Complaints about a member
Resolving Issues
At AllFeito, we pride ourselves on the high standards each of our featured tradespeople agree to uphold. We constantly check our tradespeople to enable our customers the opportunity to find a reliable Pro. However, we recognize from time to time things can go wrong. What’s important is how any issues are tackled and we expect our members to make every effort to discuss your concerns and handle your complaint appropriately.
How to resolve issues
By choosing AllFeito to source one of our members, you will have access to the support network our company provides where our experienced team of customer service experts will be on hand to provide you with advice you might need if things don’t go to plan. We will be able to communicate with yourselves and the trades person in question, with the aim to resolve any issues which cannot be directly solved between you; giving you extra peace of mind.
If you have any reason to complain about the work of one of our members there are three steps that may help you to resolve your issues
As soon as you are aware there is a potential issue contact the trades person who arranged the work.
Many trades will take this opportunity to rectify the issue
- Explain your concerns and the reasons you are not happy
- Discuss what actions can be undertaken to rectify the situation
- Allow the trade the opportunity to rectify the mistakes
- Set a final deadline date
It's a good idea to:
- Gather any paperwork and receipts
- Take photos to use as evidence of the problem
- Make notes about what's happened, this could be an email or letter to the trade, starting a paper trail is important should you wish to take the complaint further at a later date
Remember, when talking to the trade be precise, remain calm and courteous.
AllFeito are here to support by working in partnership with you and the trades person to encourage a suitable resolution
- Please start by leaving a review
- If your own efforts to address your concerns with the trades person were not successful, then we are happy to contact the trades person on your behalf and seek to understand what action can be taken. Our members know that unsatisfied customers can leave a negative review that will be published on their profile page and are therefore usually eager to resolve any issues.
- The trades person will be notified of all negative reviews and they will be given 7 days to respond. Your review will be published on their profile page for all future consumers to see.
- In the event one of our members falls short of The AllFeito Standards, membership may be suspended or terminated.
We are here to advise both parties on any possible next steps

- We publish negative reviews and give the trade a chance to put serious complaints right and allow 7 days for this. We have found that this usually results in a much better outcome for you

In the event that you wish to remain anonymous to our member we do still encourage you to notify us of your experience to ensure we can monitor how trades are conducting themselves and their business
