We recognise that, despite our best efforts, things can occasionally go wrong. When this happens, we want to know about it so that we can put matters right and improve our service for the future.
This complaints procedure explains how you can raise a complaint, how we will deal with it, and what you can expect from us at every stage. It applies to all customers who use our removal, packing, storage or related services.
Our Commitment to You
When you raise a complaint with Finsbury Park Removals, we will:
Listen carefully to your concerns and treat you with respect and courtesy at all times.
Handle your complaint promptly, fairly and transparently.
Investigate the issues thoroughly and objectively.
Keep you informed of progress and likely timescales.
Where appropriate, offer a clear explanation, an apology and, if required, a suitable remedy in line with our terms and conditions.
What Counts as a Complaint
A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction, whether written or verbal, about the service you have received or expected to receive from Finsbury Park Removals. This may include, for example:
Concerns about the standard of our packing, loading or unloading.
Issues with punctuality or agreed timescales for collection or delivery.
Damage or loss of items during a removal or storage period.
Disputes about costs, quotes, invoices or payment arrangements.
The conduct, behaviour or attitude of a member of our team.
Any other aspect of our removal services that you are unhappy with.
How to Make a Complaint
You can make a complaint to Finsbury Park Removals in writing or by speaking to us. We recommend putting your concerns in writing where possible, as this helps us to understand the issue clearly and keep an accurate record.
When you contact us, please include the following information to help us investigate:
Your full name and contact details.
Your moving date and, if available, any reference number on your quote or invoice.
A clear description of what went wrong and when it happened.
Details of any conversations you have already had with our team about the issue.
Any supporting information, such as photographs, inventories, or receipts.
If you raise your complaint verbally during or immediately after your move, the team on site will attempt to resolve the matter straight away where possible. If the issue cannot be resolved immediately, it will be referred to our office for further review under this procedure.
Timescales for Raising a Complaint
To allow us to investigate effectively, we ask that you raise any complaint as soon as possible after the problem occurs. For issues involving possible damage or loss of goods, we request that you contact us within a reasonable time after delivery and once you have had the opportunity to check your belongings.
We may not be able to fully investigate complaints submitted after a long delay, especially where evidence or records are no longer available. However, we will always do our best to assist you.
How We Will Handle Your Complaint
Stage 1: Acknowledgement
Once we receive your complaint, we will acknowledge it as soon as reasonably possible. We will confirm that we are looking into the matter and may ask you for any additional information we need.
Stage 2: Investigation
Your complaint will be passed to an appropriate member of our management team for review. They may:
Check your quote, booking details and correspondence.
Review any photographs, inventories or condition reports.
Speak to the staff members or contractors involved in your move.
Where necessary, ask you for further clarification or evidence.
Stage 3: Response
After completing our investigation, we will provide a written response setting out:
Our understanding of your complaint.
The steps we took to investigate.
Our findings and decision.
Any proposed resolution, which may include an explanation, apology, corrective action, or other remedy in line with our contractual obligations.
We aim to issue a full response within a reasonable timeframe. If there is likely to be a delay, we will let you know and explain why.
Possible Outcomes and Remedies
Where we find that something has gone wrong with the service we provided, we will aim to put things right in a fair and proportionate way. Depending on the situation and subject to our terms and conditions, possible remedies may include:
A clear explanation of what happened and why.
A sincere apology for any inconvenience caused.
Steps to complete or correct any outstanding work.
Consideration of compensation or reimbursement where appropriate and supported by evidence.
Improvements to our processes, training or systems to reduce the chance of similar problems occurring again.
Escalating Your Complaint
If you are not satisfied with the initial outcome, you may request that your complaint is reviewed again. In this case, where practicable, a different member of our management team will reassess the matter and provide a further response.
When requesting a review, please explain which parts of our response you disagree with and why, and provide any additional information you feel is relevant.

By raising a concern, you help us to maintain and improve the standards that customers expect from a professional removals company.
Confidentiality and Data Protection
All complaints will be handled in confidence and in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Information you provide will only be shared within our organisation as necessary to investigate and resolve your complaint, or where we are legally required to disclose it.
This complaints procedure does not affect your statutory rights or any rights provided under our terms and conditions of service.
