Aftercare and Advice

If you would like to report and outstanding items or snags please email aftercare@djbi.co.uk in a timely manner.

Please note that reports of any damage to personal property such as fixtures and furnishings need to be reported to us with pictures within7 days of the incident.

6.0 Resolving the Complaint

6.1 There are three stages to the Complaints Procedure. All complaints will be treated seriously but will firstly be dealt with at the lowest operational level within the relevant department with the aim to resolving the complaint promptly i.e. Support Advisor

6.2 Level 1

We will aim to deal with and respond to all level 1 complaints within 8 working days and if this is not possible, within 28 days. The Support Advisor will access the complaint form and gather as much information about the complaint to help resolve the complaint. Once this has been done, Support will contact the customer and try to resolve. If the complaint involves a third party such as a contractor or sub-contractor and we think it may take longer than 28 days to resolve, we will respond within the 8 days to give an indication when the matter is likely to be concluded.

All correspondence will be saved on the customer’s file. Any correspondence will tell you who is dealing with your complaint and by what date they will respond. If you are not happy with the response you can escalate it to the next level.

6.3 Level 2

We will aim to deal with and respond to all level 2 complaints within 10 working days. If the Support Advisor cannot resolve the issue or a customer is not happy with the outcome of a has escalated a level 1 complaint then this will be allocated to the appropriate Manager who will then assess the information and try to identify the most appropriate course of action to resolve the complaint. If the complaint involves a third party such as a contractor or sub-contractor we will tell you if we think it will take longer than the 10 days to be concluded.

All correspondence will be saved on the customer’s file. Any correspondence will tell you who is dealing with your complaint and by what date they will respond. If you are not happy with the response you can escalate it to the next level.

6.4 Level 3

We will aim to deal with and respond to all level 3 complaints within 4 working days. If the complaint involves a third party such as a contractor or sub-contractor we will respond to give an indication when the matter is likely to be concluded. The complaint will be escalated to the Managing Director who will assess the information provided by the Manager and prepare a response to the complainant within 10 working days of receipt of the complaint.

If the complaint is of a nature that is not within the remit or power of DJB Installs to resolve, such as disputes relating to third parties, contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers, then we will advise the customer of the various course of action they have available to them under the Green Deal or potential legal discourse.

7.0 The Ombudsman

If for any reason you do not feel able to deal with us in respect of your problems or complaints, or you are not satisfied with your treatment, the process, or its outcome, you have the right to contact the Ombudsman. However, the Ombudsman will normally get involved in your case after you have been through our full complaints procedure and failed to have resolve your complaint.

7.3 So, how are we doing?

We will report details of how we have been dealing with complaints, compliments and suggestions in our annual report.

Complaints Policy – Existing Pipe Circuits

This policy clarification has been developed/amended in consultation with our consumer code body.

DJB Installs will honour and provide the appropriate workmanship warranties for aspects of its installation. However, where we carry out work in properties with existing pipe work circuits we issue this clarification.

Leaks or similar issues must be reported within a month of DJB Installs commissioning the works.

If nothing is reported to us it is fair to assume that the work has been carried out to the appropriate standard and functions correctly. Thus, DJB Installs will work on the basis that everything relating to the install is compliant and in good working order.

Should any issues arise, the burden of proof regarding sub-standard installs will fall to the householder. DJB Installs may facilitate an onsite visit for inspection and/or determination, but the cost burden will remain with the householder unless it is proven that the work is below standard.

In these instances, DJB Installs will issue the customer with a quotation for the initial visit or any other legitimate expense.

The customer will be required to sign a declaration and pay a deposit before the investigation commences/any visit is undertaken.

If it is shown that DJB Installs was not at fault, the customer will be required to pay any outstanding amount within ten days. If, however, it is shown that DJB Installs was at fault, the deposit will be refunded.

Complaints Policy – Roof Repairs/Damage

This policy clarification has been developed/amended in consultation with our consumer code body.

DJB Installs will honour and provide the appropriate workmanship warranties for aspects of its installation. However, for Solar or other installs that may affect external roofs we issue this clarification.

All defects including below standard workmanship, leaks or other issues need to be reported within a month of DJB Installs leaving site. After a month or 3 weather events (rainfall/snow/hail/other), if nothing is reported it is fair to assume that the work has been carried out to standard (other than cosmetic issues). Thus, DJB Installs will presume everything relating to the install was compliant and in good order.

Should issues arise, the burden of proof regarding sub-standard installs will fall to the householder. DJB Installs may facilitate scaffolding and other items for inspection and/or determination but the cost burden will remain with the householder unless it is proven that the work is below standard.

In these instances, DJB Installs will issue the customer with a quotation for the scaffolding or any other legitimate expense.

The customer will be required to sign a declaration and pay a deposit before the investigation commences/the scaffolding is erected.

If it is shown that DJB Installs was not at fault, the customer will be required to pay any outstanding amount within ten days. If, however, it is shown that DJB Installs was at fault, the deposit will be refunded.
