FAULTY GOODS

  • According to the nature of the issue, the resolution could range from a repair, a replacement or a refund in accordance with consumer rights and what is considered a fair remedy.
  • The evidential mechanism for this typically involves, when possible, the customer providing videos or photos demonstrating the issue, before a Beadle Crome service technician or a third party independent technician visiting the consumers’ property and inspecting the nature of the issue. Where possible, a first visit repair will be attempted, and a report will be returned to Beadle Crome’s service department who will then identify the most appropriate resolution or next steps.
  • This is a practical method to resolve issues quickly and fairly, with no further remedial work or communication required. At this stage Beadle Crome will typically communicate with customers to explain that the service issue is resolved.
  • Should the Beadle Crome Customer Service department feel unable to resolve an issue, it will be typically referred to a senior manager as a final confirmation that we have treated the customer fairly.
  • Should both parties fail to agree a mutually acceptable resolution and neither party feels that they should concede, Beadle Crome Interiors will recommend that consumers consult The Furniture and Home Improvement Ombudsman and if necessary, The Financial Conduct Authority.
  • Every attempt will be made by Beadle Crome Interiors to resolve the issue fairly and as practically as possible.
