Oil and tyre marks that stay put
Engine oil and hot-tyre marks soak into concrete. A plain pressure pass leaves them sitting there, darker than the rest of the slab.
Driveway cleaning
A grey, stained driveway drags the whole front of the house down.
Concrete, pavers, exposed aggregate and stencilled drives across Newcastle and the Hunter. We lift oil, mould and tyre marks with the right detergent and pressure, then seal the surface if you want it to stay clean longer.

The usual problem
A quick hose-down doesn't shift what's actually staining the concrete.
Mould and lichen on shaded sections
The side that never sees sun goes black and slippery. Without treatment it grows straight back after a rinse.
Patchy, lap-marked finish
Cheap operators rush and leave a striped result, clean strips next to dirty ones. On a driveway, every line shows.
How we work
We treat the stains, clean evenly, then seal if you want it.
We pre-treat oil and mould so they actually lift, clean in overlapping passes for an even finish, and offer sealing to keep the surface looking clean and easier to maintain.
Pre-treatment for oil and mould
The right degreaser and mould treatment before we clean, so stains come up instead of getting pushed around.
Even, lap-free finish
Overlapping passes and a surface cleaner attachment mean no stripes, no missed strips down the middle.
Sealing to protect the result
Optional seal on concrete, pavers and aggregate to resist oil and mould and make the next clean easier.

“Driveway in Belmont was covered in oil and black mould down one side. VASKE got it back to near new and sealed it. Looks like a different house from the street now.”

Common questions
- How much does driveway cleaning cost in Newcastle?
- Standard driveways often start around $250–$450. Larger areas and heavy staining cost more. Send a photo and your suburb for a confirmed price before booking.
- Can you remove oil stains from concrete?
- Most of the time, yes. We pre-treat with a degreaser so the oil lifts. Old, deep stains may lighten rather than vanish completely, and we'll tell you that upfront from the photos.
- Should I seal my driveway after cleaning?
- It's worth it on concrete, pavers and aggregate. A seal resists oil and mould, keeps the colour, and makes the next clean much easier. We can do it in the same booking.
- Will pressure washing damage the concrete?
- Not when it's done right. We use a surface cleaner and the correct pressure for the finish, so there's no etching or lap marks on the slab.
- How long before the driveway can be used again?
- A cleaned driveway is fine once it dries, usually a couple of hours. If we seal it, keep cars off for 24 hours so the coat cures properly.
