H2: How to submit a complaint

When you submit a complaint to the gardener in Kensington, we will acknowledge receipt promptly and advise who will manage the investigation. All complaints are recorded in our central system so that they are tracked from initial report through final resolution. This record includes the nature of the complaint, actions taken, findings and any remedial steps implemented.

We aim to complete an initial investigation within a set timescale and provide a written response outlining our findings and proposed remedies. If more time is required we will communicate the reason for delay and provide an updated timeframe.

H2: Assessment and outcomes

The assessment phase evaluates whether the work delivered met the contractual terms, industry standards and the reasonable expectations of the client. Outcomes can include a recommendation for corrective work, a partial refund where appropriate, or an agreed form of compensation. Decisions are made on evidence and in line with our commitment to fairness and customer service.

Possible outcomes are listed below:

  • Rectification of the work at no additional cost;
  • Partial rebate when the service delivered falls short of agreed standards;
  • Formal apology and explanation where process failings are identified;
  • Referral to an independent assessor for complex technical disputes.

We maintain a consistent approach when resolving complaints about the landscaping contractor or gardeners acting on our behalf, and we monitor trends to prevent recurrence. Learning and continuous improvement are central to our approach: recurring issues trigger reviews of training, processes and supplier selection.

There is a mix of flowering plants and dense foliage, with some taller trees in the background providing shade.

If the client is dissatisfied with the outcome, they can request an internal review. The review is conducted by a senior member of the team who was not involved in the original assessment. This stage re-examines the evidence and the appropriateness of the remedy. We will issue a final position statement following the review, and explain why the decision has been upheld or changed.

Appeals must be made within an identified period after issuance of the initial response. During this period we may offer mediation or recommend independent arbitration for disputes where agreement cannot be reached internally. While we strive to settle matters amicably, we will treat each escalation objectively and document the final resolution thoroughly.
