Professional and polite

I reached out to Wave to provide moving in information to Wave (the online form for some reason wasn`t reaching Wave so I was advised to call). Andy was extra helpful and exceeded my expectations. I had 4 properties on my list to deal with and Andy helped with all of them actually doing some research for all of them and setting up new accounts with loads of information to be added to the system. Andy deserves a cookie from us! Thank you.

Hello Wave

Fiona telephoned me yesterday and we had a long discussion about my Wave water bilI. Although we did not agree on several points we have reached a compromise and I have accepted a compensation figure to be written off my next bill.
I am still concerned that the water meter is still underwater and I cannot verify the readings and my latest bill is estimated.
Fiona treated me with respect throughout, and listened to my complaint.

Extremely good customer service

We were sent a huge incorrect £4K water bill for our CIC, despite never missing a payment etc. It took so much sorting out and thanks to one of the best costomer service employees i have ever come across (Simon, from wave warer) the whole issue was taken out of my hands while Simon dealt with it. He went above and beyond to take the worry and stress away from me, spent hours going through water readings, contacting various departments and kept me informed of everything that was happening weekly via phone and email. In a world of non-existing good customer service, Simon is a shining example of what proper customer service is, hes an absolute legend and wave water are extremely lucky to have him.
