Anyone affected by the way Hiskins Electrical Services provides services can make a complaint.

  • have given consent for the representative to act on their behalf

Hiskins Electrical Services will acknowledge a complaint within 3 working days and give you the name and contact details of the person investigating it.

 

We will keep you informed about the progress of the investigation. We aim to have all complaints finished within 28 working days unless we agree a different time scale with you.

 

When we have finished investigating, we will arrange to meet with you to discuss the outcome, and write to you with:

  • any action we have taken; and
  • our proposals to resolve your complaint.

 

 

  1. Time limits

You should complain as soon as you can after the date on which the event occurred or came to your notice. If you complain more than twelve months later, we may not be able to investigate properly. But we shall also consider whether you had good reason for not making the complaint sooner and whether, despite the delay, it is still possible to investigate the complaint effectively and fairly.
