Complaints Procedure for Kentish Town Skip Hire

Purpose: This page explains the formal complaints process for customers of Kentish Town Skip Hire and associated waste services including skip hire, rubbish collection and site clearance. It sets out what types of concerns we consider, how complaints will be handled and the timelines you can expect. The aim is to ensure a clear, fair and prompt approach to resolving issues related to waste removal, skip delivery and collection, and general rubbish company operations. We treat every concern seriously and aim to learn from each case to improve service standards across our waste removal and skip hire operations.

• Scope: Complaints about missed collections, damaged property during a skip delivery or collection, incorrect billing, safety concerns on site, and customer service interactions.
• Exclusions: Matters that are already subject to legal proceedings, or disputes that require an independent statutory process, are outside this procedure.
• Who can complain: Any person or organisation directly affected by the provision of our skip hire or rubbish removal services can use this procedure.

How to make a complaint

If you are dissatisfied, please submit a clear description of the issue, including the date, location of the service and any reference numbers such as job IDs or order numbers where available. Provide factual details only rather than speculative statements. You may indicate the outcome you expect, for example a re-collection, refund or an apology. Complaints should be raised promptly in order to allow a full investigation while evidence and witness recollections remain current.

Acknowledgement and initial response: Upon receipt of a complaint we will acknowledge it and confirm who is handling the matter. We aim to provide an initial acknowledgement within three business days and, where possible, an expected timeframe for resolution. If further information is needed to proceed, we will request it and pause substantive action until the information is provided. Customers should expect regular updates if the matter exceeds the initially stated timeframe.

Investigation and resolution process

• Step 1 — Log and assess: The complaint is logged and allocated to a trained investigator who will review service records, driver notes, photographic evidence and any other pertinent information.
• Step 2 — Gather evidence: Where necessary we will interview staff involved and consult third-party records (e.g., CCTV or site access logs) to establish the facts.
• Step 3 — Decision and remedy: After the investigation, a considered outcome will be provided outlining findings and any remedial actions, such as arranging a re-collection, offering a proportionate refund or making procedural changes to prevent recurrence.

Escalation: If the initial outcome is not acceptable, customers may ask for the matter to be escalated internally for review by a senior manager. Escalation requests should include the complaint reference and a concise statement of why the outcome is considered unsatisfactory. The escalation review will be completed within a set period, and the reviewer will confirm whether the previous decision stands or additional action is required. Our escalation process is intended to provide a final internal review prior to any external actions.

Remedies and fair outcomes: Remedies are selected to be proportionate to the impact of the issue. For service failures this may include re-performance of the service, a partial or full refund when a chargeable service has not been delivered as promised, or corrective measures to repair any damage caused by a delivery or collection. Where appropriate, we will also offer assurances that changes will be made to reduce the chance of similar problems in future. All outcomes aim to be reasonable, transparent and consistent with established service standards for skip hire and rubbish collection providers.

Record keeping and continuous improvement: We maintain records of complaints and outcomes in order to monitor performance trends and identify recurring problems. These records help direct training, operational changes and supplier checks so that service quality for skip hire, waste clearance and rubbish removal steadily improves. Records are retained in line with our internal retention policies and applicable regulations, and they are used solely for the purposes of complaint handling, service improvement and audit.

Confidentiality and conduct: Complaints will be handled sensitively and with respect for privacy. Personal information included in a complaint will be processed only for the purpose of investigating and resolving the matter. We expect complainants to act reasonably and to provide truthful information; abusive or vexatious behaviour may result in the complaint being closed or handled under a specific policy for persistent complaints.
