Customer Complaints and Concerns Policy

Kingfisher Building Products Ltd is committed to providing a high-quality, professional and transparent service to all our customers. Unfortunately, however, there may be occasions when you feel the level of service you receive has fallen below your expectations. Telling us about this gives us the chance to review your concerns and, if necessary, make internal improvements to our systems and processes.

We define a complaint as follows:

Any expression of dissatisfaction, whether oral or written, and whether justified or not, from or on behalf of an eligible complainant about our provision of, or failure to provide, a professional and fair service.

If at any stage you feel unhappy with any aspect of our service, you must inform us as soon as possible. In this first instance, you should first speak to the General Manager and explain your concerns. Hopefully, at this point, they will be able to help resolve any issues you may have.

However, if after discussing your concern with the General Manager you are not satisfied you do have a right to make a formal complaint.

If you wish to make a formal complaint, the process is explained below.

Making a formal complaint:

Please complete our complaints form, available by clicking here

Complete all the required sections of the form and submit the completed form via email to [email protected] or in the post to Kingfisher Building Products, Cooper Lane, Ulverston, LA12 9RA

What we need from you:

Please include as much detail as possible about your complaint, along with your name, address, contact number and a convenient time for us to call you to discuss your complaint if you would like to discuss your complaint over the telephone prior to us sending you a formal, written response.

Why do we need this information? We want to fully understand your complaint and why you feel our level of service has fallen below your expectations. This is to make sure we get the right person handling your complaint, so they can investigate and provide a response as soon as possible. Your data and personal details will be treated in the strictest of confidence and in accordance with our data protection procedure.

Once we receive your complaint:

Once we receive your complaint, we will send you a prompt response acknowledging receipt. This will be sent to you within five working days, using your preferred communication method (email and/or hard copy letter). This correspondence will contain the name, address, email and contact number of the person handling your complaint. We will give you a complaint reference number that you can quote for future reference.

You will then be contacted directly by the investigating officer appointed who will introduce themselves. If they require any further information at this point in relation to your complaint, or your complaint is unclear or ambiguous, this will be discussed at this point.

Following this, we will fully investigate your complaint. The investigating officer will gather all necessary documents and information to make an independent review of the case. Investigations will utilise all the facts and any previous, related information to produce an unbiased outcome and an expected course of action. Should we require any further information during our investigation process, we will contact you using your preferred method of contact.

We will then send you a formal written response within 8 weeks from receipt of your complaint. This will outline the details of our investigation, how we reached our decision and any proposed resolution (if applicable). Please note, the 8 week timeframe is the maximum permitted deadline, and we will endeavour to respond to all complaints at the earliest possible opportunity.

Following the issue of our final response, if you are still not satisfied, you can make contact with the relevant contact outlined in our final response document. This individual will then liaise with you directly, as well as independently reviewing your original complaint and our investigation and initial final response.

Any customer who makes a complaint is free to stop the process and withdraw their complaint at any point. Any withdrawal of a complaint should ideally be made in writing. We will, however, accept a verbal request to withdraw a complaint. We will subsequently confirm any request to withdraw your complaint to you formally in writing.

Individuals with complaints have the right to complain more than once about if subsequent incidents occur whilst we are providing a service to them. However, this contact becomes unreasonable when the effect of the repeated complaints is to harass, or to prevent us impartially investigating a complaint or pursuing a legitimate or decision. We consider access to our complaints policy to be important and it will only be in exceptional circumstances that we would consider such repeated use as unreasonable – but we reserve the right to do so in those exceptional cases.
