Scottish Water Brokers: Helping Businesses Take Control of Their Water Costs

We make business water simple. If you own or run a company in Scotland, you don’t need to struggle with confusing tariffs, unclear bills, or complex supplier options. We help you understand your choices, reduce your costs, and manage water in a way that supports your business for the long term.

Welcome to Scotland’s Open Water Market

Since 2008, Scotland has operated an open water market. This means businesses are free to choose who supplies their water and wastewater retail services. The aim is simple: give customers more choice, better service, and the ability to find the best deal for their needs. Yet many businesses still don’t take advantage of this. Why? Because the market can feel complicated. Different suppliers offer different tariffs, contracts use unfamiliar terms, and it’s hard to know whether you’re truly getting the best value.

That’s where Scottish Water Brokers comes in. We act as a friendly guide. We don’t sell water ourselves – instead, we help you navigate the market with confidence. Whether you’re a finance director looking for cost certainty, a business owner wanting to cut unnecessary spend, or a facilities manager dealing with high consumption, we make sure you know your options and choose what works best.

Why Water Costs Matter to Your Business

For high-volume users, water is a major line in the budget. Manufacturing, food production, distilleries, and heavy industry all rely on secure, consistent supply. Yet too often, companies treat water like a fixed cost, something they can’t change. The reality is very different. With the right approach, it’s possible to:

• Reduce overall spend by securing fairer tariffs
• Spot and fix billing errors that drain budget
• Plan ahead by locking in predictable contract terms
• Improve efficiency and reduce waste across operations
• Stay compliant with trade effluent and environmental standards

These are not small wins. For many companies, making the right supplier choice can mean tens or even hundreds of thousands of pounds saved every year. And beyond the numbers, it means peace of mind: knowing your business is on the right contract, with a reliable partner, and without hidden surprises.

What We Do for You

Our role is simple: we help you manage your water in a way that saves money and avoids hassle. That starts with listening. We want to know how your business uses water, what issues you’ve faced with suppliers in the past, and what matters most to you now. From there, we provide straightforward, step-by-step support:

• Review – We take a close look at your bills, usage, and current contract. We check for errors and highlight opportunities to improve.
• Compare – We explain how different licensed providers stack up. You’ll see side-by-side comparisons so you can make an informed choice.
• Switch – If you want to move to a new supplier, we guide you through the process so it’s smooth and stress-free.
• Support – We’re here to help with ongoing issues like new connections, trade effluent compliance, and efficiency upgrades.

You’re never left guessing. We explain things in plain language, we’re transparent about what’s possible, and we always put your business first. Our goal is to make sure water is something you never have to worry about again.

Who We Help

We focus on businesses in Scotland that use significant volumes of water. If you’re a small office with a single tap, your gains will be limited. But if you run a factory, warehouse, food producer, or industrial site, the potential is much greater. We often work with:

• Manufacturers – Water is vital for cooling, cleaning, and production.
• Food & Drink Producers – Breweries, distilleries, and food processors rely on consistent, high-quality supply.
• Healthcare & Education – Hospitals, care facilities, and universities with large-scale usage need reliable service.
• Hospitality – Hotels, leisure centres, and large venues can benefit from efficiency and better contracts.
• Public Sector – Councils and government sites can achieve savings and compliance through smarter management.

Simple, Transparent Process

You don’t need to be an expert in water contracts – that’s our job. We guide you step by step, without jargon. Here’s what happens when you get in touch:

• Quick Review – Send us your latest bill or details of your current supplier.
• Clear Report – We highlight savings, risks, and opportunities in plain English.
• Action Plan – Together, we agree the next steps: stay, switch, or upgrade.
• Ongoing Support – We’re here for questions, issues, or future projects.

It’s as simple as that. No pressure, no sales pitch – just clear advice so you can make the best decision for your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to switch supplier to save money?
Not always. Sometimes we find savings within your current arrangement. The key is knowing your options.

Will switching disrupt my water supply?
No. Switching is an administrative process – your physical water supply stays the same, so there’s no interruption.

How much can I expect to save?
It depends on your usage and contract. Some businesses save a few thousand a year; others save six figures. We’ll show you a clear estimate upfront.

Is this only for large businesses?
We specialise in high-volume users because the impact is greater. But if you’re mid-sized with growing usage, it may still be worth reviewing.

What does it cost to work with you?
Our advice is transparent. We’ll explain any fees clearly before you make a decision – no surprises.
