changes occur (e.g., late or early arrival), a

compensation payment will be given to the

customer. This payment of £30 would be the

responsibility of the supplier.

The supplier will carry out the repair to an expected

standard and if necessary, explain what has been

done to the customer.

calls, emails, letters), visits to properties and works

undertaken will be recorded and reported to NWL

The supplier will be responsible for purchasing and

using good quality plumbing materials.

The supplier will take a meter reading from the
