Irrespective of whether we can or not, it wouldnt be a normal relaxed day out on the glass, i would feel there's a row waiting round every corner, were talking about the general public here and someones bound to say something at some time. quite probably passers by not even customers.

We have had hose pipe bans in the past  and just continue as normal, some have questioned it but we just explain it doesn’t apply to us and if they are concerned check with the water authorities and the HSE  here’s our company details give them a card  so it showed we are open about what we are doing never had a problem.

Yep, having a prepared response gives confidence.

Same. Never ever had a problem.

Only issues I've seen are on this forums.   Happens every year 🤣

I've worked loads of times during hose pipe bans over the years and gave it very little thought.  I might have had the odd remark from customers or passers-by  but I soon put them straight.

Never ever have I  been fearful of "a row around every corner!"🤣

I don't care what other people think or say on the matter.



We're not all thick skinned like you,  ;D

Another new customer today who’s not had their windows cleaned in years. Absolutely minging, filthy, would’ve been like it for a long time.

Hire window cleaner and suddenly every last minuscule bit of dust because a huge issue.

Stood watching me, moaning, questioning, doubting, patronising.

Won’t be going back, someone else can suffer her 🤯

My sympathies. You will get a better response if you post in Window Cleaning Issues.

As long as they aren’t going to charge you per transaction better to just suck it up. Let’s say it’s around £10 per month ( tax deductible ) it’s not gonna ‘ break the bank ‘ so to speak😉

One of the local newspapers reported the conditions of hose pipe use with the Yorkshire hose pipe ban by Yorkshire water.

They specifically mentioned the cleaning of windows with a hose pipe was forbidden under the ban. No clarification was to whether it was the homeowner or a window cleaner who was banned from cleaning windows with a hose pipe.

Even I was confused by the wording of the report, knowing how previous bans didn't apply to businesses.


Have a look at the HSE website spruce it says some ware  that hose pipe bans don’t affect window cleaners as it’s a health and safety issue the only thing that could affect us is a drought order but even then depending what you are cleaning if it’s classed as as a safety issue it’s  still ok .
