A little bit of a wait on the phone before i spoke to somebody, but overall the gentleman serving me was very helpful, very clear, and very friendly.

Disgusting treatment by their representative (sadly I didnt get a name) and absolutely zero resolution. Avoid at all costs. I took over a business which had an account with Castle Water and they have been an absolute nightmare to deal with ever since. I have just called to try and understand why a payment was taken without authorisation and I spoke to one of the rudest staff members I have ever had to deal with. She kept interupting me as I tried to explain what had happened historically, and then accused me of interupting her and being rude. I hadnt even been able to complete a sentence. She then put the phone down on me. This is after 15 minutes of being on hold. At no point was my voice raised or was I being rude. Utterly disgraceful. There is no resolution. All I want to do is get the account paid off so I can leave this company once and for all.

I had a great experience dealing with Sarah Byers. She was extremely helpful, accommodating, and took the time to answer all of my questions clearly and thoroughly.
Sarah explained the billing and liability position in detail, ensuring I understood why the account had been opened, who was responsible for the charges, and how the water supply was linked to the property. She was knowledgeable, patient, and made what could have been a complicated issue very straightforward.
Most importantly, she resolved the issue quickly and efficiently. Her excellent customer service and willingness to help were greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Sarah, for your professionalism and support.

I was put through quickly to an agent, Kelseigh Clark, who helped direct my query to the relevant department.

After a long struggle to understand the reason why our direct debit was cancelled the team at Castle Water finally sorted it out with us. It is impossible to explain how complicated it was. Rachel Shaw Jamie, Robert and Tyler are just a few of the team whose names I recall but everyone pulled the stops out to help.

Sarah (Byers) was extremely helpful and patient with my many questions. She went out of her way to find out solution and see if she could overcome my issues. While not all were resolvable, I felt I could go back in the future and ask again when i had more details.

I have been a Business owner for 11 years. My interaction with Utility companies is almost always negative. Not this time however. After replacing a faulty water meter, Castle Water recalculated our bills in favour of us (the customer) and credited our account accordingly. Super trustworthy. Well done Castle Water. And thankyou to Rhys who handled the issue very professionally and was a fantastic help.

We contacted Castle Water to discuss our account following the receipt of an invoice which we could not fully understand, we spoke with Patricia Furie, Patricia advised us that the account had to be re-billed & re-credited due to a change in water services back in march, Patricia provided us with a full credit summary and an additional e-mail following the call giving us a explanation, Patricia was super professional & super patient, she's a credit to the Castle Water team

I got a problem with direct debit set up unsuccessfully without knowing that I got fine from Castle water. Luckily Mitchell and Craig McWalter help me sorted out the bills quickly as I reached them. Thank you.

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with my experience with Castle Water. The level of customer service I have received has been extremely poor, and I feel that customers are not being treated with the level of care, understanding, or professionalism that they deserve.
Trying to resolve issues with Castle Water has been unnecessarily stressful and time-consuming. When you contact customer service, you expect to receive clear information, proper assistance, and a genuine effort to resolve the problem. Unfortunately, my experience has been the complete opposite. I have found the communication and support to be very disappointing, leaving me feeling frustrated rather than helped.
What makes the situation even worse is the addition of late payment charges. I understand that bills need to be paid, but when there are issues with communication, account management, or resolving queries, adding extra charges only makes an already frustrating situation even worse. Customers should be given proper support and a fair opportunity to resolve any outstanding issues before being hit with additional charges.
I strongly believe that Castle Water needs to seriously improve its customer service and be more understanding and transparent when dealing with customers. It should not be this difficult or stressful to get a straightforward issue resolved, and customers should not feel like they are being ignored or simply passed from one department to another.
Overall, this has been an extremely disappointing experience. The poor customer service combined with the additional late payment charges has left me very unhappy with the way I have been treated. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Castle Water to others. I sincerely hope the company takes customer feedback seriously and makes significant improvements to the way it handles customer queries, communication, and payment issues.

Lack of communication and absolutely no empathy. This has been the worst experience I’ve had with any company. For the first time, I felt completely helpless.
After reading the Google reviews, I now understand why so many people shared similar experiences. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of choosing this company.
For me, customer service is one of the most important aspects of any business, and theirs is extremely poor. The lack of communication, empathy, and support throughout the process has been extremely disappointing.
To make matters worse, I received another call today asking me to make a payment, even though the payment had already been made and a plan of action was supposedly in place. This clearly shows a complete lack of internal communication and professionalism.
Based on my experience, I would not recommend this company.
