Business Water Comparison

If your business is based in England or Scotland, you will be eligible to switch your supplier. Northern Ireland-based businesses cannot switch. Businesses in Wales can switch, but only if they use over 50 megalitres of water a year.

Once you’ve looked through our comparison pages and decided on a new supplier, sit back and we’ll handle the rest. You will receive confirmation once the switch has happened, then a final bill from your previous retailer and a first bill from your new one.

Switching supplier won’t cost you unless you need to buy out of your previous contract.

Nope! You’re only changing retailer, not supply.

It takes roughly 28 days to switch water provider, including a ‘cooling off’ period for your previous retailer. This does depend on how many sites your business has.

The easiest way to find your water supplier is to find a recent bill. Once you find a copy, we’ll be able to tell you whether you could benefit from switching.

If you can’t find a recent bill, it is likely you are still being serviced by the regional water supplier for your area. If you’re still uncertain, the Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) have a handy water supplier map by region.

To find out specific charges for your business you should contact your water company.

You’ll be charged either for the amount of water you use, plus a set charge if you’re on a meter, or you’ll pay a set amount based on the value of your commercial property.

Water bills are split between water usage and waste water services. You may use a company for one, the other, or both.

Business water bills vary depending on the size of your company, your commercial location, and your water usage. We can review your bill and find the best quotes for your business needs.

Get in touch with your water retailer and they should be able to amend your bill.

Check your supplier’s terms and conditions pages. Are there any additional charges or extras you’re paying for? Do you need to paying them? Get in touch with your supplier to see if they can amend them, otherwise it may be time to switch.

If you’re not in a contract, use our water comparison service to find the best deal for you.

If you believe you’ve not been charged in accordance with your supplier’s terms but can’t get out of your contract or are seeking a refund, you should contact the Consumer Council for Water for advice.

Audit your facilities to identify any areas you could improve your water usage. Can you reduce the flow of water, replace equipment with more water-efficient alternatives, or educate your employees on the importance of low water usage?

If you think your retailer is charging too much, use our water comparison service to find out if you can get a better deal.
