Raising a Complaint

You can register a complaint in writing or via the channel provided when you contracted our commercial waste removal Earls Court services. When making a formal complaint please include: account or contract reference, service address, date and time of the issue, details of the problem and any supporting evidence such as photographs or job numbers. Early precision helps expedite investigation and resolution.

On receipt, complaints are recorded in our central complaints log and allocated a unique reference number. This ensures traceability and that all steps taken are auditable. Records include the complainant's details, the nature of the complaint, the dates of key actions and the outcome. We retain these records in accordance with our data retention policy and applicable regulatory requirements.

Initial Acknowledgement and Timescales

We will acknowledge receipt of a complaint within three working days. Within this acknowledgement we will provide the complaint reference, the name of the person handling the complaint and an expected timeframe for investigation. Please note that complex issues involving third parties or hazardous materials may require longer to investigate thoroughly.

Our goal for resolution is within 10 to 20 working days for most complaints related to commercial refuse services near Earls Court. If we cannot resolve the matter within that period we will inform you of the reasons for delay and provide a revised date for response. Throughout, we strive for clear communication and realistic commitments.

Investigation involves reviewing service records, driver logs, CCTV where available, waste transfer documentation, and any photographs or evidence provided by the customer. We may consult subcontractors or waste contractors involved in the service delivery. Where necessary, we will arrange an on-site inspection to determine the cause and appropriate remedy.

Possible Outcomes can include: an apology, corrective action such as a re-collection or extra service, agreed service credits, or remedial work to repair or replace damaged property. Any outcomes are proportionate to the issue and consistent with our contractual terms and legal obligations. Where fault is shared, we will explain the reasons and proposed shared remedies.

We emphasise continuous improvement. All substantiated complaints feed into an internal review process so that repeated issues can be addressed via training, procedural changes or operational adjustments. This helps ensure higher standards for future business waste removal Earls Court contracts.

Escalation If you are not satisfied with the response, complaints can be escalated internally to a senior manager or the designated complaints reviewer. The escalation stage will involve a fresh review by a senior staff member not involved in the initial decision, who will re-assess the evidence and recommend a final internal outcome.

For unresolved disputes, customers are advised of their right to pursue independent review where applicable. This may include mediation, arbitration, or referral to an appropriate independent body or regulator for commercial waste services. We will provide details of the available review mechanisms and explain the scope and limits of any independent process.

Appeals and Further Action At appeal stage, both parties may be asked to provide further documentation or to participate in a facilitated discussion. Outcomes at this stage are recorded and constitute the final internal position. If the matter proceeds to independent arbitration, we will cooperate fully with the appointed third party and implement any binding decisions as required.

We take confidentiality seriously. Information provided during the complaints process will be used solely for the purpose of investigating and resolving the complaint, subject to legal or regulatory obligations. Personal data is handled in line with privacy commitments and only disclosed to third parties where necessary for investigation or where legally required.

To ensure fairness we apply consistent standards to all complaints about commercial waste collection and business waste removal services. Our staff are trained to manage complaints objectively and to seek remedies that restore service and remedy harm. We aim to maintain trust by being open about decisions and the reasoning behind them.

Review and Publication We periodically review complaints trends and publish anonymised summaries as part of our governance reporting. These summaries help stakeholders understand systemic issues and our responses without identifying individual customers. This complaints procedure is subject to periodic review and may be updated; revisions will be recorded and applied to ensure continual compliance with best practice for commercial waste management.
