So, it’s important to know what you can do to check that callers are genuine before you let them in.

Preventing bogus callers
Sadly, more than half the ‘bogus caller’ or ‘doorstep’ crimes in the UK are committed by criminals pretending to be from a water company, or from the 'water board' - which hasn’t existed for more than 30 years! So, it’s important to know what you can do to check that callers are genuine before you let them in.
Always remember:
- Make sure your back door is always locked before answering the front door
- Check to see who is at the door by looking through a window or spy hole
- If you have a door chain, put it on before you open the door
- Our staff always wear a uniform and drive a company van with SES Water printed on the sides and at the back
- Staff always carry an identity card with their photograph, name, logo and number
- Our staff will always be happy to wait for you to check who they are (we are happy for you to call us to double check their identity)
- You can set up a password that our staff will use when visiting you. Find out more about this and other support available through our Helping Hand Scheme
- If you are still not sure, call the police.

Anne Cathie asked almost 2 years agoHi, thank you for your message. This will require us to fit a meter inside your home instead. Our engineers will book a visit to see where best to fit it. While the meter isn't compulsory we will have to put you on a No Access Charge which would increase your bill by 75% if a meter is refused. We really do not want to have to do this so we will be in touch to arrange a meter fitting.
