FAQ · Hosepipe ban
Can you still clean my patio or driveway during a hosepipe ban?
Yes.
Professional exterior cleaning carried out as part of a business is exempt under the current hosepipe restrictions in our area, so we can continue carrying out booked work as normal.
If you've already booked with Power Wash Pro, your appointment will go ahead as planned. And if you're thinking of booking, we're still taking on new patio, driveway, render and gutter work across Thame and the surrounding villages.
We use professional equipment and work efficiently to minimise water usage while delivering outstanding results. Our vans carry their own water supply, so we don't draw from your household tap during the ban.
How we keep water use low
Professional kit uses far less than a garden hose.
- Rotary surface cleaners focus the water into a sealed head, so we clean faster and with far less waste than an open hose.
- Soft-washing relies on professional cleaning solutions rather than volume — render and roof jobs use only a low-pressure application.
- We work efficiently and only run water while actively cleaning — no hose left trickling in the background.

Hosepipe ban — your questions
Am I allowed to have my patio or driveway cleaned during the hosepipe ban?
Yes. Professional exterior cleaning carried out as part of a business is exempt from the current hosepipe restrictions in our area. You're not breaching the ban by having us clean your patio, driveway, render or gutters.
Will my booking still go ahead?
Yes. If you've already booked with Power Wash Pro, your appointment will go ahead on the day and time we agreed. We'll only get in touch if the weather forces a reschedule.
Can I still book a new job during the ban?
Absolutely — we're still taking bookings and providing quotes for patios, driveways, render, gutters, fascias and soffits across Thame, Marlow, Beaconsfield, Princes Risborough and the surrounding villages.
How do you keep water use down?
We use professional equipment and work efficiently, targeting only the areas that need cleaning so jobs are completed with as little water as possible.
What if the restrictions tighten?
If the exemption ever changes, we'll contact affected customers directly and rearrange at no cost. You won't lose your slot or deposit.
