Castle Water

Castle water as a company we do not like but the staff we normally speak to go above and beyond to try and help the situation. We spoke to Christopher today and he was more the helpful, he tried every which way to try and get our bill sorted including getting onto his manager and trying to reduce our charges.
A credit to the company.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📞☺️Had to phone Castle water today due to issues I was having with my bill linked to my dyslexia and organisation.
Francesca, was very supportive to me and patient while I had to try and reset my account and ended up supporting by sending a link. She listened and help explain the situation and help find ways to support me now and going forward,

Really very kind and understanding and didn’t make me feel stupid for my errors. Definitely her customer service is worth a five star review. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Shameless

Shameless. They do not accept or ignore complaints, even from established utility agents. Caste Water add daily interest on to unjustifed created charges. Daily telephone harassment and final demand letters with no-reply for an empty mixed use property with no water use. Meter reads and photos supplied.
This is for a property owned by a long established limited company, and despite requests not, continues to include an officers full name in their demands.

I have been a Castle Water customer since 2019

I have been a Castle Water customer since 2019. My email address changed, and important communications continued to be sent to my old email. I received no SMS, no phone call and no letter that reached me warning that my account was seriously overdue. Instead, the balance was allowed to increase until it was referred to a debt collection agency, which was the first time I became aware of the issue. I immediately contacted Castle Water, offered to pay the outstanding balance in full and requested that the additional late payment and debt recovery charges be reviewed as a goodwill gesture. Despite this, my request was refused twice without any consideration of the circumstances. Very disappointing customer service and poor communication.

Hello Kaya,

Thank you for leaving us a review and sharing your concerns.

To ensure customers receive important account communications, it is important that contact details are kept up to date. Where an email address remains active, we are unable to know that a customer would prefer correspondence to be sent to a different address unless we are made aware of the change.

This is currently being reviewed by our team who are further investigating your account concerns and should be in touch shortly.

Good customer service from Francesca Cafolia and Castle Water as a new client

I contacted Castle Water as a new customer having recently taken over a shop in Surrey. I spoke with Francesca Cafolla who was kind, understanding and professional in her dealings with me. I subsequently received a couple of emails to register and set up our online account all of which seems good. Francesca also advised that if I provided meter readings, it would make our bills accurate. Thank for your customer service both Francesca and Castle Water. 27th July 2026

I have had countless issues with my…

I have had countless issues with my most recent bill. I have set up direct debits on 3 occasions now, been assured all have been successful but my direct debit still doesn’t appear to be set up.
I have tried to pay my bill probably around 20 times on multiple different days but each time there has been issues out of my control (usually just inexplicable faults on the website). I ended up with a late charge but thankfully they were kind enough to remove this when I called to explain the situation. However I have now just had a letter to say I will be being visited by debt collection services.
I am very fed up with this company, who already charge me an extortionate amount for a very small amount of water that I use. I would not recommend.
