We do everything we can to ensure our customers get the best products and services possible. However, sometimes we may not get things right the first time.
When that happens, please tell us what went wrong so we can put matters right.
We want to…
- Make it easy for you to tell us what went wrong
- Give your complaint the attention it deserves
- Resolve your complaint fairly and without delay
- Make sure you are satisfied with how your complaint was resolved.
How and Where to Complain…
Each showroom is an independently owned franchise of The Kitchen Depot and is responsible for addressing and resolving any complaints related to their business. All showroom details can be found on their respective branch page, located through the Find A Showroom button above. If you are not satisfied with any aspect of our service or products you can tell us about your complaint in the following ways:
In-person: Please contact your local showroom prior to visiting and verify the opening hours in advance.
In writing: Please address your correspondence to the Owner or Manager of the local showroom where you purchased your kitchen.
By telephone: Call your local showroom and they will deal with your enquiry via phone.
By email: Email your local showroom with an explanation of your complaint.
No response: If you do not receive a response from your local showroom within 48 hours, please contact the franchisor, The Kitchen Depot Holdings LTD, by email at info@thekitchendepot.co.uk
How Long Will It Take…
We aim to resolve your complaint promptly, however if you are not satisfied with the response, then we will write to you within five business days to tell you:
- Why we have not resolved your complaint
- Who is dealing with your complaint
- When we will contact you again.
We will aim to resolve your complaint promptly, but more complex issues may take more time. We’ll update you regularly; for immediate updates, contact your local showroom and ask for the person managing your complaint.
If We Cannot Reach An Agreement With You…
If we can’t agree on a solution within 8 weeks and your complaint relates to our credit brokerage service we will:
– Send a letter giving our reasons for the delay and an indication of when we expect to provide a final decision.
OR
– Issue our final decision letter which will explain our final position.
We will usually resolve your complaint quickly, but if it is complex it may take longer. We will keep you informed on a regular basis but if you need an update please call your local showroom and ask to speak to the person dealing with your complaint.
Our aim is to resolve all credit brokerage-related complaints internally. However, if after receiving our final decision letter or 8 weeks have passed you may have the right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).
