Your driveway is one of the first things visitors and passers-by see, yet it’s often the most neglected part of a property. Oil stains, tyre marks, moss, and general grime build up over time, leaving even a well-kept home looking tired from the kerb. Our driveway cleaning service restores driveways to a clean, presentable finish, removing years of buildup safely and effectively.
At CPC Services Group, we clean driveways for homeowners, businesses, and holiday parks across Hampshire and West Sussex.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Driveway Cleaning
Advantages:
- Removes moss, algae, and grime that build up in porous paving and block joints
- Lifts oil and tyre stains that make a driveway look permanently dirty
- Reduces slip hazards caused by algae buildup in wet weather
- Instantly improves kerb appeal – often one of the most noticeable transformations on a property
- Extends the life of paving by preventing long-term staining and surface wear
Considerations:
- Deep-set oil stains may lighten significantly but aren’t always fully removable depending on how long they’ve been present
- Joint sand may need topping up after cleaning block paving, as high-pressure water can dislodge jointing sand
- Regrowth over time – moss and algae will return in damp, shaded driveways, so periodic cleaning is recommended
- Weather dependent – cleaning is best carried out in dry conditions for faster drying and better results
Our Process
- Assessment – We identify the driveway material and the right cleaning approach.
- Preparation – Vehicles are moved and surrounding areas protected where needed.
- Cleaning – Pressure washing lifts moss, algae, oil marks, and general grime from the surface.
- Joint Care – Block paving joints are cleaned thoroughly, with re-sanding available if required.
- Final Rinse & Inspection – The driveway is rinsed clean and checked for a fully finished result.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should driveways be cleaned?
Most driveways benefit from cleaning once a year, or every 12–18 months for less shaded areas.
Can you remove oil stains completely?
Older or deeply set oil stains may lighten significantly but aren’t always fully removable — we’ll give an honest assessment before starting work.
Will cleaning remove the sand from my block paving joints?
High-pressure cleaning can dislodge some jointing sand, which we can top up and re-sand as part of the service if needed.
Do I need to move my car during cleaning?
Yes, vehicles will need to be moved from the driveway while cleaning takes place.
