Where possible, we encourage customers to raise concerns informally in the first instance. Many issues can be resolved quickly by discussing them with the cleaner on site or with our office team shortly after the visit. If you are not satisfied with the outcome of an informal discussion, or if you prefer not to raise your concern in this way, you may submit a formal complaint as set out below.

To help us respond promptly, we recommend making your complaint as soon as possible after the service, and normally within 14 days.

Acknowledging Your Complaint

Once we receive your complaint, we will acknowledge it in writing. Our aim is to confirm receipt and provide an initial response timeframe within three working days. If we need further information to understand the issue, we will request it at this stage.

The issues you raised

Depending on the circumstances, possible resolutions may include:

A clear explanation or apology

All remedies are considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the nature of the complaint, the condition of the property, and the services originally agreed.

If You Are Not Satisfied with the Outcome

If you remain unhappy after receiving our written outcome, you may request a further review. In your request, please explain why you are dissatisfied and what you believe would be a fair resolution. A different member of our senior team will review the original investigation and response. We will aim to complete this review and provide a final written decision within 10 working days of your request.
