Patio Cleaning in Hampshire & West Sussex

Patios take a constant battering from the British weather, and over time, algae, moss, and grime build up in the porous surface of natural stone, concrete, and paving slabs. Beyond looking unsightly, this buildup can make patios dangerously slippery, especially during wet weather. Our patio cleaning service restores outdoor spaces to a clean, safe, and inviting finish.
At CPC Services Group, we clean patios for homeowners, businesses, and holiday parks across Hampshire and West Sussex, using the right method for every surface type.
What We Clean
- Natural stone patios (sandstone, limestone, slate)
- Concrete and composite paving
- Block paving
- Patio joints and pointing
- Decorative or textured paving surfaces

Advantages & Disadvantages of Patio Cleaning
Advantages:
- Removes slip hazards – algae and moss buildup make patios dangerously slippery, especially in wet or shaded areas
- Restores natural colour and texture – years of grime buildup can be lifted to reveal the original stone or paving finish
- Improves outdoor usability – a clean patio is far more inviting for relaxing, entertaining, or family use
- Boosts kerb appeal and property value perception – especially important for gardens visible from the street or used in property listings
- Can be paired with driveway or exterior cleaning for a complete outdoor refresh in one visit
Considerations:
- Jointing and pointing may need attention – heavily soiled joints can sometimes require additional treatment or re-sanding after cleaning
- Older or worn stone may show its age more clearly once grime is removed, revealing wear that was previously masked
- Regrowth is natural – algae and moss will return over time in damp, shaded areas, so periodic cleaning is recommended
- Weather dependent – cleaning is best carried out in dry conditions for the best results and faster drying time
Our Process
- Assessment – We identify the paving material and the right cleaning method to avoid damage.
- Preparation – Furniture, plants, and surrounding areas are cleared or protected.
- Cleaning – Pressure washing or soft washing is used depending on the surface, lifting moss, algae, and staining.
- Joint & Detail Clean – Edges, joints, and awkward corners are given extra attention.
- Final Rinse & Inspection – The area is rinsed clean and checked for a fully finished result.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should patios be cleaned?
Most patios benefit from cleaning once a year, or every 12–18 months for less shaded, drier areas.
Will cleaning damage my patio slabs?
No — we assess the material first and use the appropriate method and pressure level to clean safely without causing damage.
Can you also clean the joints between slabs?
Yes — joint and detail cleaning is included as part of a thorough patio clean.
Do I need to move my furniture?
It’s helpful if lightweight furniture and pots are moved beforehand, but our team can also assist with clearing the area if needed.
