Man With a Van Ravenscourt Park Complaints Procedure

This complaints procedure explains how Man With a Van Ravenscourt Park handles concerns and complaints about our removal and man and van services. We aim to provide a clear, fair and timely process so that any issues are addressed professionally and used to improve our service.

Our Commitment To You

We are committed to delivering a reliable, courteous and efficient moving service for households and businesses. If something goes wrong, we want to know about it and put it right where possible. All complaints are taken seriously, handled confidentially and reviewed by a responsible person within the business.

What Counts As A Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our services, whether justified or not, which requires a response. This may include, for example:

Concerns about the quality of packing, loading or unloading

Damage to property or belongings during a move

Disputes about timing, punctuality or no-shows

Concerns about conduct, attitude or behaviour of staff

Issues with quotations, invoicing or charges for removal work

Problems with communication before, during or after a job

If you are unsure whether your issue is a complaint or a simple query, you may still contact us using this procedure and we will advise you.

Raising A Concern Informally

In many cases, issues can be resolved quickly and informally. If you experience a problem during your move, please raise it as soon as possible with the driver or team leader on site. They will do their best to resolve the matter immediately, for example by adjusting how items are loaded, clarifying a misunderstanding, or discussing practical solutions.

If the team on site cannot resolve your concern, or you are not satisfied with their response, you may progress to the formal complaints process outlined below.

How To Make A Formal Complaint

If you wish to make a formal complaint about our removal service, please set out your concerns clearly and provide as much detail as possible. Your complaint should include:

Your full name and preferred method of contact

The date and approximate time of the job

The collection and delivery locations

A clear description of what went wrong and when it occurred

Names or descriptions of any staff involved, if known

Details of any damage or loss, with supporting information if available

An explanation of how you would like us to resolve the matter

Complaints should be made as soon as reasonably possible after the issue arises, so that we can investigate while details are still clear.

Acknowledgement Of Your Complaint

Once we receive your formal complaint, we will record it in our internal log and allocate it to an appropriate person for review. We will normally acknowledge receipt of your complaint within a reasonable period of time. The acknowledgement will confirm that we have your complaint on record and that an investigation has begun.

Our Investigation Process

We aim to investigate all complaints fairly and objectively. Depending on the nature of your concerns, the investigation may include:

Reviewing booking information, quotations and any written instructions

Checking schedules, timings and any operational notes from the job

Speaking to staff members who were present on the day

Reviewing photographs or other evidence provided by you or our team

Assessing whether our policies and procedures were followed correctly

We may contact you during the investigation to clarify details or to request further information. This helps us reach a balanced and accurate understanding of what happened.

Timeframes For Resolving Complaints

We aim to provide a full response to complaints within a reasonable period, depending on complexity and the availability of information. Where a complaint involves potential damage, loss or a dispute over charges, we may require additional time to gather evidence and assess the situation properly.

If we cannot fully respond within our usual timeframe, we will aim to let you know and provide an updated estimate of when you can expect a final reply.

Our Response And Possible Outcomes

When our investigation is complete, we will provide you with a clear response. This will usually include:

A summary of the complaint and the issues considered

Details of the steps we took to investigate

Our findings and our view on what happened

Any actions we propose to take as a result

Possible outcomes may include an explanation or apology, service improvements, corrective action during ongoing work, a review of charges, or consideration of claims for loss or damage in line with our terms and conditions. Any gesture of goodwill or settlement will be made at our discretion, taking all circumstances into account.

If You Are Not Satisfied

If you are not satisfied with our final response, you may reply to explain why you disagree and provide any further relevant information. We will review your comments and decide whether any additional investigation is needed. Once this review is complete, our decision will normally be final within our internal complaints process.

Using Complaints To Improve Our Service

Every complaint about our man and van and removal services is an opportunity for us to learn and improve. We periodically review complaints to identify patterns or recurring issues, and we may use this information to update training, adjust staffing, review equipment, or refine our operating procedures. Our aim is to reduce the likelihood of similar problems arising in future and to maintain a high standard of service for all customers.

Confidentiality And Data Protection

All complaints are handled with respect and confidentiality. Information about your complaint will only be shared with those who need it to investigate and resolve the matter. We handle all personal information in line with our data handling practices and applicable legal requirements.

Review Of This Procedure

This complaints procedure is reviewed periodically to ensure it remains clear, fair and effective for customers using our removal and man and van services. We may update the procedure from time to time to reflect changes in our business operations or legal requirements.
