Complaints Procedure for Putney House Clearance Services

This Complaints Procedure explains how Putney House Clearance and related rubbish removal teams manage and resolve concerns from clients. It applies to all house clearance Putney activities provided by the company and outlines the expectations for reporting issues, the internal review process and the remedies available. The purpose is to ensure complaints are handled promptly, fairly and transparently while protecting the rights of all parties involved.

The policy covers practical matters such as missed collections, damage during a clearance, disputed charges and unsatisfactory conduct by operatives. It is intended for anyone using Putney clearance services or engaging with our waste removal Putney teams. Complaints should be submitted with sufficient detail to enable an effective investigation; this might include dates, job references, descriptions of the issue and any supporting evidence.

To start the complaints process, submit your concern to our designated complaints channel; ensure you provide a clear description and, where possible, photographs or documentation. The complaints administrator will log the case, assign a unique reference number and confirm receipt within a defined timeframe. We prioritise clarity and a swift acknowledgement so customers know their concern is being taken seriously.

When a complaint is received it will be assessed to determine its category and urgency. Minor service issues such as scheduling or small discrepancies in removal lists will follow an expedited pathway, while allegations of significant property damage or safety breaches will undergo a thorough investigation. All investigations are documented. The investigating officer will gather statements, review job records and consult relevant operatives.

Our standard timescales aim to provide an initial response within 5 to 10 working days, depending on complexity, and a full resolution within 20 working days wherever practicable. If additional time is needed, we will notify the complainant explaining the reasons for delay and an anticipated timeframe. This approach to timelines helps maintain accountability across Putney rubbish removal operations.

During the investigation stage we may propose interim solutions such as re-inspection, remedial work, partial refunds or credit for future house clearance services in Putney. Proposed remedies will be proportionate to the issue identified and made in good faith. Remedies aim to return the affected party to the position they would have been in had the failure not occurred.

All complaints are handled impartially. Staff or operatives directly involved in the matter will not conduct the final review. We keep a central complaints register to identify patterns and implement service improvements. This register is reviewed periodically to strengthen standards across house clearance and rubbish removal services operated in the service area.

Where a complainant is dissatisfied with our proposed resolution, they can request escalation to a senior manager for a further review. The escalation will involve a fresh assessment by a manager who has not been part of the original investigation. Our objective is to ensure independent internal oversight and a fair re-evaluation of the facts.

To promote transparency we may offer the option of mediation or independent adjudication in complex cases. While many complaints are resolved internally, arbitration demonstrates our commitment to impartial outcomes when a mutual agreement cannot otherwise be reached. Escalation pathways are intended to protect both customers and the company.

Outlined below are the main stages of our complaints process in brief form:

• Initial receipt and registration of the complaint
• Preliminary assessment and categorisation
• Investigation and evidence gathering
• Proposed remedy and response
• Escalation if dissatisfied and final review

Confidentiality is maintained throughout the complaints procedure. Information is shared only with those who need it for the purpose of investigation and resolution. Records are held securely and in accordance with data handling policies, ensuring personal details are treated responsibly during any dispute about house clearance Putney work.

If a complaint results in operational or procedural change, we will update internal policies and use lessons learned to improve future Putney clearance services. We track outcomes and monitor for repeat issues so we can make targeted improvements to service delivery, safety practices and staff training. Continuous improvement is a key goal of the complaints framework.
