Excellently helpful female colleagues at Bath Claverdon Down office

The 2 staff I have dealt with recently at the Claverdon Down Bath office (in order to increase water supply feed into a new commercial unit) have been exceptional in:
a) they are able to find the new property online
b) they are able to advise clearly what next steps are , including emailing that department themselves to get the ball rolling
c) rearranged site visit schedule to accommodate my specific needs.
Very impressed with 2 ladies involved (apols didnt note their names!)

Hi Nyasha,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

As your property is fitted with a water meter, your charges are based on the amount of water recorded on the meter. When you contacted us, we explained that the increase in your payments was due to higher water usage being recorded.

We also provided guidance on how to check for any potential leaks at your property. Once you've completed these checks, please give us a call on 0345 600 3 600 so we can discuss the findings and explore the next steps with you.

I understand that Saturdays are the most convenient time for you to contact us, so please note that our Saturday opening hours are 9:00am to 1:00pm.

Please let us know if you need any further support in the meantime.

Thanks, Ben
