The right method for path cleaning
We choose the technique to suit the surface — soft washing or chemical-free steam where pressure would do harm, controlled pressure washing where it won't. That's how path cleaning gets a lasting result without damage.
Stops damage before it costs you
Left to spread, moss, algae and lichen trap moisture against your roof, walls and surfaces and shorten their life. Regular cleaning is the cheaper, greener way to stay ahead of remedial building work.
Certified biocide treatments
Fully certified to disinfect and prevent regrowth, applied with minimal impact on occupants, pets and wildlife.

Paths & walkways
Paths take a quiet beating — foot traffic, fallen leaves, rain and the damp salt air off the coast leave them green, streaked and slippery long before you notice. We bring them back. Our path cleaning strips the algae, moss and ingrained grime off paved, slabbed and brick walkways so they look cared for again and, just as importantly, are safe underfoot. We see every kind across Chichester and the Witterings:
Paved & slabbed paths — the front-garden and side-return paths we clean most often; grime and algae lifted off the surface and out of the joints.
Brick & flagstone paths — older, softer surfaces cleaned at a gentler, controlled pressure so nothing is damaged.
Garden & boundary paths — the shaded, mossy runs down the side of the house that grow slipperiest in the coastal damp.
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.
Concrete & block surfaces
Solid hard surfaces — concrete walkways, yards, thresholds and block-paved runs — collect the most stubborn black algae and ingrained dirt of all, and they take a firmer, even wash to strip it back:
Concrete paths & yards — the black streaking and green film washed back to clean, bare concrete.
Block-paved surfaces — grime, moss and weeds cleared from the surface and out of every joint.
Salt & sand grime — the fine film the sea air leaves on every hard surface near Selsey and Bracklesham, rinsed away to bring the colour back.
Courtyards & terraces
Enclosed courtyards, rear terraces and sheltered side passages are some of our most-requested hard-surface jobs, and for good reason: being shaded and slow to dry, they grow algae faster than anywhere else around the house. We clean them carefully — matching the pressure to brick, flagstone or paving — so the space is clean, even-toned and safe to walk again. It is work we do right across the harbour villages, from city courtyards in Chichester to coastal terraces out at West Wittering and East Wittering. If your patio needs the same care, see our dedicated patio cleaning, or for the drive, our driveway cleaning.
Areas we cover
We clean paths, concrete and courtyards right across Chichester and the harbour villages: Chichester (PO18, PO19), West Wittering, East Wittering, Bracklesham, Birdham, Itchenor and Selsey (PO20), out to Bognor Regis (PO21, PO22) and Emsworth (PO10) on the Hampshire border. A clean path is also a safer one — clearing the moss and algae takes the slip hazard away through the wet West Sussex winters.

A few short clips from real jobs across Chichester & the harbour villages — the soft-wash method matched to the surface, done properly and tidied up after.
Do you clean paths and hard surfaces across Chichester and the harbour villages?
Yes. Path and hard-surface cleaning is one of our everyday jobs right across Chichester (PO18, PO19) and the harbour villages — West Wittering, East Wittering, Bracklesham, Birdham, Itchenor and Selsey (PO20) — out to Bognor Regis (PO21/PO22) and Emsworth (PO10) on the Hampshire border. If you are nearby, just ask.
What kinds of paths and hard surfaces can you pressure wash?
All the common ones we see around Chichester and the Witterings — paved and slabbed paths, concrete walkways and yards, block-paved courtyards, brick and flagstone terraces, and the steps and thresholds in between. We match the pressure to the surface so a soft old flagstone is never blasted as hard as a solid concrete path.
Will cleaning my path make it less slippery?
In almost every case, yes. Most of what makes a path treacherous is the green algae and moss film that builds up in the damp salt air near the Witterings and Selsey. Clearing it off is exactly what takes the slip hazard away, which matters most on shaded coastal paths and steps through the wet West Sussex winters.
Do you clean courtyards and terraces as well as paths?
Yes — enclosed courtyards, rear terraces and side passages are some of our most-requested hard-surface jobs around Chichester city and the harbour villages. These shaded, sheltered spots grow algae fastest, so they often benefit most from a proper clean.
How often should paths and hard surfaces be cleaned on the West Sussex coast?
Most Chichester paths benefit from a clean every one to two years, but the damp salt air near the Witterings and Selsey grows moss and algae faster, so coastal and shaded paths often need it yearly to stay clear and safe underfoot. We are happy to advise when we quote.
