Raising a Complaint

To begin a complaint about garden clearance work, please provide a concise description of the issue, the date of the service and any relevant photographs or evidence. Complaints can be raised by the customer who contracted the clearance or a formally authorised representative. All complaints are treated confidentially and will be acknowledged promptly. Where appropriate, customers should state whether they are seeking remediation, a re-run of the service, a partial refund, or another form of resolution.

A targeted initial response explaining next steps will be provided within seven working days. If the matter is complex and requires on-site inspection or third-party investigation, the company will give an estimated timeframe for completion of the investigation and keep the complainant updated.

Investigation and Evidence

The investigation stage may involve review of job records, staff notes, waste transfer documentation and photographic evidence. The complaint handler will assess whether the work complied with the agreed scope and statutory waste handling obligations. In cases involving alleged damage or safety concerns, a site visit may be arranged. Customers are encouraged to supply clear evidence, including timestamps and descriptions, to assist a thorough review.

Whether the original service specification was met;
Appropriateness of waste sorting and disposal;
Behaviour of crew and adherence to access constraints;
Any reported damage to property or landscaping.

Where the complaint identifies a clear breach of agreed standards, the remedy options may include redoing part of the work, offering a discount, or issuing a partial refund. Each resolution is assessed on proportionality and practicality. Remedies aim to restore value and confidence in the garden clearance and waste removal service offered.

Escalation and Independent Review

If a customer is not satisfied with the proposed resolution, the complaint can be escalated to a senior manager for review. Escalation should be requested within 14 days of receiving the initial resolution. During escalation, the case will be re-examined and a final internal decision will be issued within a reasonable period, typically 20 working days, unless further investigation is required.

Before pursuing external routes, complainants are advised to ensure they have exhausted the internal process described here and retain all correspondence and evidence.
