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.
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
Uneven passes leave a striped result, clean strips next to dirty ones. On a driveway, every line shows.
What changes
We treat the stains, clean evenly, then seal if you want it.
Stains treated first, then cleaned evenly. Sealing available.
Pre-treatment for oil and mould
Oil and mould are treated before the clean, so stains lift instead of getting pushed around.
Even, lap-free finish
We clean evenly across the driveway, with no stripes or 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.

Quote factors
What affects driveway cleaning pricing in Newcastle?
Surface type, staining, size and optional sealing all affect the quote.
- Concrete, pavers, aggregate and stencilled finishes need different pressure
- Oil, lichen and tyre marks need treatment before washing
- A high-quality driveway clean should not leave stripes or lap marks
- Sealing is quoted separately when it suits the surface
Free quotes within 24 hours. Sealing needs a dry surface, so we time it with the weather.
Common questions
- What affects a driveway cleaning quote?
- Surface type, size, staining and optional sealing all matter. VASKE uses the right equipment so the driveway dries evenly without lines or surface damage.
- 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 is done right. We use the correct pressure for the finish, so there is no etching or stripe 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.
