Oil stains not only mar the appearance of surfaces but also create a potential slip hazard, especially when the build up is heavy or the affected surface gets wet.

Nobody wants to deal with oil stains on their driveway or garage floors. Unfortunately, even well-maintained vehicles can leave behind unsightly oil spots on these surfaces.

Due to the highly absorbent nature of cement, oil quickly penetrates deep into the substrate, resulting in dark stains that are extremely challenging to clean with regular off-the-shelf products.

Moreover, the type of oil that has stained the surface determines the appropriate method for treating and removing the stain. Hydraulic oil, gearbox oil, cooking oil, or carbonised engine oil all require specific treatment and cleaning processes to effectively break down and extract the oil from the substrate.

We often receive requests to clean oil stains after unsuccessful attempts have been made using inadequate treatment methods. These unsuccessful attempts often cause the oil to soak deeper into the substrate, making the stains worse. As a result, this often necessitating multiple treatments with the correct cleaning solution to fully extract the oil stain.

It often only takes one incorrect treatment process to permanently stain many surfaces, so it is crucial to remove oil from the affected substrate as soon as possible to prevent lasting damage.

Whether you’re dealing with minor oil spots on a driveway or a major oil spill on a road or loading dock, our highly skilled technicians can handle the situation.

In the case of large spills, our team will coordinate road or area closures to ensure the safety of traffic and pedestrians. They will also implement systems to contain the oil or spilt substance.

Then using the right treatment process to neutralise the spill, they will begin the clean up process to restore the affected substrate. Lastly, our technicians will pressure clean the area and use vacuum recovery units to collect the waste, and safely dispose of it without causing harm to the environment.
