Finsbury Park Carpet Cleaners is committed to providing reliable and professional carpet, rug, upholstery and floor cleaning services across our local service area. We aim to deliver a high standard of customer care at all times. However, we recognise that occasionally things may not go as planned. This complaints procedure explains how you can raise a concern with us and how we will respond.
Our Commitment To You
We take every complaint seriously and treat it as an opportunity to improve our services. We will always aim to:
Respond to your concerns promptly and politely.
Investigate what happened in a fair and objective way.
Keep you informed about the progress of your complaint.
Put things right where we have made a mistake.
Use feedback to improve our cleaning services and customer experience.
What Is A Complaint
A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our cleaning services, our staff, our communication, or any part of your experience with Finsbury Park Carpet Cleaners, where you would like a response or resolution from us.
Examples of issues that may lead to a complaint include:
Concerns about the quality of carpet, rug, upholstery or floor cleaning.
Damage to property or items during a visit.
Missed or late appointments.
Concerns about staff conduct or behaviour.
Issues with quotes, invoices or payment terms.
Raising An Informal Complaint
We encourage you to raise any concerns as soon as possible so that we can resolve them quickly. In many cases, an issue can be resolved informally at the time of service or shortly afterwards.
You can raise an informal complaint by contacting us and providing:
Your full name.
The date and address of the cleaning visit.
A clear description of the issue.
Any supporting information such as photos of areas of concern.
We will aim to respond informally within a reasonable timeframe, usually within a few working days. If you are not satisfied with the outcome of this initial response, or if the issue is more serious, you can make a formal complaint.
Making A Formal Complaint
If an issue cannot be resolved informally, you may submit a formal complaint. Please do this as soon as possible after the event you are complaining about, so that we can investigate effectively.
When making a formal complaint, please include:
Your name and contact details.
The service address and date of the appointment.
Details of the team or operative who attended, if known.
A detailed description of what went wrong.
What outcome you are seeking, for example a re-clean of an area or review of an invoice.
We will acknowledge receipt of your formal complaint within a reasonable period of time. We may contact you to clarify details or request additional information.
How We Investigate Complaints
Once we receive your formal complaint, we will log it in our internal system and begin an investigation. This may include:
Reviewing booking details and job notes.
Speaking with the cleaning operatives involved.
Reviewing any photographs or other evidence you have provided.
Where appropriate, arranging a visit to inspect the area or items concerned.
Our aim is to complete most investigations within a set timeframe that is reasonable for the complexity of the complaint. If more time is required, we will let you know and explain why.
Our Response And Possible Outcomes
After we have investigated your complaint, we will write to you setting out:
What we have understood from your complaint.
What we have found during our investigation.
Any conclusions we have reached.
Any actions we propose to take.
Possible outcomes may include:
An explanation or clarification of what happened.
An apology, where we have fallen short of our standards.
A re-clean of all or part of the area, where appropriate.
A review or adjustment of charges, where justified.
Changes to our internal processes or staff training.
Escalating Your Complaint
If you are not satisfied with our final response, you may ask for your complaint to be reviewed by a senior member of our management team. They will review the original complaint, the investigation, and the outcome, and may request additional information from you or from our staff.
The reviewing manager will aim to provide a final written decision within a reasonable timeframe. This will normally represent the final stage of our internal complaints procedure.
Time Limits And Evidence
We encourage customers to raise complaints as soon as possible after the service. Reporting issues promptly helps us investigate more effectively, especially for cleaning services where conditions can change quickly after a visit.
Where a complaint relates to alleged damage or unsatisfactory cleaning results, we may ask for photographs or other evidence to support your claim. This helps us assess the situation fairly and determine the most appropriate resolution.
Complaints About Property Damage
If your complaint involves alleged damage to carpets, rugs, upholstery, hard floors, furniture or other items, please notify us as soon as you become aware of the issue. Do not attempt repairs or cleaning of the damaged area before speaking with us, as this may affect our ability to assess the original cause.
We will investigate the circumstances carefully and, where appropriate, may request independent assessment. Any remedies will be considered in line with our terms and conditions and applicable law.
Confidentiality And Data Protection
All complaints will be handled in a confidential manner. Information will only be shared with staff members who need it in order to investigate and resolve the complaint. We will handle your personal data in accordance with our data protection obligations and internal policies.
Using Feedback To Improve Our Service
Feedback and complaints help us review how we operate across our service area and make improvements where needed. We may use anonymous or aggregated information from complaints to refine staff training, cleaning methods, scheduling, customer communication and quality control processes.
By following this complaints procedure, Finsbury Park Carpet Cleaners aims to resolve issues fairly and promptly, while maintaining a professional and reliable cleaning service for all customers.
