Stage 1 — raise it with us directly
First, please give us the opportunity to resolve it. Contact our office:
- Phone: 0191 535 2711 (Mon-Fri 08:00-17:00)
- Email: info@amprenewables.co.uk
- Post: 8 Bede House, Tower Road, Washington, Tyne and Wear, NE37 2SH
Please include: your name, install date, project address, the nature of the concern, and any reference numbers from your contract or invoice.
We will acknowledge your complaint within 2 working days and provide a substantive response within 10 working days. Many concerns are resolved within 5 working days via a return site visit or a phone discussion.
Stage 2 — internal escalation
If you are not satisfied with the initial response from our office team, you can request escalation to the company director (Joe Sheridan, Founder / Lee Sheridan, Director). The director will personally review your case and respond within 10 working days of escalation.
Stage 3 — RECC conciliation (free)
If we have been unable to resolve your concern after 8 weeks (or earlier by mutual agreement), you can refer the dispute to the Renewable Energy Consumer Code (RECC) for free conciliation:
- RECC: www.recc.org.uk
- Email: consumer@recc.org.uk
- Phone: 020 7981 0850
RECC conciliation is free and binding on AMP Renewables. RECC may also escalate to independent arbitration via the Chartered Trading Standards Institute-approved Alternative Dispute Resolution scheme.
Stage 4 — independent regulatory bodies
Depending on the nature of the complaint, you may also contact:
- TrustMark (overall consumer protection): www.trustmark.org.uk
- MCS (technical / product complaints on solar, heat pump, biomass): mcscertified.com
- NICEIC (electrical installation complaints): www.niceic.com
- Gas Safe Register (gas installation complaints): www.gassaferegister.co.uk

Information we'll need
To help us resolve your complaint quickly, please provide:
- Your full name and contact details
- Property address where the install was completed
- Date of installation (or original survey if pre-install)
- Contract reference number (top of your contract)

Deposit + financial protection
As a RECC-member installer, your deposit is protected by independent insurance. If AMP Renewables were unable to complete a contracted install, RECC would refund your deposit. This protection runs in parallel with your statutory consumer rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
