We value all feedback, including complaints, as it helps us improve our standards and customer experience. This complaints procedure explains how you can raise a concern about our services and how we will respond.

Our Commitment to You

We aim to handle all complaints fairly, promptly, and consistently. Every complaint is taken seriously and will be investigated thoroughly. We will always treat you with respect, keep you informed throughout the process, and work towards a practical and reasonable resolution.

We will use the information from complaints to identify any recurring issues and to improve our cleaning processes, staff training, and customer care across the areas we serve.

What This Procedure Covers

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

Quality of cleaning work carried out at your home or premises

Conduct, attitude, or professionalism of our cleaning staff or representatives

Damage to property alleged to have been caused during our visit

Delays, missed appointments, or scheduling issues related to our service

Communication problems, such as unclear information or unreturned messages

This procedure does not cover general enquiries, booking requests, or routine feedback, which should be raised using our usual contact methods.

How to Make a Complaint

You should raise a complaint as soon as possible after the issue occurs, so that we can investigate while details are clear. Please provide as much information as you can to help us understand what happened.

You can submit your complaint by contacting our customer care team using your usual method of contact with Holland Park Carpet Cleaners. When making your complaint, please include where possible:

Your full name and the address where the service took place

The date and approximate time of the appointment

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

Any relevant photographs or supporting information

Details of any discussions already held with our staff about the issue

Your preferred outcome, if you have one in mind

Stage One: Initial Review and Acknowledgement

Once we receive your complaint, we will log it in our internal system and allocate it to a suitable member of the team for review. We aim to acknowledge all complaints within a reasonable period of receipt.

At this stage, we may contact you to clarify any points or request further information. This helps ensure we fully understand your concerns before proceeding with our investigation.

Stage Two: Investigation

We will carry out a fair and proportionate investigation into the issues you have raised. Depending on the nature of the complaint, this may include:

Speaking with the cleaning technician or team who attended your property

Reviewing appointment records, job notes, and any relevant internal communications

Examining any photographs or evidence you have supplied

Considering whether our policies and procedures were followed correctly

We aim to complete this investigation promptly. If the matter is complex and we anticipate a delay, we will keep you informed and provide an updated timescale.

Stage Three: Our Response and Proposed Resolution

After we have completed our investigation, we will provide you with a response outlining:

Our understanding of the complaint and the key issues raised

The steps we took to investigate the matter

Our findings and whether we uphold or partially uphold your complaint

Any actions we propose to resolve or address the issue

Where appropriate, possible resolutions may include:

Offering to re-clean the affected areas

Providing a partial or full adjustment to the service charge where justified

Taking corrective action with staff, including additional training

Reviewing and improving our internal procedures to prevent recurrence

If You Are Not Satisfied with the Outcome

If you are unhappy with our initial response, you may ask for your complaint to be reviewed again. In this case, your complaint will be reconsidered by a senior member of staff not directly involved in the original investigation, where possible.

During this review, we will reassess the information available and any new details you wish to provide. We will then issue a further response, explaining whether we are able to change the outcome or uphold our original decision.

Timescales

We aim to handle all complaints as quickly as reasonably possible. While exact timescales can vary depending on the complexity of the matter, our general targets are:

Prompt acknowledgement of your complaint after we receive it

Completion of the initial investigation and response within a reasonable period

Notification of any delays, together with an updated expected timescale

We will always aim to keep you updated if our investigation takes longer than originally anticipated.

Confidentiality and Data Protection

All complaints are handled in confidence and in line with relevant data protection requirements. Information you provide will be used only for the purpose of investigating and resolving your complaint, improving our services, and meeting our legal and regulatory responsibilities. We will not share your personal information with third parties except where required by law.

Continuous Improvement

Holland Park Carpet Cleaners is committed to ongoing improvement in the quality of our cleaning services and customer experience across our operating areas. We regularly review complaint trends and feedback to identify where our processes, training, or communication can be strengthened. By raising a complaint, you help us maintain and improve the standards we offer to all customers.

If you have any concerns about our carpet or upholstery cleaning services, we encourage you to use this complaints procedure so that we have the opportunity to put things right.
