​11. Satisfaction Guarantee / Complaints
Our ‘100% Satisfaction Guarantee’ is valid for 1 business days (Monday to Friday – Excluding Weekends and Public Holidays) after the completion of any service provided the service was completed and payment was made in full.
If for some reason the service does not pass the Clients satisfaction, the client is required to lodge a complaint in writing within this time frame outlying the client’s complaint and or issue with the service performed. BBC will then arrange a service provider to return to rectify any issue/s with the service provided without charge. Normally this process occurs within 48 hours of formal notification however BBC reserves the right to re-attend up to 7 Business days (dependent upon the service provider’s availability to re-attend the premises) after receiving formal notification.
Before rectification works commence, the Client is required to provide a rectification list of items containing a clear list of works to complete the service to the client’s satisfaction (This list is usually provided by the property manager if you have booked an end of lease bond clean and are looking to satisfy your agent’s satisfaction). Our scope of work does not cover dust settlement that occurs naturally between the time of service and re-inspection nor does it cover cleaning a property after trades people have conducted work at your property after our cleaners have concluded their service. Please note that accumulation of dust over time is considered normal and activities such as ‘open homes’ are likely to speed up this process.
Although we aim to ensure every service is performed Professionally and every client is happy not all stains can be removed and not all cleaning is revivable. Our definition of Satisfaction pertains to a level of improvement not perfection! Properties in a state of wear and tear or in some instances "Trashed Properties" cannot be renewed to brand new.

If the Client, client’s representative or agent do not attend to the rectification service BBC will deem the service complete – Any further recall will be chargeable at BBC advertised prices.
(f) In the event of an ongoing client complaint, the Client undertakes to give BBC the opportunity to rectify the work conducted. Subject to clause 15, BBC may, at its discretion, offer the Client either of the following:
