We’re sorry you have no water.
This usually happens because of planned work in your area or because of something unexpected, like a burst pipe.
Here’s what you can do:
Please make the following checks before giving us a call:
1. Check our live map
If your mobile number is registered to your South East Water account, we will automatically keep you up to date via text message with any issues we are aware of in your area. If you wish to register to receive updates for an address different to your own, you can do this from the map.
Check the live map(opens in a new tab) here.
2. Run your cold kitchen tap
Your drinking water usually comes into your home through your cold kitchen tap.
If water comes out of this tap but not anywhere else (like your shower or bathroom), the problem is probably with your pipes inside your home.
If this is the case, you’ll need to contact a plumber.
3. Check your stop valves are open
Your drinking water usually comes into your home through your cold kitchen tap.
If water comes out of this tap but not anywhere else (like your shower or bathroom), the problem is probably with your pipes inside your home.
If this is the case, you’ll need to contact a plumber.
4. Check with your neighbours
If your neighbours don’t have any problems with their water, the problem could be with your internal plumbing inside your home.

If you’ve done all the checks above and you still have no water, please call us on 0333 000 0002(opens in a new tab)
