Emma Mills goes an extra mile!

I personally would like to say thank you to Emma Mills, From Costumer projects. She went a huge extra mile! I tried to report water leak for a few times on Friday. But everyone said it’s not they problem. Finally I reported it to my council. Today I received a call from Emma. She was interested how everything goes. It’s not Essex & Suffolk water problem, but she is monitoring this. I’m so happy and thankful for her enthusiasm and help!

Had an issue which was stressing my elderly parents. Once the issue was picked up by customer service - Jen Hitchins, who went over and above her role to get the issue fully resolved. First class service, can’t thank you enough.

Professional and helpful

I have had two occasions to connect Essex and Suffolk water lately...one to take my partners name off the account, as he has passed away, and the second time to request a new outside stop cock to be fitted . On both occassions I found the operator and the engineer extremely professional, knowledgeable, courteous and kind....would recommend them highly if you have the need to contact them. Thank you..

Technician arrived within half an hour of calling. Wasn’t a very straight forward problem but took time and as far as I’m concerned went the extra mile to ensure my water was running again. I received an excellent service.

Paid bill in full but they still left a default on my credit report which will stay for 6 years. My credit score was 'Excellent' and now is 'Poor'. Currently trying to get a mortgage and now has been refused. Tried emailing and contacting CS, however, they all say there's nothing they can do and they will not remove.

Good service!

Had reason to call Essex and Suffolk Water about a bad leak outside the house. The phone was answered promptly and the operator was friendly and the call was dealt with swiftly. Had a visit from them in a short while and the guy was lovely and very reassuring. Leak fixed next day and all was fine!
