Our resolution process

Our complaint resolution service is free and is set out below. If you are not happy with how we resolve your complaint you can contact Utilities Disputes Limited which is also a free service.

We will:

  • Acknowledge your complaint within 2 working days
  • Enter your complaint into our database so that we can record, track and monitor your complaint through to resolution
  • Contact you with an update on your complaint if we have not resolved it within 7 days
  • Strive to resolve all complaints within a maximum of 20 days

We will contact you again should your complaint not be resolved within 20 days, to update and explain to you why we have been unable to resolve your complaint and will advise you if we require more time to resolve your complaint.

We will advise you if your complaint needs to be referred to a third party, for example a metering or network company.
