The Rainkeeper
Rain caught, water bill spared
Your roof and patio shed thousands of litres a year. Catch some of it and a hosepipe ban gets smaller — and so does a metered water bill.
Rainfall: Met Office regional averages (1991–2020). Water price: typical metered supply + sewerage. Indicative until they join the monthly checks.

The paving angle
A sealed patio sheds its rain to the drains. If you're paving a front garden over 5 m², the rules want that rain kept on your land — permeable joints, a border, or a soakaway. In a dry summer, caught water is the cheapest hosepipe there is.
