Complaints Handling Procedure

1. Introduction
This procedure sets out the steps to follow when submitting a complaint and how we will respond. It is designed to resolve issues quickly, effectively, and in a manner that is satisfactory for all parties involved.

2. How to Make a Complaint
If you have a complaint about the service provided by Andrew Stevens Ltd, please follow these steps:

2.1 Informal Resolution (Stage 1)
We encourage clients to first raise any concerns directly with the staff member you’ve been dealing with. In many cases, the issue can be resolved quickly without the need for a formal complaint. If you’re not satisfied after this initial discussion, you may proceed to the formal complaint process.

2.2 Formal Complaint (Stage 2)

If the issue is not resolved informally, please submit your formal complaint in writing via one of the following methods:

We aim to acknowledge receipt of all formal complaints within 3 working days.
