This complaints procedure explains how you can raise a concern, how we will respond, and what you can expect from us throughout the process.
Our Commitment to You
We aim to provide a clear, fair and accessible process for handling all complaints. When you raise an issue with us, we will always aim to:
Listen carefully to your concern and understand what has gone wrong from your point of view.
Acknowledge your complaint promptly and clearly.
Investigate the matter thoroughly and impartially.

What Counts as a Complaint
A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our cleaning services, our staff, our communication, or any aspect of your experience with Brent Carpet Cleaning where you would like a response or resolution.
This may include concerns about:
The quality of cleaning or results achieved.
Damage to property during a visit.
Punctuality, conduct or attitude of our operatives.
Accuracy of quotes, invoices or payment issues.
Communication before, during or after your booking.
Health and safety concerns related to our work.
We encourage you to raise any concern as soon as possible so that we can address it quickly and effectively.
How to Make a Complaint
You can make a complaint in writing or verbally, depending on what is easiest for you. When you contact us, please provide as much information as you can to help us understand and investigate your concern. This might include:
Your full name and any reference or booking details.
The date and approximate time of the service.
The address where the service was carried out.
A clear description of what went wrong and what outcome you are seeking.
Any supporting information, such as photos or notes about the issue.
If you raise a concern with a member of staff on site, they will do their best to resolve it immediately. If it cannot be resolved at the time, it will be referred to a manager for further review under this complaints procedure.
Timescales for Handling Complaints
We aim to deal with all complaints as quickly as possible, while still carrying out a thorough and fair investigation. Our usual timescales are as follows:
Initial acknowledgement within a reasonable time after receiving your complaint, confirming that we have received your concern and advising how we will proceed.
Investigation and response as soon as practicable, once we have had the opportunity to review the details, speak with the staff involved, and consider any supporting information.
If for any reason we are not able to provide a full response within our usual time, we will let you know and advise when you can expect a further update.
How We Investigate Complaints
When we receive your complaint, we will assign it to an appropriate person within Brent Carpet Cleaning to oversee the investigation. Depending on the nature of the issue, this may involve:
Reviewing your booking details, work order and any related notes.
Speaking with the operative or team who attended the property.
Examining any photos or evidence that you provide.
Assessing whether our usual standards, procedures or terms of service were followed.
Considering whether there are any training, equipment or communication issues that contributed to the problem.
Once the investigation is complete, we will provide you with a clear explanation of our findings and the steps we will take in response.
Possible Outcomes and Resolutions
Depending on the nature of your complaint and the outcome of our investigation, we may offer one or more of the following, where appropriate:
A clear explanation about what happened and why.
An apology where we have fallen short of our standards.
Additional cleaning or remedial work to correct the issue, where reasonable.
Adjustments to an invoice or other financial remedy, if justified and in line with our terms.
Changes to our internal processes or staff training to help prevent a recurrence.
Our goal is to reach a fair and proportionate outcome that reflects the circumstances of your complaint and the service you received.
If You Are Not Satisfied
If you feel that your complaint has not been fully resolved after our initial response, you may ask for the matter to be reviewed again. When you do so, please explain why you are not satisfied with the outcome or what additional information you believe should be taken into account.
A more senior member of our team will then review the complaint, the investigation carried out, and the response already provided. They may contact you for further information or clarification before confirming the final position of Brent Carpet Cleaning on the matter.
