1. Our Commitment

At Skylight Construction LTD, we are committed to providing high-quality bespoke furniture, wardrobes, kitchens, media walls and installation services.

We understand that occasionally a customer may be dissatisfied with our products or services. We take all complaints seriously and aim to resolve them fairly, professionally and as quickly as reasonably possible.

Our complaints procedure does not affect or restrict any statutory rights a customer may have under applicable UK consumer law.

2. What Can Be Complained About?

Customers may make a complaint regarding, but not limited to:

  • Quality or condition of furniture
  • Manufacturing defects
  • Incorrect measurements or specifications
  • Furniture that does not match the agreed design or quotation
  • Installation issues
  • Damage occurring during delivery or installation
  • Missing or incorrect components
  • Delays in manufacturing, delivery or installation
  • Communication or customer service
  • Workmanship
  • Incomplete works
  • Any other issue relating to the agreed goods or services

3. How to Make a Complaint

Complaints should preferably be made in writing by email or letter so that we can properly investigate and keep an accurate record.

Customers should provide:

  • Name and contact details
  • Order or quotation number, where available
  • Date of purchase or installation
  • Description of the issue
  • Photographs or videos where relevant
  • Details of the outcome the customer believes would resolve the issue

Customers may also initially raise an issue with a member of our customer service team.

4. Acknowledgement

We aim to acknowledge a formal complaint within 3 working days of receiving it. The acknowledgement will confirm that the complaint has been received and, where possible, identify the person responsible for handling it.

5. Investigation

We will investigate complaints fairly and objectively. Depending on the nature of the complaint, this may include:

  • Reviewing the original quotation and agreed design
  • Reviewing drawings, measurements and specifications
  • Checking manufacturing records
  • Reviewing delivery and installation records
  • Speaking with the relevant members of staff or installers
  • Requesting photographs or additional information
  • Arranging an inspection or site visit where necessary

Customers are expected to provide reasonable access to the furniture or installation where an inspection is necessary.

6. Inspection of Bespoke Furniture

Where a complaint concerns an alleged defect, damage, measurement issue, installation problem or workmanship issue, Skylight Construction LTD may need to inspect the furniture before determining the appropriate resolution.

An inspection does not automatically mean that the complaint has been accepted or rejected. Our assessment will consider the agreed specification, drawings, materials, workmanship, installation requirements and circumstances surrounding the complaint.

7. Resolution

Where we determine that corrective action is appropriate, we may, depending on the circumstances and the customer’s statutory rights:

  • Repair or rectify the issue
  • Replace affected components
  • Re-manufacture affected items
  • Correct installation or workmanship
  • Complete outstanding agreed works
  • Offer an appropriate partial refund or price reduction
  • Provide another appropriate remedy

Any proposed resolution will be explained to the customer before work is carried out where reasonably practicable. Nothing in this policy is intended to remove or restrict a customer’s statutory rights.

8. Damage, Misuse and Alterations

Where appropriate, we may consider whether an issue has resulted from:

  • Accidental damage after installation
  • Incorrect use or maintenance
  • Excessive force or loading
  • Water, moisture, heat or environmental damage
  • Modification or alteration by the customer or another contractor
  • Movement or structural changes to the property
  • Failure to follow provided care or maintenance instructions

Where an issue appears unrelated to our workmanship or supplied goods, we will explain the reason for our assessment to the customer.

9. Complaints Relating to Design or Customer-Approved Specifications

For bespoke furniture, customers are responsible for reviewing and approving the final design, drawings, colours, finishes, layouts and specifications where these have been provided for approval.

However, customer approval does not remove our responsibility to supply goods and services in accordance with the agreed contract and applicable consumer law.

Where there is a disagreement regarding the agreed specification, we will review the quotation, drawings, correspondence, measurements and other relevant records before reaching a decision.

10. Timescales

We aim to provide a substantive response within 14 working days of receiving all information reasonably required to investigate the complaint.

If the complaint is complex or requires a site inspection, specialist assessment, replacement materials or communication with suppliers, it may take longer. If additional time is required, we will keep the customer informed and provide an updated expected timescale.

11. Escalation

If a customer is dissatisfied with the initial response, they may request that the complaint be reviewed by a senior member of management.

The escalation request should explain why the customer remains dissatisfied and identify any additional information they believe should be considered. We will review the complaint and provide a final response where appropriate.

12. Final Response

Our final response will, where appropriate:

  • Summarise the complaint
  • Explain the findings of our investigation
  • State whether the complaint is upheld, partially upheld or not upheld
  • Explain any corrective action or remedy offered
  • Explain any further steps available to the customer

We will aim to resolve complaints without unnecessary delay and in a fair and reasonable manner.

13. Alternative Dispute Resolution

Where applicable, customers may have access to an appropriate Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service. If Skylight Construction LTD participates in an ADR scheme, the relevant details will be provided to the customer in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Customers may also seek independent advice regarding their statutory rights.

14. Customer Conduct

We are committed to treating every customer respectfully and expect the same from customers and anyone acting on their behalf.

Abusive, threatening, discriminatory or aggressive behaviour towards our employees, installers or representatives will not be tolerated. Where such behaviour occurs, we may restrict communication to written correspondence and take reasonable steps to protect our staff, while continuing to deal with legitimate complaints appropriately.

15. Complaints Records

We will maintain appropriate records of complaints, including:

  • Date received
  • Customer and order details
  • Nature of the complaint
  • Investigation undertaken
  • Evidence considered
  • Correspondence
  • Resolution offered
  • Final outcome

Complaint records will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

Policy Statement

Skylight Construction LTD aims to deal with every complaint fairly, professionally and transparently. We will make reasonable efforts to investigate concerns and provide an appropriate resolution while respecting the customer’s rights under applicable UK law.
