We are extremely dissatisfied with our experience with Castle Water.
We moved into our business premises in 2025 and, despite being responsible for the water at the property, we did not appear to receive any bills or correspondence from Castle Water. We therefore had no idea who the water supplier was.
we eventually received a large bill covering a number of periods, which we paid in full for whole year bill in fact in advance for until 31/03/2026 after receiving correct period of bills on 12th Nov 2025 we paid as per bill received on 8 Nov 2025 £203.81 and again bill generated on 11/11/2025 £406.71 paid whole bill on 02/12/2025 and still charged £105 as late payment fee
We have now received another bill which includes over £101 in collection charges. total bills without any water usage is £206. in fact whole bill covers up to 31.03.2026 and paid in full still charging late payment fee.
We have never deliberately avoided paying our water bills. In fact, our history shows that whenever a bill has actually reached us, we have paid it. We have also already made a £200 payment towards the current water charges.
We are now formally disputing the additional collection charges and have asked Castle Water, but no respond or communication from castle water with clear answer.
We are happy to pay legitimate water charges, but we do not believe it is fair to add hundreds of pounds in collection charges when there appears to have been a serious issue with the billing and communication process.
We hope Castle Water will investigate this properly and resolve the matter fairly.

I spoke on the telephone today with Jamie Hulme, who was professional and polite at all times.
Jamie was very helpful in resolving my issue and I finished the call feeling a lot less stressed than beforehand. Great customer service.

Ewan was a great help when I received an unexpectedly rather high bill. He looked into it thoroughly for me and realised there had been an error and went about rectifying it. Great work and communication.

My queries were answered swiftly and very efficiently by Sarah Byers in an online chat. She advised me on steps I could take to check whether I do have a water leak which is what I suspect and also advice regarding my invoice.

We are extremely dissatisfied with our experience with Castle Water.
We moved into our business premises in 2023 and, despite being responsible for the water at the property, we did not appear to receive any bills or correspondence from Castle Water. We therefore had no idea who the water supplier was.
In 2024, we eventually received a large bill covering a number of periods, which we paid. The same thing happened again in 2025, and we paid that bill as well. As this appeared to be the way Castle Water was billing us, we assumed they were simply billing periodically.
We have now received another bill which includes over £400 in collection charges.
What is particularly concerning is that we have discovered that Castle Water appears to have the wrong town and postcode recorded against our account. This raises serious questions about where the invoices and payment reminders were actually being sent.
We have never deliberately avoided paying our water bills. In fact, our history shows that whenever a bill has actually reached us, we have paid it. We have also already made a £200 payment towards the current water charges.
We are now formally disputing the additional collection charges and have asked Castle Water to explain why we were not receiving regular bills, where the invoices and reminders were sent, why our address details were incorrect, and how they believe these substantial collection charges are justified.
We are happy to pay legitimate water charges, but we do not believe it is fair to add hundreds of pounds in collection charges when there appears to have been a serious issue with the billing and communication process.
We hope Castle Water will investigate this properly and resolve the matter fairly.
