Complaints Procedure for Deep Cleaning Camden

Deep Cleaning Camden aims to provide a professional, reliable and high quality deep cleaning service for all customers. We recognise that, on occasion, things may go wrong or fall short of expectations. This complaints procedure explains how you can raise a concern, how we will respond, and what you can expect from us at each stage.

Our Commitment to Handling Complaints

We treat all complaints seriously and use them to improve our domestic and commercial deep cleaning services. When you contact us with a complaint, we will handle it promptly, fairly and confidentially. We aim to resolve concerns as quickly as possible and to keep you informed throughout the process.

This procedure applies to all customers who use our deep cleaning, end of tenancy cleaning, after builders cleaning, and related services within our usual service areas.

What Is a Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our cleaning services, staff, communication, pricing clarity, or any aspect of the service we provide, whether the issue is minor or serious. You do not need to use the word complaint for this procedure to apply; if you are unhappy and want us to put something right, it is treated as a complaint.

How to Make a Complaint

You can make a complaint in writing or verbally. Written complaints allow us to keep a clear record of your concerns, but we will accept complaints made in any reasonable way.

When you submit a complaint, please provide as much information as possible, including:

The date of the clean and, if known, the time slot
The type of service booked, for example deep clean, end of tenancy clean, or one off clean
A brief description of the issue and how it affected you
The property location and any relevant booking reference
What you would like us to do to resolve the matter

This information helps us investigate quickly and respond more effectively.

Stage One: Initial Resolution

In many cases, issues can be resolved quickly at an early stage. If you raise a concern during or immediately after a clean, we encourage you to speak to us as soon as possible so that we have the opportunity to put things right.

Once we receive your complaint, we will:

Acknowledge your complaint and confirm that it is being investigated
Review any booking notes, cleaning checklists, and staff feedback
Where appropriate, ask you for photographs or further details to clarify the issue
Seek to provide a practical and fair solution

We aim to respond in full to complaints at this first stage within ten working days. If we need longer due to the complexity of the matter, we will let you know and give an updated timeframe.

Possible Outcomes and Remedies

Depending on the nature of the complaint and the outcome of our investigation, we may offer one or more of the following remedies where appropriate:

An explanation of what went wrong and why
A sincere apology for any inconvenience or dissatisfaction
A return visit to reclean specific areas that did not meet agreed standards
A partial or, in rare cases, full refund where justified
Changes to our processes or staff training to prevent a similar issue in future

We will always seek to align the remedy with the specific circumstances of your complaint and with the evidence available.

Stage Two: Escalation of Your Complaint

If you are not satisfied with the response you receive at Stage One, you may request that your complaint is reviewed at a more senior level. Please clearly state that you wish to escalate your complaint and set out why you are unhappy with the initial outcome.

Upon escalation, we will:

Arrange for a manager who was not directly involved in the original decision to review your complaint
Reassess all relevant information, including any additional details you provide
Consider whether our first response was reasonable and fair
Provide a further written response setting out our final position

We aim to complete this review and respond within ten to fifteen working days. If further time is required, we will inform you and explain the reason for the delay.

Confidentiality and Data Protection

All complaints are handled in confidence. Information about your complaint will only be shared with staff who need it to investigate and resolve the matter. Any personal data you provide will be managed in line with our data protection responsibilities and used solely for handling your feedback or complaint.

Fair Treatment of Staff and Customers

We are committed to treating both customers and staff fairly and respectfully throughout the complaints process. We understand that complaints may be raised in stressful situations, but we expect all parties to communicate in a polite and reasonable manner. We may decide to limit or end communication if behaviour becomes abusive, threatening or discriminatory.

Using Complaints to Improve Our Services

We regularly review complaints and feedback to identify patterns and opportunities for improvement. This may include updating checklists for deep cleans, improving scheduling and communication, or providing additional training for our cleaners. By following this procedure, we aim not only to resolve individual issues but also to raise overall service standards for all customers.

Time Limits for Raising a Complaint

To help us investigate effectively, we ask that complaints are raised as soon as reasonably possible, ideally within seven days of the service taking place. Complaints made long after the event may be more difficult to review thoroughly, but we will still consider them where we can.

Monitoring and Review of This Procedure

This complaints procedure is reviewed periodically to ensure it remains clear, fair and effective. We may update it from time to time to reflect changes in our services, internal policies or wider best practice within the cleaning industry. The version published here is the most current and applies to all new and ongoing complaints.

If you have any concerns about our deep cleaning or related services, please use this procedure to let us know. Your feedback helps us maintain and improve the quality of service we offer to customers in our operating areas.
