I've recently moved into East Dulwich. I transferred my Thames Water account to my new address, and I 

have received my bill for the year. But now I've received an email from them saying they'll be out on the 8th

to fit my new smart meter, which was unrequested by me. I can probably refuse but I wanted to check here if

perhaps there was a TW campaign to get these installed in the area? Thank you.

You can't refuse. TW allows you up to a 12 months after installation during which time you can continue with the fixed rate system. Then after 12 months you go on the meter rates regardless.
The one benefit of this is that the meter send readings on an hourly basis and if you have consumption being registered, when you would not expect it,  (such as between 1am and 6am) , they will advise you that you have a leak somewhere and will give an estimate of how much extra this leakage will cost you after you go on the meter rates. 
That way you can fix your lea(s) in advance and save money.
If you cannot find the leak  inside the house, it may be outside underground, between your house and the water meter because your old lead pipe may be leaking. That stretch of pipe is your responsibility. 

Then you can ask them to help you find it and if you play your cards nicely and catch the TW guy on a good day, then TW will replace your old 1" pipe with a new blue 25mm pipe.

    • I have found a ring on Lordship Lane, if you have lost one please get in touch with a description.  Thanks
    • Consultation findings report attached.  GALA Series 2025 consultation findings report.pdf APPENDIX 2 - updated event site map.pdf
    • Very friendly and marginally competitive before placing the order.  During the works, not reliable scheduling and a lot of grunting, huffing and puffing. BUT BEWARE: Living room carpet laid not square to the walls - the edges are cut not following the stitches/pattern and will fray (not correctable without new carpet - given up) Stair carpets edges fraying - not cut and fitted carefully. One bedroom room carpet is not stretched and has a ridge. The Lynoleum floor in the bathroom buckled. Twice made appointments to correct the last 3 faults, twice did not turn up (the van is broken first; in hospital - without being able to confirm location - second time).  Never called back to arrange the visit.  Clearly he was relying on and succeeding in frustrating me to give up.  During the work, 36 hours of silence with the story “I lost my phone”. Much delay in providing the copy of the invoice for the purchase of a specific carpet - as my guarantee for 6 years of moth resistance. Could not provide references from clients but just one estate agent (Luisaat Samuel Estate Agents) claiming he works for agents . YOU MAY CONSIDER KEEPING AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!
