It sets out the steps we take when a client raises an issue, the expected timescales for responses and the possible remedies. The policy applies to domestic and commercial clearances and to matters including service delivery, property care and environmental handling of waste.
Our aim is to resolve complaints fairly, consistently and promptly. Anyone who is directly affected by a job completed by our Cricklewood house clearance team may raise a concern. The process below is intended to be clear and transparent; it describes acknowledgement, investigation, outcome and escalation pathways while respecting confidentiality and regulatory obligations for waste carriers.
On receipt of a complaint about rubbish removal Cricklewood services we will: acknowledge the complaint within 3 working days, log the issue on our internal register and assign an investigator. We will confirm the scope of the complaint and set an expected timeframe for a full response. If additional time is required to complete enquiries we will inform the complainant of the delay and provide an updated schedule.
To assist an efficient investigation, complainants should include the following information where available:
- date and location of the job;
- description of the issue and desired outcome;
- any supporting evidence such as photographs or invoices;
- the names of any crew members involved if known.
Once a complaint is logged an experienced team member will lead the assessment. The investigator will gather relevant facts, interview staff involved and review records such as job sheets, disposal receipts and photographic evidence. We treat all matters seriously and aim to be impartial. If the complaint concerns potential regulatory breaches relating to hazardous waste or fly-tipping, the investigator will escalate the matter internally for urgent review.
Possible outcomes of the investigation include: an apology, rectification work at no additional charge, a partial or full refund where appropriate, or a written explanation of why no further action will be taken. Remedies are chosen to be proportionate to the harm or inconvenience caused and to restore trust. In circumstances where damaged property is shown to be a result of our negligence, we will propose reasonable remedial measures.
How complaints are handled and escalated
If a complainant is unhappy with the initial outcome they may request an internal review. The review will be carried out by a senior manager who was not involved in the original investigation. The internal review will consider any new information and re-evaluate the decision. We aim to complete internal reviews within 15 working days.
Where a matter cannot be resolved internally, we will explain options for independent review such as alternative dispute resolution or arbitration by an appropriate third party. We do not provide legal advice; however, we will cooperate with external mediators or regulators when a complaint relates to statutory obligations for waste carriers or environmental protection.
Records of all complaints and outcomes are maintained securely and retained in accordance with our data retention policy. Confidentiality is respected throughout; information is disclosed only to those who need it for investigation or legal compliance. Personal data handling follows applicable data protection rules and is limited to the needs of the process.

If you remain dissatisfied after internal escalation, the final internal decision will be issued in writing and will include a summary of findings, the rationale for the decision and any corrective steps taken.
