We will accept complaints from people who use our apartment clearance and waste removal services, whether the job was a single item uplift or a full flat clearance.

How to make a formal complaint and initial response

Complaints should be made in writing where possible, which allows for accurate records and a clear audit trail. If a complainant is unable to provide written detail, equivalent verbal reports will be accepted and documented. We acknowledge receipt of every formal complaint promptly and will explain the next steps and expected timescales. Timescale example: an acknowledgement will normally be issued within five working days and a full response provided within twenty working days unless further enquiry is required.

Investigation process: On receipt of a complaint the matter will be assigned to an appropriate investigator. The investigator will gather relevant information, which may include job records, photographs, crew notes, third-party reports and any available CCTV or site logs. We will take statements from staff involved when necessary and may request further information from the complainant. Confidentiality will be respected; however, details needed to investigate will be shared with those directly involved in the inquiry.

The stages of handling a complaint typically include:

  • Initial assessment and acknowledgement
  • Detailed investigation with evidence gathering
  • Drafting a findings report and proposed remedies

Outcomes and remedies are determined on the basis of the facts established during investigation. Possible outcomes include, but are not limited to: a formal apology, offering corrective action (for example, re-clearance or remedial work), financial adjustment where appropriate, or confirmation that policy and practice were correctly followed. Decisions will be documented and communicated in writing. If the complaint identifies a service failure, we will outline the action taken to prevent recurrence.

Appeals and escalation: If a complainant is dissatisfied with the outcome, they may ask for an internal review. The internal review will be conducted by a senior manager who was not involved in the original investigation. If the matter remains unresolved after the internal review, the complainant will be advised of any available external review options, such as industry arbitration or ombudsman services relevant to waste removal and clearance providers. These external routes operate independently of our company.
