Patio Cleaning
Natural stone, porcelain and block patios restored to like-new — lifting blackening, algae and slip hazards. Cleaning only; we don't seal or restore garden furniture.

A driveway takes more punishment than any other surface around your home, and it shows. Years of rain, fallen leaves, tyre rubber and the damp salt air off the coast leave block paving green and slippery, tarmac dull, and concrete streaked with black. We bring it all back. Our driveway and block-paving cleaning rejuvenates tired, discoloured drives so they look close to newly laid — and because different surfaces need different care, we match the pressure to the material:
- Block paving — the most common drive we clean across Chichester and the Witterings; we lift the grime, moss and weeds packed into every joint.
- Tarmac & concrete — solid surfaces that take a firmer wash to strip back the black algae and ingrained dirt.
- Resin-bound & imprinted concrete — decorative finishes cleaned at a gentler, controlled pressure so the surface is never damaged.
- Gravel-edged & mixed drives — cleaned carefully around the loose and the laid so the whole frontage looks cared for.
It is the same surface-appropriate thinking that runs through the wider pressure washing service and our gentler soft washing work — the right method for the material, never one harsh tool for everything.
Moss, weed & oil-stain removal
Most of what makes a driveway look tired lives in the joints and on the surface, and that is exactly what we clear:
- Moss, algae & weeds — lifted out of the block-paving joints and off the surface, which on the damp coastal drives around Selsey and Bracklesham is also what makes them slippery underfoot.
- Oil & tyre marks — treated and lifted wherever we can; we will tell you honestly before we start if a deep, old stain is unlikely to clear completely.
- Salt & sand grime — the fine film the sea air leaves on every driveway near the Witterings, rinsed away to bring the colour back.
Tarmac restoration: tarmac drives don’t just get dirty — the surface itself greys and tires as the sun and salt air weather the binder. Alongside cleaning, we offer a tarmac restoration step that brings faded tarmac back to a rich, even black so the whole drive looks freshly laid. Ask for it when we quote.
A note on what we do and don’t do: on block paving we are a cleaning service. We restore the drive to clean — we do not re-sand block-paving joints or apply sealant. If you would like your drive re-sanded or sealed once it is clean, we are glad to recommend a trusted sealing specialist locally.
Before & after
The difference a proper clean makes to a driveway is hard to overstate — a green, slippery, streaked frontage comes back looking close to the day it was laid, and it lifts the whole look of the house with it. Every job above was a real drive we cleaned across the harbour villages, from block paving in West Wittering to a coastal drive out at East Wittering. A clean driveway is also a safer one: clearing the moss and algae takes the slip hazard away through the wet West Sussex winters.
