Deep Cleaning Fulham Complaints Procedure
Deep Cleaning Fulham is committed to delivering reliable, professional deep cleaning services and to resolving any concerns quickly and fairly. This Complaints Procedure explains how you can raise a complaint, how we will handle it, and the standards you can expect from us throughout the process.
Our Commitment to Handling Complaints
We treat every complaint as an opportunity to improve our cleaning services. Whether your concern relates to the standard of cleaning, conduct of staff, timing of appointments, or any aspect of our customer service, we will take it seriously and aim to put things right as soon as possible.
We will handle your complaint in a way that is fair, confidential, and respectful. We aim to respond within clear timescales and keep you informed at every stage.
What Counts as a Complaint
A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our services or our staff, whether justified or not, where you would like a response or resolution. Examples include:
Unsatisfactory quality of a deep clean or regular clean. Damage to property you believe was caused during a visit. Missed appointments or repeated lateness. Behaviour or attitude of cleaning staff or office staff. Billing issues or confusion about agreed pricing and services.
If you are unsure whether your concern is a complaint, please raise it with us and we will treat it appropriately.
Raising a Complaint
You can make a complaint in writing. Providing clear and detailed information helps us to investigate more efficiently.
When submitting a complaint, please include:
Your full name. The date and approximate time of the cleaning service. The address where the service took place. A clear description of what went wrong. Any supporting details, such as photos, invoices, or notes.
If your complaint is time sensitive, please tell us so we can prioritise it where possible.
Stage One: Initial Review and Informal Resolution
At the first stage, we aim to resolve your complaint quickly and informally wherever possible.
On receipt of your complaint we will:
Acknowledge your complaint within a reasonable timeframe. Review the details you have provided. Where appropriate, contact you to clarify any points.
We will then:
Try to resolve the matter within a short period, where an immediate solution is possible. Offer practical remedies where appropriate, which may include arranging a re-clean, addressing staff conduct, or reviewing internal procedures.
If we believe we can resolve your complaint at this stage, we will explain our proposed solution clearly and ensure you understand and agree with the next steps.
Stage Two: Formal Investigation
If your complaint cannot be resolved informally, or if you are not satisfied with the outcome of Stage One, you may request a formal investigation.
During Stage Two we will:
Review all relevant information in detail, including booking records, cleaning checklists, staff reports, and any evidence you provide. Where necessary, speak with the staff members involved. Assess what went wrong, why it happened, and what could have been done differently.
We will then provide a formal written response that includes:
A summary of your complaint. The steps we took to investigate. Our findings and conclusions. Any actions we will take to remedy the issue. Any changes we plan to make to improve our services and avoid similar issues in future.
Timeframes for Responses
We aim to acknowledge your complaint promptly and to handle it as efficiently as possible. While exact timeframes may vary depending on the complexity of the matter, we aim to:
Acknowledge receipt of your complaint within a short period. Resolve straightforward issues at Stage One within a reasonable timeframe. Complete a Stage Two formal investigation within a period appropriate to the complexity of the complaint.
If we need more time to investigate, we will keep you informed, explain the reasons for any delay, and provide an updated timescale.
Possible Outcomes and Remedies
Where we identify that we have not met our usual standards, we will act to put things right. Outcomes may include:
A clear explanation or clarification where there has been a misunderstanding. An apology where we recognise that service has fallen short. Practical steps to remedy issues such as arranging a re-clean where appropriate. Internal staff training or process changes to improve future service. In some cases, a partial or full adjustment to your invoice where justified.
Any remedy will be proportionate to the nature of the complaint and the findings of our investigation.
Your Responsibilities When Making a Complaint
To help us handle your complaint fairly and efficiently, we ask that you:
Provide accurate and complete information. Raise your complaint as soon as reasonably possible after the issue occurs. Communicate with our team in a respectful and constructive manner. Allow us a reasonable opportunity to investigate and resolve the matter.
Confidentiality and Data Protection
All complaints are handled in confidence. Information is only shared with staff who need it to investigate and respond. We will keep records of complaints and outcomes in line with our data protection obligations and use this information to monitor the quality of our deep cleaning and customer service.
Using Complaints to Improve Our Services
Deep Cleaning Fulham reviews complaints regularly to identify any recurring issues or trends. This helps us to improve staff training, cleaning checklists, scheduling, and overall customer experience. Feedback, whether positive or negative, is an essential part of maintaining high standards in professional cleaning.
