Business water retail, made competitive
Since the market opened in 2017, eligible businesses in England can choose who retails their water. We help you make that choice count.
- Open-market switching
- Licensed retailers compared
- Single and multi-site
- Water and wastewater retail
Since April 2017, eligible businesses in England have been free to choose their water retailer rather than defaulting to the regional incumbent. Scotland has had an open market since 2008. That choice is where the value sits: the wholesale cost of water is set by the regulator, but retailers compete on price and service.
We compare licensed water retailers to find the right fit for your business, then handle the switch. There is no change to your actual water supply or pipework. The water reaching your premises is exactly the same. Only the company that bills and services your account changes.
Savings on water are usually more modest than on energy, because the wholesale cost is regulated. The difference is on the retail side. We make sure you are on a competitive contract with a retailer that suits your business, rather than defaulting to your regional supplier.
What you get when we manage your energy
Whole-of-market comparison
We compare the licensed water retailers across the open market, so your contract reflects real competition rather than your regional incumbent's default.
We handle the switch
Choose an option and we manage the changeover with the retailer. There is no interruption to your supply and no work on your pipes.
No supply disruption
Switching changes only who bills and services your account. The water reaching your premises comes through the same network, exactly as before.
Single or multi-site
Whether you run one site or many, we compare the market for each and handle the switches, so multi-site businesses get competitive water contracts without chasing each one.
