Check if you’re an SES Business Water customer

Most businesses in England have been able to choose which company (known as a retailer) supplies their water services since 2017.  If you were a SES Water business customer and have not switched your retail service provider, you will now be served by SES Business Water. Details on how to contact your retailer can be found on the Open Water website.

Wholesale Service Desk

We have a Wholesale Service Desk dedicated to liaising with retailers. We aim to deliver excellent customer service to both business customers and retailers and will manage the communication of planned and unplanned work to ensure retailers are kept informed.

Our team also supports retailers to establish contracts and offer ongoing support throughout the contract period. They offer advice on internal processes, conducting periodic performance reviews, escalating issues when required and recommending improvement initiatives. The team can also advise on the additional services we offer such as meter reading or obtaining meter data from loggers.

Minimum standards of service

Water and wastewater customers are entitled to guaranteed minimum standards of service, as laid down by the UK Government in England and the Welsh Government in Wales. These rights are known as the guaranteed standards scheme (GSS). Where a retailer or wholesaler fails to meet any of these standards of service then it is required to make a specified payment to the affected customer.
