Complaints Procedure
Man with Van Lea Bridge Complaints Procedure
Man with Van Lea Bridge is committed to providing a professional and reliable removals and man and van service. We recognise that, on occasion, things may not go as planned. When this happens, we want to know so we can put matters right and improve our service. This complaints procedure explains how you can raise a concern, how we will respond, and what you can expect from us throughout the process.
Our Commitment to You
We aim to handle every complaint in a way that is fair, respectful and transparent. Our goals are to acknowledge your concerns promptly, investigate them thoroughly, keep you informed, and, where appropriate, offer a suitable resolution. We also use feedback from complaints to review our practices and raise standards across our removal services.
What This Procedure Covers
This procedure covers complaints about the services provided by Man with Van Lea Bridge, including but not limited to home removals, small office moves, local man and van services, loading and unloading, and transportation of goods. It applies whether you booked directly with us or through an intermediary. It does not cover issues that are solely related to third party services outside our control.
What We Class as a Complaint
A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our service where you would like a response or resolution. Examples include problems with punctuality, conduct of staff, handling of goods, communication, charges, or how a previous concern was dealt with. We treat all complaints seriously, regardless of the size or value of the job.
How to Make a Complaint
You can raise a complaint verbally or in writing. While we will always try to resolve issues informally at the time they arise, we encourage you to put more serious or ongoing concerns in writing so that there is a clear record of what has happened and what you would like us to do.
When making a complaint, please provide as much information as possible, including your full name, the date of your move or booking, the pickup and delivery locations, a clear description of what went wrong, details of any damage or loss, and any supporting information such as photographs or job references. The more detail you provide, the easier it is for us to investigate and respond accurately.
Time Limits for Raising a Complaint
You should raise any concerns as soon as reasonably possible after the issue occurs. Prompt notification helps us investigate more effectively and gives us a better chance of putting things right. If your complaint involves alleged damage or loss, please make us aware as soon as you notice the issue, ideally on the day of the move or within a short period afterwards.
How We Will Handle Your Complaint
Once we receive your complaint, we will acknowledge it within a reasonable timeframe. We will then review the information you have provided, check our own records, and, where necessary, speak to team members who were involved in your move. If we need further information from you to complete our investigation, we will contact you and explain what is required.
We aim to provide a full response as quickly as practicable. In more complex cases, the process may take longer, but we will keep you informed of progress. Our response will set out our understanding of your complaint, the steps we have taken to investigate it, our findings, and any proposed resolution.
Possible Outcomes and Resolutions
Depending on the nature of the complaint and the outcome of our investigation, resolutions may include an explanation or clarification, an apology, corrective action to prevent recurrence, and, where appropriate, a financial or practical remedy in line with our terms and conditions. Any remedy will take into account the specific circumstances of your move and the extent of any loss or inconvenience.
If You Are Not Satisfied with the Outcome
If you are unhappy with the initial response to your complaint, you can ask for it to be reviewed again. When requesting a review, please explain which parts of the outcome you disagree with and why, and include any additional information you feel has not been considered. We will then arrange for a further review, which may be carried out by a different person or at a higher level within the business where possible.
Following this review, we will provide a final response. While this will usually conclude our internal process, we remain open to constructive dialogue and will always consider reasonable suggestions that might help resolve outstanding concerns.
Your Responsibilities
We ask that you treat our team with courtesy and respect throughout the complaints process. In return, we will do the same. We also ask that you provide accurate information and respond to our requests for clarification or evidence within reasonable timescales, so that we can progress your complaint efficiently.
Using Complaints to Improve Our Service
Every complaint received is recorded and reviewed. We look for patterns, recurring issues, or opportunities where better training, clearer communication, or changes to our procedures could prevent similar problems arising in future. By telling us when something goes wrong with your removal or man and van service, you help us deliver a better experience for all customers.
Policy Review
This complaints procedure is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains clear, fair and effective. We may update it from time to time to reflect changes in our services, customer expectations, or legal and regulatory requirements. The version published here will always be the most current procedure for Man with Van Lea Bridge.
