Complaints Procedure & Service Guarantees

The formal complaints process, our same-day arrival window guarantees, no-show compensation, and equipment promises for every job.

Our Three Written Service Guarantees

Every domestic and small-commercial booking automatically gets these three guarantees — no opt-in required. They are written to directly counter the three recurring 1-star pain themes found across 960 local competitor reviews: ghosting, late-windows, and under-equipped crews.

  • No-show guarantee: if we do not turn up for the booked date at all with no legitimate event texted in advance, next-day re-book is free and £100 is deducted from the invoice
  • Late-window guarantee: if we miss the 2-hour booked arrival window by more than 20 minutes outside of genuine traffic events, £50 flat discount applies
  • Equipment guarantee: every job, even single-item, gets a 2-person crew, LWB tipper van, straps, blankets, stair climber. If we arrive under-equipped and the job runs long as a result, extra time is free

Raising A Complaint

Complaints should be raised by email or WhatsApp within 14 days of the job date so that we can pull the crew records, photos, WTN, and any dashboard camera footage. All complaints are logged, numbered, and acknowledged within one working hour.

  • WhatsApp the main enquiry number quoting the job reference — fastest route
  • Email the office address shown on your invoice with the subject line "Complaint — ref XXX"
  • For landlord and commercial accounts, contact your account holder directly

48-Hour Resolution Timeline

Stage 1: within 24 hours the foreman or account handler reviews the job file and speaks to the crew. Stage 2: within 48 hours the customer receives a written response with the finding and any proposed resolution. Stage 3: if unresolved, the case is escalated to a director for a final decision within a further 48 hours.

If the complaint cannot be resolved internally and we are operating under a trade body or deposit-backed membership (see insurance page) the customer will be told how to escalate to the relevant dispute resolution body.

What We Will And Will Not Offer

For upheld complaints resolutions are proportional to the issue. They may include a partial or full refund, a complimentary re-collection, a discount on a future booking, or in serious cases a formal written apology from a director with corrective action taken internally.

We do not offer punitive damages, compensation for consequential loss outside of the direct service failure, or settlements without first investigating the job file and the supporting evidence.

Guarantee Exclusions

Guarantees do not apply if the customer provided materially inaccurate access or waste information that prevented the job being completed as scoped, or if the booking was changed inside 4 hours of the slot with no time to re-plan. Genuine traffic, weather, or road closure events are texted to the customer immediately and the window is extended by the delay with no penalty applied. London being London, this happens about twice a month.
