Scope of this Complaints Procedure
This procedure applies to all customers who use Tufnell Park Movers for domestic removals, office moves, packing, storage handling, delivery, and related services.

Listen carefully to your concerns and treat you with courtesy at all times.
Record the details of your complaint accurately and securely.

How to Make a Complaint
You can raise a complaint about Tufnell Park Movers in any reasonable way that is convenient for you. We encourage you, where possible, to raise any issues as soon as they arise so we can act quickly to resolve them.
Informal Complaints
Many concerns can be resolved informally by speaking directly with a member of the team at the time of your move or as soon as you notice an issue. For example, if you are unhappy with how your belongings are being handled on moving day, you can raise this immediately with the team leader present. We will always try to resolve concerns on the spot where it is safe and practical to do so.
Formal Complaints
If your concern cannot be resolved informally, or you prefer a more formal process, you can submit a formal complaint in writing. When you do so, please provide as much detail as possible, including:
Your full name and the address where the service was provided.
The date of your move or the date of the issue.
A clear description of what went wrong and how it has affected you.
Details of any conversations you have already had with our staff about the issue.
What you would consider a reasonable resolution.
Written complaints enable us to review your case carefully and maintain a clear record of what has happened and how we respond.
Timeframes for Handling Complaints
Once we receive your complaint, we aim to follow these timeframes:
Initial acknowledgment: We will acknowledge your complaint as soon as reasonably possible and confirm that it is being investigated.
Investigation: We will usually complete our initial investigation within 10 working days. If the matter is complex or requires more time, we will let you know and give you an updated timescale.
Full response: After the investigation, we will provide you with a written response setting out our findings, any proposed resolution, and the reasons for our decision.
We aim to handle all complaints promptly, while taking the time needed to review matters properly and fairly.
Investigation and Evidence
When investigating a complaint, Tufnell Park Movers may:
Review your booking details, inventory lists, and any signed documents relating to your move.
Speak with the crew members, office staff, or managers involved in providing the service.
Review any photographs, notes, or other evidence you provide concerning damage, delays, or service quality.
Assess whether we have followed our internal policies and industry best practices.
Our aim is to understand what has happened in a balanced way so we can respond fairly and transparently.
Possible Outcomes and Resolutions
Following the investigation, we will explain the outcome to you. Possible resolutions may include:
An apology and explanation of what went wrong.
Corrective action during the remainder of your move or for future services.
Practical steps to remedy the issue where possible.
Consideration of compensation where appropriate and in line with our terms and conditions and applicable law.
If we do not uphold your complaint, we will explain our reasons clearly. You will always have the opportunity to ask for clarification about how we reached our decision.
Escalation of Your Complaint
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint at the first stage, you may request that it is reviewed by a more senior member of the Tufnell Park Movers management team. When you do this, please explain why you remain dissatisfied and what you believe would be a fair outcome.
The reviewing manager will look again at the information already gathered, may request additional details, and will issue a further written response. This response will either confirm the original decision or set out a revised resolution.
