House removals and flat moves

Office and commercial relocations

Student moves and single-item deliveries

Loading, unloading and packing assistance

Short-notice and same-day man and van bookings

How to Raise a Complaint

You can make a complaint verbally or in writing. We encourage you to raise any issue as soon as possible so that we can address it quickly. When submitting your complaint, please provide the following information to help us investigate:

Your full name

The date of the service and, if known, your booking reference

The address where the removal or man and van service took place

A clear description of the issue, including what went wrong and when

Details of any member of staff you dealt with

Any supporting information or evidence you wish to share

Stage 1: Informal Resolution

If you are unhappy during or immediately after your removal service, please speak to a member of our team at the earliest opportunity. Many concerns can be resolved quickly on the day, such as minor issues with timings, loading, unloading, or communication. Our staff will do their best to resolve the matter there and then, where possible.

If your concern cannot be resolved informally or you remain dissatisfied, your complaint will move to the formal stage.

Stage 2: Formal Complaint

For a formal complaint, please set out your concerns clearly in writing. Once we receive your complaint, we will:

Acknowledge receipt of your complaint within a reasonable time frame

Assign your complaint to a manager or senior member of staff for review

Carry out an investigation, which may include speaking to the removal team, reviewing schedules, viewing any relevant images, and checking service records

We aim to provide a full response once the investigation is complete. If we expect the investigation to take longer than usual, we will let you know and keep you updated on progress.

How We Assess Complaints

During our investigation we will consider:

Whether our services were delivered as described at the time of booking

Whether our staff acted in a professional and respectful manner

Whether agreed times, locations and instructions for your move were followed

Whether any loss, damage or delay occurred and, if so, the cause

Any relevant terms and conditions that applied to your booking

We will use the information gathered to reach a fair and balanced conclusion. Our priority is to understand what happened and what we can do to put things right where appropriate.

Our Response and Possible Outcomes

When we have completed our investigation, we will respond to you with our findings. Depending on the circumstances, our response may include:

An explanation of what occurred and why

An apology, where we identify that we fell short of our usual standards

Details of any corrective action we have taken or will take

Information about any compensation or goodwill gesture offered, in line with our terms and conditions and the nature of the issue

Steps we are taking to prevent similar issues in future

If You Remain Dissatisfied

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint, you may ask for your case to be reviewed again by a senior member of our team. In your request, please explain which parts of the response you disagree with and why. We will re-examine the information, and may request further details from you or our staff before issuing a final decision.

Time Limits for Complaints

To help us investigate effectively, we ask that complaints relating to removal services, transport, or handling of goods are raised as soon as reasonably possible after the service has taken place. Delay in reporting an issue may affect the quality of evidence available and, in some cases, our ability to offer a remedy.

Data Protection and Confidentiality

All complaints are handled in confidence. Information you provide will be used solely for the purpose of investigating and resolving your complaint, and for improving our man and van and removal services. We will store and process your information in line with applicable data protection requirements.

Using Feedback to Improve Our Services

Every complaint, comment and suggestion helps us to improve our service across our operational area. We regularly review complaints to identify recurring issues and implement changes where needed, such as additional staff training, adjustments to planning routes, better communication, or changes to how we handle and protect your belongings.

Summary

Man With a Van Ladbroke Grove is committed to dealing with complaints openly and constructively. We value the trust you place in us when you book a removal or man and van service, and this procedure is designed to ensure that any concerns you raise are taken seriously and addressed fairly.
