Customer Complaints Procedure
Laverack Joinery Ltd. is committed to providing high-quality joinery products, which meet the standards our customers expect of us, and we expect of ourselves.
We make every effort to ensure that everything we manufacture is produced fit for purpose, to the satisfaction of our customer or their representative, on time, and to the price agreed.
If a customer believes that they have reason to be dissatisfied with the product or the service we have supplied, we will try to the best of our ability to find a mutually acceptable solution. It is company policy that all complaints are treated seriously and professionally, treating complainants with sympathy and empathy, using these situations as an opportunity to learn.
If a query or complaint is received, it will be referred to a member of the office team, who will contact the customer directly to clarify the details. The complaint will be logged and if appropriate or necessary, they will arrange for an inspection visit. If we conclude that we are in some way responsible for the problem that has arisen, we undertake to rectify it in a mutually agreeable manner as soon as possible. Once the issue is considered resolved by both parties, the complaint will then be closed.
If further advice or assistance is required, or if it is agreed that an independent view is required, we may seek the opinion of the Technical Department of the British Woodworking Federation.
We aim to respond initially to any query or complaint within 10 working days. We hope to agree any remedial action, which may be required within 10 working days of the inspection.
We keep a written and digital record of all complaints and queries received, and review them from time to time in order to ensure that problems do not recur.
