Reviewing job notes and booking information; Speaking with the cleaners who attended your property; Assessing any photographs or evidence you provide; Where appropriate, arranging a follow-up visit to inspect the areas or items concerned.
We will take into account the nature of the surfaces or fabrics cleaned, any pre-existing conditions or damage reported at the time of service, the cleaning methods and products used, and the expectations agreed prior to the work taking place.

If You Are Not Satisfied with the Outcome
If you feel that your complaint has not been resolved to your satisfaction, you may ask for a further review. In this case, your concerns will be escalated to a more senior member of our team, who will re-examine the details of your complaint, the investigation and the outcome offered.
