve staff training, and refine our cleaning processes and customer care. By following this complaints procedure, we aim not only to resolve individual issues, but also to reduce the likelihood of similar concerns arising in the future.

This complaints procedure applies to all customers of Carpet Cleaning W1S and to all carpet, rug, and upholstery cleaning services we provide within our operating area.
