Give stubborn oil marks some proper attention.
A leaking vehicle or accidental spill can leave a noticeable mark on your driveway. Oil can soak into paving, making it difficult to tackle with an ordinary clean.
Chysto Exterior Cleaning offers targeted oil and grease stain treatment for suitable outdoor surfaces across Hampshire and West Sussex.
We assess the surface and staining first, then explain the improvement we believe is realistically achievable. Some marks can be significantly reduced; others may remain visible.
The right approach depends on what caused the mark, how long it has been there and the material underneath it.
We assess oil and grease staining on block paving, concrete and natural stone, checking suitability before treatment. If the surface has been sealed, please let us know, as this can affect the approach.
Stain treatment can be quoted on its own or alongside a wider patio or driveway clean.
Older oil stains can penetrate deeply, and a single treatment may not remove them completely. Previous cleaning attempts and the condition of the paving can also affect the result.
We’ll explain the likely limitations before you book. Where appropriate, a small test area can help establish how the surface responds.
Our aim is to improve the appearance of the affected area without promising a result that the surface or stain may not allow.
Tell us your postcode, what caused the stain if known and roughly how long it has been there. A close-up photograph and a wider view of the surface are helpful.
We’ll discuss the affected area, any previous treatments and whether a visit or test area is needed.
We’ll agree the work and explain any access restrictions or follow-up treatment that may be required.
Complete removal isn’t always possible. Results depend on the surface, the type of oil and how deeply it has soaked in. We’ll give you a realistic assessment before starting.
We can assess them, although older stains are often more difficult to improve. Please tell us approximately how long the mark has been there.
Yes. We can assess a localised area and quote for treatment separately. Bear in mind that a treated patch may look different from the surrounding weathered or dirty paving.
Tell us which products you used and when. That information helps us assess the next step and any potential effect on the surface.
Please send a photograph and describe the mark. Different stains require different treatments, and we’ll confirm whether it is something we can help with.
The price depends on the affected area, surface and treatment required. We’ll explain the proposed work and price before you book.
Send us a few details and we’ll explain whether we can help and what the next step would be.
